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 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 7
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 5
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 pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 1 ℞
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.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 10 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.

♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 10 ℞

The tightest aspects

What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.30°
