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 Virgo · house 7
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Cancer · house 6
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.

♀ Venus in Virgo · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.

Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♄ Saturn in Aries · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.

☊ True Node in Capricorn · house 11 ℞

⚷ Chiron in Taurus · house 2 ℞
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.

⚸ Lilith in Gemini · house 4
What you refused, and what refuses back.

At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.70°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♀ Venus · sextile, orb 0.85°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.84°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♂ Mars ◻ ⚸ Lilith · square, orb 1.36°
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.
⚷ Chiron ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.60°
The injury that becomes a competence and the face a life presents before it says anything obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.99°
The capacity to want something and go at it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
