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 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 5
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 4
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 4
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 10 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 5
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 10
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
In the public record of a life.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.51°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.51°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 1.10°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 1.38°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
♀ Venus ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 1.68°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.

The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
