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 Sagittarius · house 6
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 6
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 6
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 5
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 8
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 2 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 10
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, 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.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.01°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.04°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.13°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♇ Pluto ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.89°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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 ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.03°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near 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.
♅ Uranus ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 1.31°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
