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 Scorpio · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
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 Gemini · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 9 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 5 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 2 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.31°
The drive to be someone in particular and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.33°

☿ Mercury ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.53°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

☽ Moon △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.49°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
♄ Saturn ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 1.50°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
