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 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 4
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 10 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 9 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 10 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 11 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 5
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 4
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.39°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.69°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
☿ Mercury ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.85°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.88°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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 ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 1.04°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.98°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
