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 12
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 3
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 12 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 11
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 3
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the daily traffic of information.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 9
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.37°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚷ Chiron ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.84°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.86°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.23°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♄ Saturn ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.33°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 1.73°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
