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 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 11
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 8
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 3 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, 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.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 6
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 8
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 9
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.32°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.32°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.55°
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.
♄ Saturn ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 1.01°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
♂ Mars ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 1.16°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♀ Venus ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.91°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
