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 12
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 12
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.11°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.66°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.55°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.52°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.91°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♄ Saturn ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 1.07°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
