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 Sagittarius · house 4
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 5
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 10 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 9 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Pisces · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the public record of a life.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.11°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.66°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.51°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.72°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
⚸ Lilith ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.96°
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.
♂ Mars △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 2.22°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
