Reading
Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ Sun in Taurus · house 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 7
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 Taurus · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 4
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 5
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 10 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 11
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.04°
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.
☽ Moon △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.08°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.59°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚷ Chiron △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.66°
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 ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.25°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.29°
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.
