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 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 6
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 10 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 4
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the daily traffic of information.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 2
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.31°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.54°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.76°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.69°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♅ Uranus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.94°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.33°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
