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 Scorpio · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 7
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 12 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 1 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.

♇ Pluto in Leo · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
