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
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 Sagittarius · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 10
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 10
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 9
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 2
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 7
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Leo · house 1
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 7
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.18°
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.
☿ Mercury ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.77°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.53°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.07°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♅ Uranus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.02°
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.
♅ Uranus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.20°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works 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.
