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 Leo · house 3
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

☽ Moon in Aries · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 2
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♀ Venus in Libra · house 4
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 4
How you go after what you want.

♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 9 ℞

In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 8 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.

♆ Neptune in Cancer · house 2
Where the edges go soft.

⚸ Lilith in Aries · house 11

The tightest aspects
♄ Saturn ⚹ ⚸ Lilith · sextile, orb 0.01°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what was refused, and refuses in turn assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
