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 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 6
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 11 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 11 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.00°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

Neither can act without the other coming along.

☿ Mercury ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.31°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.34°

What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
