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 10
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 vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 9
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 10
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the public record of a life.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 1
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 11
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 8
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 12
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 5 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 4 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
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 Cancer · house 3 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, 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.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 1 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚸ Lilith in Virgo · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.26°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 0.41°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
☽ Moon ☌ ♀ Venus · conjunction, orb 0.76°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.66°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.48°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♆ Neptune △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 0.89°
The pull toward what has no edges and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
