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 Aries · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 2 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, 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.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 12
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.
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.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 7
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 3
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 8
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.14°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.20°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.53°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.65°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.84°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 1.38°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
