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 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 8
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 2 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 11 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 12 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 6
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.12°
