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 12
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 12
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 1
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 11
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 10 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 1
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In bearing and first impression.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.16°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
