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
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 12
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 9
How you go after what you want.
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 7 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
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 urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
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.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
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 sore spot you end up good at.
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 you refused, and what refuses back.
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
☽ Moon △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.12°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.27°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.32°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.53°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚷ Chiron ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.95°
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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.79°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
