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 Virgo · house 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Sagittarius · house 6
What makes you feel safe.

In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 5
How you think, and how you say it.

♄ Saturn in Sagittarius · house 6
The strict teacher you thank later.
