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 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 Leo · house 8
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 Taurus · house 5
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 7
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 Cancer · house 7
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 7
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 10 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 12 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ 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.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 4
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 11
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.02°
The drive to be someone in particular 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 · opposition, orb 0.26°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♇ Pluto ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.28°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
♀ Venus ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 0.56°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♄ Saturn ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.11°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
☉ Sun △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.21°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
