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 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 8
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 9
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 12 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 9
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 7
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.07°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.21°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.67°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.70°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.50°
The pull toward what has no edges and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.25°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
