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 Sagittarius · house 7
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Pisces · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

♄ Saturn in Leo · house 4 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.

The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.52°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☽ Moon △ ♀ Venus · trine, orb 0.57°
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.
☉ Sun ⚹ ♆ Neptune · sextile, orb 0.50°
The drive to be someone in particular and the pull toward what has no edges assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun △ ♄ Saturn · trine, orb 1.09°
The drive to be someone in particular and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♂ Mars ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 1.29°

The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus ☍ AC Ascendant · opposition, orb 1.38°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the face a life presents before it says anything face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
