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 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 6
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 12 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 8 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 1 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 6
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the things done because they are wanted.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 2
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.06°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.08°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.11°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☍ ♂ Mars · opposition, orb 0.19°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☽ Moon △ ♀ Venus · trine, orb 0.68°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.79°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
