☉ Sun in Taurus · house 7
Who you are being when you are most yourself.

The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ⚹ ⚷ Chiron · sextile, orb 0.24°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the injury that becomes a competence assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♄ Saturn ☌ ♅ Uranus · conjunction, orb 0.50°
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
Neither can act without the other coming along.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♅ Uranus · sextile, orb 0.68°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the impulse to break a pattern that still works assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ⚹ ♄ Saturn · sextile, orb 1.18°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the encounter with limit, and what is built against it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☽ Moon ☍ ♆ Neptune · opposition, orb 1.76°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the pull toward what has no edges face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
♀ Venus △ ♇ Pluto · trine, orb 1.50°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and what will not be negotiated with, only survived run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
