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 6
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 6 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ 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 patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Aquarius · house 5
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
♃ Jupiter in Pisces · house 6
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♄ Saturn in Gemini · house 10
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 11 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, 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.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 10 ℞
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.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aquarius · house 6
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued sympathetically, and without a firm boundary.
In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ☌ ☊ True Node · conjunction, orb 0.04°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.15°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♀ Venus △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.49°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars △ MC Midheaven · trine, orb 0.53°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the direction a life is aimed in public run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♀ 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.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 0.76°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
