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 Taurus · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 11
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 5 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, 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.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the part that operates without being watched.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 8 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects
⚷ Chiron ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.78°
The injury that becomes a competence 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.
☉ Sun ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 1.12°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.06°
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.
⚸ Lilith ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.35°
What was refused, and refuses in turn 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.
♂ Mars ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 1.06°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.90°
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.
