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 12
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.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 12
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.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 5 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ 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 Virgo · house 4 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 5 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☊ 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 Sagittarius · house 6 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, 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.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the part that operates without being watched.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ ☿ Mercury · trine, orb 0.22°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.37°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.39°
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.
♀ Venus ☍ ♂ Mars · opposition, orb 0.82°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♄ Saturn △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.79°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.92°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
