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 Aquarius · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ 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 at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ 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 Cancer · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the part that operates without being watched.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.62°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.85°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.89°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
⚷ Chiron △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.80°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.11°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.20°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
