Reading
Put together from what the tradition attributes to each body, sign and house — a portrait to enjoy, not a verdict. The positions beside it are the part that can be checked.
☉ Sun in Cancer · house 6
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 4
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 8
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.71°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.67°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.01°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.85°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.78°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.52°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
