☿ Mercury in Sagittarius · house 10
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

♀ Venus in Aquarius · house 1

♅ Uranus in Cancer · house 5 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.

The tightest aspects
☊ True Node ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.25°
