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 Gemini · house 1
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Gemini · house 1
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In bearing and first impression.
♀ Venus in Gemini · house 2
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 8
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 3
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 6 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 4
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 9
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 9 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.02°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☉ Sun △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.67°
The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
AC Ascendant △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.69°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.89°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.

♀ Venus ☌ ♃ Jupiter · conjunction, orb 1.34°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 1.57°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
