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 3
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 3
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 3
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the daily traffic of information.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 4
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 12
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 9 ℞
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 5
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 11 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 1
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 7 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 5
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 5
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.33°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.

☉ Sun △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.46°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.40°
