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 5
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 6
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 8
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 9 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 5
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.10°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.26°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.63°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.60°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.77°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.85°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
