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 10
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 2
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 9
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 9
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 12
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 3 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ 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 Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
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 Pisces · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.18°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.59°
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.
♀ Venus ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 0.85°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun △ ☽ Moon · trine, orb 1.06°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 1.05°
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.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.87°
The pull toward what has no edges and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
