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 6
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 Cancer · house 9
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 6
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 4
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 3 ℞
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 9
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 12 ℞
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 10 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 4
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 8
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.23°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.46°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 1.03°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.

☿ Mercury △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.20°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 1.91°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

♀ Venus ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 1.50°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
