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 Sagittarius · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
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 Taurus · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 10
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 12
Where you want more room.
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 1 ℞
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.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 3 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 4 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Leo · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
⚷ Chiron △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.04°
The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
