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 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 Leo · house 6
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.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ 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 Scorpio · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Taurus · house 2
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 what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♃ Jupiter in Cancer · house 5 ℞
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 1
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Aries · house 1
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♆ Neptune in Aquarius · house 12
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♇ Pluto in Aries · house 1 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 7 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Scorpio · house 8
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
⚸ Lilith in Libra · house 7
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun △ ♂ Mars · trine, orb 0.03°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.06°
The drive to be someone in particular and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ⚹ AC Ascendant · sextile, orb 0.09°
The capacity to want something and go at it and the face a life presents before it says anything assist each other when asked.

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ◻ ☊ True Node · square, orb 0.97°
The drive to be someone in particular 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.
