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 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 8
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.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 7
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 2 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.58°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.19°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.10°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☊ True Node △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.12°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 1.51°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
☉ Sun ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.72°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
