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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Leo · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 8
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 8
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 8 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by feel, and by who else is in the room.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 4
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 0.20°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ ♀ Venus · square, orb 0.24°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.30°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.49°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.17°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 1.34°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
