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 Aquarius · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 9
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 5
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 12
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ 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 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.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 8 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 3 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ◻ ♇ Pluto · square, orb 0.15°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.21°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
☽ Moon ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.19°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.31°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♆ Neptune △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.92°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.83°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against 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.
