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 Virgo · house 6
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued carefully, by improving the parts that are not yet right.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
☽ Moon in Aquarius · house 11
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.
Among friends, allies, and collective hopes.
☿ Mercury in Virgo · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by useful degrees, and with an eye on the flaw.
In routine, craft, and keeping the machine running.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 7
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 4
How you go after what you want.

In the unglamorous upkeep of a life.
♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 3
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

♆ Neptune in Taurus · house 1 ℞
Where the edges go soft.

What will not be negotiated with, only survived.

The tightest aspects
♆ Neptune △ ☊ True Node · trine, orb 0.09°

The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♂ Mars ◻ AC Ascendant · square, orb 0.64°

The drive to be someone in particular and the direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
