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
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 Taurus · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 9
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 8
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 2 ℞

♆ Neptune in Libra · house 1 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 11

Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 9 ℞

The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.

The tightest aspects
