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 Cancer · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 2 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 9 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at 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.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 11 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 5
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 1
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.00°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☍ ♂ Mars · opposition, orb 1.54°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
⚷ Chiron ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.34°
The injury that becomes a competence 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.
♄ Saturn ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.64°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ⚹ ☽ Moon · sextile, orb 1.72°
The drive to be someone in particular and the need for safety, and the habits that supply it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 2.29°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
