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 Libra · house 6
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

Where you want more room.

The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ ☿ Mercury · square, orb 0.19°

☉ Sun ☍ ♃ Jupiter · opposition, orb 1.00°

♅ Uranus ☌ ♆ Neptune · conjunction, orb 0.82°
