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
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 10
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 12
How you go after what you want.
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 4 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 12
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 3 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 11
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 4 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.16°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.37°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.68°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♆ Neptune ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.80°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
♅ Uranus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.73°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.69°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
