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 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 7 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 12
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.04°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.32°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 1.01°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.48°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 1.97°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♅ Uranus ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 2.02°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
