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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 10
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 9
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 the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 11
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 12
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 3 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 4 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

☊ True Node in Virgo · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.23°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.36°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.78°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.31°
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.
♂ Mars △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.32°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☊ True Node ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.54°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
