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 5
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 play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 5
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.
In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.
☿ Mercury in Leo · house 6
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.

♀ Venus in Virgo · house 6
What you like, and how you go about liking it.

The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 11 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.

Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.

At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
♇ Pluto in Gemini · house 3

The tightest aspects
♃ Jupiter ☍ ☊ True Node · opposition, orb 0.11°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into face each other across the chart.

The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
