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 Gemini · house 2
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In bearing and first impression.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 12
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 6
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 7 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.05°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.29°
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.

The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.36°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

☉ Sun △ ☽ Moon · trine, orb 0.64°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 0.83°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
