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 10
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 1
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 9
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 4 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 12
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 11
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 3 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 3 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.23°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
☽ Moon ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.70°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♂ Mars △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.84°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.17°
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.
☉ Sun △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.40°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.31°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
