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 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 1 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 11
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 9 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 7 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 12
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 6
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 1
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 2
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
⚸ Lilith ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.27°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.55°
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.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.69°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 1.17°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♀ Venus ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.21°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.52°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
