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
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 Sagittarius · house 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 9
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 10
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 10
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 11
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 7
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 10
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 10 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
In the public record of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 6
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 11
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.15°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.30°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.21°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 1.25°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 2.05°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 1.40°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
