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 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 4
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.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 8
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In bearing and first impression.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 3
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 7
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.01°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.

☽ Moon △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.78°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
