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 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 11
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ 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 patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 9
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 9
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In bearing and first impression.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued privately, and with more force than is displayed.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 3 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
⚸ Lilith △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.12°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♄ Saturn ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.38°

☉ Sun ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.39°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
