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 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 3
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 4
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♂ Mars in Pisces · house 6
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Libra · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Aquarius · house 5
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♅ Uranus in Leo · house 11 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Aries · house 8
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♇ Pluto in Taurus · house 9 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Taurus · house 9 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 8
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 the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 1
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
The tightest aspects

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
