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 12
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 Scorpio · house 7
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 12 ℞
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.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 12
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 3
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 10
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 12
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 5 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 12 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the part that operates without being watched.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 12
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the part that operates without being watched.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.38°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.43°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
⚸ Lilith ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.41°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.73°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.85°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.11°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
