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 9
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.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 9
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued warmly, and on a slightly larger scale than required.

☿ Mercury in Leo · house 10
How you think, and how you say it.

♄ Saturn in Capricorn · house 2 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.

The tightest aspects
