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 8
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 8
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 2 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 8
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 4 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 10
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 8
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 5
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 3
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.19°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.19°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.37°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.68°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.49°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 1.52°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
