☉ Sun in Aries · house 5
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 4
How you think, and how you say it.

At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

♂ Mars in Gemini · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 4
Where you want more room.

At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 5

The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.

Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.04°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.13°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☊ True Node ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.19°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into 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 ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 2.19°

Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 1.75°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.

☉ Sun △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 2.59°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
