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 Aquarius · house 12
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 1
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 7 ℞
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 1
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.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Virgo · house 7 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Scorpio · house 9
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♇ Pluto in Virgo · house 7 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued modestly, and with more revision than anyone sees.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 2 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 1
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In bearing and first impression.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.18°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.20°
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.
⚸ Lilith ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.61°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 1.28°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

♀ Venus ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.75°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works obstruct each other.
