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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 7
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.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 6
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 10 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 8 ℞
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 is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 7
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.06°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.10°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚷ Chiron ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.36°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.84°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.96°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.80°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
