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
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 1 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 4
How you go after what you want.

At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 5
Where you want more room.

In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

♇ Pluto in Leo · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
