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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 2
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 you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In bearing and first impression.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 4
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 11 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 4
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.18°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.19°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.40°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.42°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.37°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.53°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
