Reading
Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ Sun in Taurus · house 1
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 1 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 7 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 10
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 12
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 12
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 6 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 8 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 2
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.26°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 0.58°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 0.83°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 1.19°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 1.31°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
♆ Neptune ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.04°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
