☉ Sun in Pisces · house 7
Who you are being when you are most yourself.

In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.

In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 3 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 4
Where the edges go soft.

At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.

☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.

In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.64°
