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
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
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 3 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 5
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 1
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 9 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 3
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by accumulating, and by refusing to be hurried.
In the daily traffic of information.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 12 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 6
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 5
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 Taurus · house 3 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 1
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In bearing and first impression.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.10°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.27°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
☊ True Node ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.58°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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 ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.85°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 1.30°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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.
♃ Jupiter △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.13°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
