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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 1
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.
In bearing and first impression.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 1 ℞
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.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 7 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 2
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 2 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 4
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.06°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.21°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♆ Neptune ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.32°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.66°
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.
♅ Uranus ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.62°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.87°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
