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 Libra · house 5
Who you are being when you are most yourself.

In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

♃ Jupiter in Capricorn · house 7
Where you want more room.

The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.48°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon △ ⚷ Chiron · trine, orb 1.12°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the injury that becomes a competence run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
☽ Moon ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 1.43°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
☉ Sun ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 2.19°
The drive to be someone in particular and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
♀ Venus △ ⚸ Lilith · trine, orb 1.84°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what was refused, and refuses in turn run together easily.
