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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 11
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 12 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 11
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 11
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 4 ℞
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the part that operates without being watched.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.53°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.49°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.79°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.27°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.85°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.24°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
