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 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 3
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 the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 11 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 9 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 2
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 6
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the things done because they are wanted.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.02°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
⚸ Lilith △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.70°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 1.35°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚷ Chiron ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.54°
The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 2.34°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 2.37°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
