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.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 1 ℞
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Scorpio · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the things done because they are wanted.
♆ Neptune in Gemini · house 11 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 11 ℞
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 the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 5
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
⚸ Lilith in Cancer · house 12
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 0.26°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 1.21°
The appetite for more room than is currently available 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.
⚸ Lilith ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 1.92°
What was refused, and refuses in turn and the face a life presents before it says anything are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♂ Mars △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 2.37°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ Venus ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 2.76°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♅ Uranus ☌ ⚷ Chiron · conjunction, orb 2.49°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the injury that becomes a competence are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
