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 Aquarius · house 1
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 12
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.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 1
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In bearing and first impression.
♃ Jupiter in Aries · house 3
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 7 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued independently, and slightly against the grain.
At the threshold, before anything is said.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 7 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 6 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 12 ℞
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.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 2
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In one-to-one dealings, allied or opposed.
The tightest aspects

The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
