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 Sagittarius · house 4
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 3 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 3
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 4
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 10 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Sagittarius · house 4 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 4
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 2
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.11°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
☊ True Node ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.40°
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

☽ Moon ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 1.09°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 1.42°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.

♃ Jupiter ☍ ♇ Pluto · opposition, orb 1.58°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what will not be negotiated with, only survived face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
