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 Pisces · house 2
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 2
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 resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In bearing and first impression.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 3
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 9 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 6 ℞
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.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 3
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
☊ True Node in Scorpio · house 10 ℞
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.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 3
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued impatiently, and with more appetite than plan.
In the daily traffic of information.
⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 5

What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.01°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.

♂ Mars ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 1.41°
