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 Virgo · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, 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.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 4 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 5 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.04°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.84°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 1.16°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.04°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun △ ☽ Moon · trine, orb 1.55°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☊ True Node ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.16°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
