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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 7
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.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 8
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.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 9
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.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 8
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 8
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 12 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 10 ℞
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.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 10 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the public record of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.01°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply 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.
☽ Moon ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.73°
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 ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.76°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☊ True Node ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.72°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.91°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
♂ Mars ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.46°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
