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 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 9
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 the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 8
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 what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 2
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 9
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 7
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 5 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Virgo · house 3 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.08°

Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.50°

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
