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 Gemini · house 7
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 5
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.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 6
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.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 6
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 9
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
☊ 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 by backing itself, publicly.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.

The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.11°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.54°

☉ Sun ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.17°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.07°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
AC Ascendant ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.63°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
