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
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 3
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 near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 5
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 9 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 8 ℞
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 is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 6 ℞
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.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 11
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 9
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
⚷ Chiron ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.12°
The injury that becomes a competence and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.32°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
♀ Venus △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.84°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 1.14°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.14°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 1.31°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
