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 Leo · house 6
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 5

Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by backing itself, publicly.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 8
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

The direction you keep getting nudged in.

The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 0.19°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ☊ True Node · sextile, orb 0.11°

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♇ Pluto △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.16°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ◻ ♄ Saturn · square, orb 0.31°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.27°
The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ☍ ⚷ Chiron · opposition, orb 0.65°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the injury that becomes a competence face each other across the chart.
