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 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 10 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 7
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 6
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.51°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.39°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.61°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.56°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.67°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚷ Chiron ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.43°
The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
