၇୧ Natal Chart Reading for Vinca

၇୧      Natal Chart Reading for Vinca

First glance at your chart, with the only planets retrograding* being the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, etc.), I intuitively knew that you are someone who seeks the world and the world seeks you back. I felt that you seek understanding of life, in many facets. 

*(A planet retrograding means it appears to be moving backwards from our vantage point, so the themes here are turned inwards.)

Starting with your Sun in Cancer. The Sun, your basic identity as a person, in Cancer, the sign that loves to give and receive, which is also in the 9th house of higher learning. You could be one who finds comfort in knowledge and studying heavier and deeper topics. I thought to myself, just from this alone, you seemed like a book worm, a scholar in the making. 

Your Moon, in the 3rd house of relatives and short distance travel, is in the sign of Capricorn. The moon is uncomfortable here, which led me to believe the way the people immediately around you have or continue to influence your thinking and emotions is a struggle for you. The Moon in Capricorn could indicate a calm and composed thinker. 

However, a thought struck me intuitively. This seems like issues in with the family, issues with your early upbringing have affected how you handle certain situations. Maybe your role models growing up were chaotic and did not provide you the proper example on how to react to things. You could find yourself being the responsible one or the "mom friend". Tying this in with you being a "bookworm", I thought to myself, this seems like a person truly struggling with their immediate family and choosing instead to turn to books and knowledge for comfort. There can be a comfort in knowing about what is unknown. There could also be a fear of the unknown, a fear of the "what-if", so you turn to books to soothe you. Knowledge is power, as one might say, and you seek to liberate yourself.

Mercury for you is in the house of higher learning and in the sign of Cancer. Mercury is our capacity to think, learn, and reason, and for you, Mercury speaks of a clear, thoughtful mind. You are able to read rooms with ease and navigate many spaces with grace because of this. 

My mind began to wonder here intuitively again. Your 4th house of the home in the sign of Pisces. Your experiences in the home could have shaped how you communicate. Maybe you learned to communicate this well by learning, researching how people can and should communicate to practice yourself and see what fits.

Venus in Leo. All eyes on you. People love to love you, and if they don't, they find themselves reeling at how bold and grand you are. This planet is in your 10th house of profession and reputation. While you are a bright beacon, you may attract many jealous eyes, eyes eager to understand how you shine like you do. Little do they know, this is just who you are, no mask or tricks involved. 

In the 9th house, you have Mars in Cancer. Mars is the planet of being assertive and action. In school, you could be someone who watches quietly before acting. Someone who enjoys having all the pieces to a puzzle before making a decision. However, because you took time to gather all sides of an issue, when you do speak, it is with conviction. You know what you know and no one can convince you otherwise. You might also feel a great passion for studying certain subjects. 

All these planets in the 9th house and the sign being Cancer. I imagined this as someone who throws paint at a wall to see what will stick. You could believe there is one idea out there, one solution to your problem and you haven't found it yet. But you keep throwing paint. Something will stick.
