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 3
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 8
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 2 ℞
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 8 ℞
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 12
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 6
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 2
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 3 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the daily traffic of information.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 2
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.17°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.54°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.87°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.70°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.02°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☿ Mercury △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 1.57°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
