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 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 8 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 12 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 12 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the part that operates without being watched.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 7
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In bearing and first impression.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.44°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.48°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.53°
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.
☉ Sun △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.74°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.94°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 1.56°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
