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 Aries · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 11 ℞
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 wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 11
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 12
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 7 ℞
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.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.45°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.71°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.57°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.84°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
♂ Mars △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 1.09°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♄ Saturn △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.18°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
