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 2
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 1
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 6
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 6 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 12
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 6 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 2
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.15°
