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 Gemini · house 9
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Capricorn · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☿ Mercury in Cancer · house 10
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Cancer · house 9
How you go after what you want.
The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♃ Jupiter in Virgo · house 12
Where you want more room.
The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
♄ Saturn in Virgo · house 12
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.
♅ Uranus in Pisces · house 6 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♆ Neptune in Leo · house 11
Where the edges go soft.
The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 10
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
☊ True Node in Libra · house 1 ℞
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 how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
⚷ Chiron in Aries · house 7
The sore spot you end up good at.
The injury that becomes a competence, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
⚸ Lilith in Aquarius · house 5
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
The tightest aspects
☽ Moon △ ♀ Venus · trine, orb 0.27°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and what is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
AC Ascendant ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.52°
The face a life presents before it says anything and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon ◻ ⚷ Chiron · square, orb 1.11°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♂ Mars ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 1.62°
The capacity to want something and go at it 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.
♅ Uranus △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.42°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☉ Sun ☌ ♂ Mars · conjunction, orb 2.16°
The drive to be someone in particular and the capacity to want something and go at it are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
