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 3
Who you are being when you are most yourself.

In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.

☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 3 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.

Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 4

What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 7

In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
