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 Taurus · house 9
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 2
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 Taurus · house 9
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 8
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 12
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 Virgo · house 2 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 2 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 2 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 4 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 2
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.01°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.80°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.76°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.65°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.36°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
⚷ Chiron ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.84°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
