☉ Sun in Gemini · house 8
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by talking it through, and by keeping several options open.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Leo · house 11
What makes you feel safe.

What you like, and how you go about liking it.
