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 6
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 6 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 8
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 4
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 4
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 10 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 7
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 6
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.25°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.20°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.75°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.79°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
⚸ Lilith ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.99°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.

♂ Mars ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 1.05°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
