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 11
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 1
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 11 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 10
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 3 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 3 ℞

Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 3 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 9 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.17°

☉ Sun △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.63°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚸ Lilith ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.21°

Neither can act without the other coming along.
