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 Gemini · house 5
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ 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 Taurus · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
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 Pisces · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.45°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.90°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.15°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.40°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚸ Lilith △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.23°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.59°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
