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 Sagittarius · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ 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 Sagittarius · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 10 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ 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 Taurus · house 8 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

☊ True Node in Leo · house 10 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.

⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 9 ℞

⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.04°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.38°
The face a life presents before it says anything 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.
☿ Mercury ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.95°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on 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 ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 1.33°

The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.81°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.

The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
