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 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 3
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 6
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 7 ℞
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 partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 11 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 4
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.14°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
