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 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 12
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 3
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 speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♂ Mars in Aries · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 2
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In resources, and in what is judged valuable.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 7 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Libra · house 11
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 1
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♇ Pluto in Libra · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 11
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.42°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.53°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.95°
The pull toward what has no edges 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.
☉ Sun ◻ ♅ Uranus · square, orb 1.74°

The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.66°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 1.30°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.
