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 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 4
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, 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.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 9 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 11 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 12 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 8 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.05°
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.
