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 5
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.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 9
What makes you feel safe.

In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 5

In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 5
How you go after what you want.
