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 7
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 10
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 7
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 6
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 7
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 3 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 5
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 5 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.

⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 10
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 12
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.40°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.67°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.79°

⚷ Chiron ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 1.05°
The injury that becomes a competence and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.

♃ Jupiter △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 1.15°
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.
