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 8
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 is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Virgo · house 5
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 8
How you think, and how you say it.

In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 12
How you go after what you want.

In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 8
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.

Where things are held in common, and where they end.

What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

☊ True Node in Aries · house 12 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.

The tightest aspects
♀ Venus △ ♃ Jupiter · trine, orb 0.18°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the appetite for more room than is currently available run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.17°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 0.25°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.

The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
