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 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 10
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.

♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.

In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♄ Saturn in Leo · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Gemini · house 12

In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 4 ℞
Where the edges go soft.

⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 5 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
