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
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 4
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 9 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 7
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 9 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 8 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.52°
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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.52°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.85°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.01°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☊ True Node ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.66°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.32°
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.
