Reading
Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ Sun in Taurus · house 2
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 2
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 3
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 5
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 7 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 3
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 7 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 5
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 3
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the daily traffic of information.
⚷ Chiron in Libra · house 7 ℞
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by looking for the proportion in it.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.35°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public face each other across the chart.

☽ Moon ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.66°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ☿ Mercury · trine, orb 1.15°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.00°
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.
♄ Saturn △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.61°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 2.00°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the impulse to break a pattern that still works run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
