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 Gemini · house 7
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 7
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 7
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.23°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

♄ Saturn ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.59°

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.99°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
