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 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 1 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 1 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 7 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 1
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 12
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 9 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 3
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 11
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.04°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ☽ Moon · sextile, orb 0.10°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.56°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
