Reading
Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ Sun in Cancer · house 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 6

The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.39°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.

♀ Venus ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.21°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.01°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚷ Chiron ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.07°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
