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 3
Who you are being when you are most yourself.

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.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 4 ℞
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 3 ℞
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
