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 12
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 12
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 9
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 4 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 2
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.04°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

♀ Venus ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.20°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
