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 Pisces · house 1
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 1
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In bearing and first impression.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, 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.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 9 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 8 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 7 ℞
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 5 ℞
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 2
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the matter of keep and livelihood.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.08°

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