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
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 Scorpio · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ 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 Aries · house 7
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 12
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 12 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 11
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, 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 Libra · house 2 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 7
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.08°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.13°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.12°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.16°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.26°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.90°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
