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 Capricorn · house 4
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 4
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Capricorn · house 4
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 10 ℞
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 7
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 8 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 0.14°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.16°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.40°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.31°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.64°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ☌ ⚸ Lilith · conjunction, orb 0.92°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
