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.

The tightest aspects
♂ Mars ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.02°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus △ ♅ Uranus · trine, orb 0.33°

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♇ Pluto · sextile, orb 0.32°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.38°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it 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.
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.37°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.

☽ Moon ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 1.06°

Neither can act without the other coming along.
