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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 2
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 you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 11 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ 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 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.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 4 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 8 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 8 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
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 head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.26°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.24°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
♃ Jupiter △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.41°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.31°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.65°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.

The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
