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 Pisces · house 11
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 9
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.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☿ Mercury in Pisces · house 11 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Pisces · house 11
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
Among the people chosen rather than given.
♂ Mars in Sagittarius · house 7
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♃ Jupiter in Gemini · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 6 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 3 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 6 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 9
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
⚷ Chiron in Capricorn · house 9
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In what is believed, and how far it is carried.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 6
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.04°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.

The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☿ Mercury ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.31°

The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

☉ Sun △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 1.04°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
