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 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 6
How you go after what you want.

♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.

In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 1 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞

In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.59°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
