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 Scorpio · house 1
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 2
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.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.

In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 4
How you go after what you want.

At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 7 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.

In bearing and first impression.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 11
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.

In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 5 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.

In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
