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 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 2
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 resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ 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 Taurus · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 7 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 8 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 3
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 1
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In bearing and first impression.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.09°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.32°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☊ True Node ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.17°
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.
♂ Mars △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.51°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
♂ Mars △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.83°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.91°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
