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 12
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 12
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 12 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 11
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 11
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 6 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 4
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 6
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 10
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.26°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.22°
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
☊ True Node ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.35°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
☉ Sun ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.61°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.58°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.77°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
