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 Aries · house 4
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☿ Mercury in Taurus · house 5 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Aries · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by starting, and worrying about the shape of it later.
At the root — household, ancestry, what is not shown.
♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 12 ℞
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 solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 1
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♄ Saturn in Scorpio · house 11 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Sagittarius · house 1 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued by building something that will outlast the effort.
In bearing and first impression.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♇ Pluto in Scorpio · house 11 ℞
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
In the wider circle — networks, causes, company kept.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
☊ True Node in Gemini · house 6 ℞
The direction you keep getting nudged in.
The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 6
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued restlessly, gathering more than it can use.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
⚸ Lilith in Pisces · house 3
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 0.45°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

The pull toward what has no edges and what will not be negotiated with, only survived assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
