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 6
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.

☽ Moon in Cancer · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 6

In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 8

In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 8
Where you want more room.

At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 5

The direction you keep getting nudged in.
