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 Capricorn · house 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 1
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.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 11
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.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 10
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♂ Mars in Libra · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 10
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 7
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 2 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 2 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Cancer · house 4
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
⚷ Chiron in Cancer · house 5 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.06°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.62°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
