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 Aries · house 12
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 1 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 7 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 9 ℞
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 8 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 3
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 9
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 8 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.24°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.31°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.48°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it 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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.68°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.99°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 1.12°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
