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
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Scorpio · house 2
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 4
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.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued on conviction, and at some distance from the detail.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 9
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 long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Sagittarius · house 4
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued by aiming past the target on principle.
In the foundations, where the line comes from.
♄ Saturn in Taurus · house 9 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 5
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
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 Gemini · house 10 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Aries · house 8 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
⚸ Lilith in Capricorn · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued soberly, and with the long arithmetic done.
In the things done because they are wanted.
The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.22°

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♃ Jupiter ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.87°
