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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 10
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 9
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.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 9
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 6
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 11
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 8
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.28°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
⚷ Chiron ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.41°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.88°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.38°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.97°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 1.47°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
