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 Gemini · house 12
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 1
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 12
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 3
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 1
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In bearing and first impression.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 12
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.32°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.64°
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.
☽ Moon ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.06°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.96°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
♃ Jupiter ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.94°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
♅ Uranus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.96°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
