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 Capricorn · house 1
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 1
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In bearing and first impression.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 8 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Aquarius · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
⚷ Chiron ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.52°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.01°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♄ Saturn · opposition, orb 1.20°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☉ Sun ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 1.43°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.

♆ Neptune ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 1.25°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
♀ Venus ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 1.29°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
