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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 9 ℞
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.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 3 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.11°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.12°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.37°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
☽ Moon ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.32°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☊ True Node ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.62°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
♄ Saturn △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.08°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
