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 Aquarius · house 1
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☽ Moon in Gemini · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 1 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Capricorn · house 12
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 10
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♃ Jupiter in Taurus · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 12
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♅ Uranus in Scorpio · house 10
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
♆ Neptune in Sagittarius · house 11
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♇ Pluto in Pisces · house 2
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☊ True Node in Virgo · house 8 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aquarius · house 2
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
⚸ Lilith in Leo · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
The tightest aspects
♀ Venus ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.03°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.41°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.

☽ Moon ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.49°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 0.58°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♃ Jupiter ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.01°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
