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 1
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, 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.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 5
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.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 1 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 9 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 4
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
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 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 12
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
