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 Capricorn · house 11

Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 6

The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 12
How you think, and how you say it.

In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 1

♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 7
Where you want more room.

The tightest aspects
♅ Uranus ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.61°

☿ Mercury △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.20°

The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
