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 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 2
What makes you feel safe.

☿ Mercury in Aries · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.

♀ Venus in Gemini · house 8
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.

♂ Mars in Libra · house 12 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
Where the edges go soft.

☊ True Node in Taurus · house 6
