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.

  1. Sun in Taurus · house 10

    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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  2. Moon in Sagittarius · house 6

    What makes you feel safe.

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

  3. Mercury in Aries · house 10

    How you think, and how you say it.

    The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  4. Venus in Taurus · house 10

    What you like, and how you go about liking it.

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  5. Mars in Aries · house 10

    How you go after what you want.

    The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.

    At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.

  6. Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 5

    Where you want more room.

    The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

    In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  7. Saturn in Taurus · house 11

    The strict teacher you thank later.

    The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

  8. Uranus in Taurus · house 10

    The urge to break something that still works.

    The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.

    In the public record of a life.

  9. Neptune in Pisces · house 9

    Where the edges go soft.

    The pull toward what has no edges, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

  10. Pluto in Taurus · house 10

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

  11. 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.

  12. Chiron in Capricorn · house 6

    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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

  13. Lilith in Taurus · house 11

    What you refused, and what refuses back.

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

    In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.

The tightest aspects

  1. Neptune Chiron · sextile, orb 0.06°

    The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.

    Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

  2. Sun Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.33°

    The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  3. Venus Pluto · conjunction, orb 1.23°

    What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

    Neither can act without the other coming along.

  4. Moon Pluto · trine, orb 1.53°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

  5. Mercury Chiron · square, orb 1.79°

    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.

  6. Moon Venus · trine, orb 2.77°

    The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.

    Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
