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 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 1
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 11 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 9
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 11 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 10 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 8
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.38°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.45°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.83°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.49°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.59°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.44°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
