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 Gemini · house 8
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Cancer · house 10
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 12
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 1 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 7
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♆ Neptune in Virgo · house 11
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 8
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by asking around, and by staying interested in the alternative.
Where things are held in common, and where they end.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.19°
The drive to be someone in particular and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.20°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♄ Saturn ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.39°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.58°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.79°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
