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 Libra · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
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 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 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 8 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 9 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
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.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
☊ 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 Cancer · house 4
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.19°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.69°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.64°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.68°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.14°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 2.05°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
