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 Sagittarius · house 2
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 5
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 2
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 10 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
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 Gemini · house 8
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.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 6 ℞
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.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.71°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

⚷ Chiron ☍ ⚸ Lilith · opposition, orb 0.51°

☽ Moon ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 1.23°

☉ Sun ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 1.36°

The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 1.55°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
