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 Sagittarius · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 9
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 the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 3 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 11
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 4 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 7
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.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects

☿ Mercury △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 0.50°

Neither can act without the other coming along.
