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 4
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 10
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 11
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 2
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 2
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 12
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 4 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 11 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.47°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 1.42°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.49°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☍ ☽ Moon · opposition, orb 1.88°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.51°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.48°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
