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 Pisces · house 8
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 7 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 9
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 6
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 4
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.68°
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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.85°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.09°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.90°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 2.51°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

♃ Jupiter ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 2.04°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
