☉ Sun in Virgo · house 6
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 daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 12
What makes you feel safe.

In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 6

The tightest aspects
