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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 6
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 routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 10 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 12 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 5
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.00°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☊ True Node △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.11°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.65°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.73°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.67°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.48°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
