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 Leo · house 10
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 10
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.
At the top of the chart, in reputation and calling.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 11 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.

♀ Venus in Cancer · house 10
What you like, and how you go about liking it.

The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

♇ Pluto in Libra · house 1
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
