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 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 8 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 4 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 12 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.

In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 12 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
