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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ 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.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 9
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.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 3
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 10
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.12°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.12°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☍ ☿ Mercury · opposition, orb 0.23°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♄ Saturn ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.24°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.64°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.02°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
