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 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.

♂ Mars in Libra · house 8
How you go after what you want.

♄ Saturn in Leo · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 8 ℞

The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 0.28°
