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 Capricorn · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 8 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 10
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 11
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 11
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 4
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 12
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.10°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☍ ♂ Mars · opposition, orb 0.23°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♄ Saturn ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.67°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.92°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.39°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.14°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
