☉ Sun in Taurus · house 4
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
At home, in the family line, and in the private base of a life.
☽ Moon in Aries · house 4
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
♀ Venus in Taurus · house 5
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 2
The strict teacher you thank later.

In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
♅ Uranus in Capricorn · house 1 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.
The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued patiently, on the assumption that the return will be slow.
