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 Pisces · house 11
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 1
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Aquarius · house 11

♂ Mars in Leo · house 5 ℞
How you go after what you want.

The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ♄ Saturn · conjunction, orb 0.45°

☽ Moon ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.63°
