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
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 Capricorn · house 5
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Capricorn · house 5 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the things done because they are wanted.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 6
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 6
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 7
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♄ Saturn in Libra · house 2
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 11 ℞
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Libra · house 3
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♇ Pluto in Leo · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, 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.
☊ True Node in Pisces · house 8 ℞
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Sagittarius · house 5
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 Gemini · house 10
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
The tightest aspects
♇ Pluto ☌ AC Ascendant · conjunction, orb 0.10°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived 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.
♆ Neptune ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.12°
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.

♂ Mars ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 0.89°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
