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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 2 ℞
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 2 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the public record of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 2 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.07°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 0.12°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.46°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.78°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♀ Venus ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.24°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

♀ Venus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.16°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
