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 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 10
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 10
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the public record of a life.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 11
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 8 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 12
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.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
