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 Scorpio · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ 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 Taurus · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 4
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☊ 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 generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 11
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.00°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♀ Venus △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.43°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.47°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.32°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 1.43°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 1.65°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
