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 10
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 3
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 9
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 10
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 Virgo · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 9
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 2 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 3 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 1
What was refused, and refuses in turn, 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.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.16°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.77°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.10°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚷ Chiron ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 1.03°
The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 2.16°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 2.82°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
