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 3
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 7 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 1
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 2
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 7 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 1 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 3
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the daily traffic of information.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.31°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
⚸ Lilith △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.46°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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 △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.99°
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.
☽ Moon ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.09°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 1.26°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♂ Mars ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 1.38°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
