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 Capricorn · house 12
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 12
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.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♃ Jupiter in Leo · house 6 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 7 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 9
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 10
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 8
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 2 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.03°

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☿ Mercury △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.07°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♆ Neptune ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.09°
The pull toward what has no edges and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

What was refused, and refuses in turn and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
