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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 8
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 10
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 2 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the public record of a life.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 2 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 10
The direction you keep getting nudged in.

In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 2 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.12°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.14°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.74°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.87°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♅ Uranus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.71°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.83°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
