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 Aries · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.

In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 1
How you go after what you want.

♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 10 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 6

⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.

The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.02°
