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 Virgo · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ 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 Aries · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 6
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 8
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 12 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 12 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In the part that operates without being watched.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.15°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.41°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♄ Saturn ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.47°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 1.32°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 2.37°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 2.38°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
