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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
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 Aries · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, 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.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 7 ℞
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 8 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 6 ℞
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 5 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 12
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.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.85°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.91°
The drive to be someone in particular and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.92°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☿ Mercury △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 1.43°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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 △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.63°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☊ True Node △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.38°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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.
