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 9
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 9
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 5
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 10
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 2 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 3 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 4 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 8
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 4
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
