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 Virgo · house 7
Who you are being when you are most yourself.

The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ☌ ☿ Mercury · conjunction, orb 0.20°
The drive to be someone in particular and the way a mind takes things in and hands them on are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
