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
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
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 Sagittarius · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Gemini · house 9 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 7
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 6
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 11 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 8 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 7 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Sagittarius · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the daily traffic of information.
The tightest aspects
⚸ Lilith ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.01°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☍ MC Midheaven · opposition, orb 0.23°

☿ Mercury △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.25°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter △ ♆ Neptune · trine, orb 0.30°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
