Reading
Constructed, not stored: each reading below is assembled from what the tradition attributes to the body, the sign and the house. It describes the symbolism — it is not a claim about a person, and unlike the positions it sits beside, none of it is something this site can check.
☉ Sun in Taurus · house 3
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.
In speech, siblings, short journeys and everyday learning.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 3
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
In the near world — talk, errands, the people close to hand.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 2 ℞
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.
In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

♇ Pluto in Sagittarius · house 10 ℞

The tightest aspects
☿ Mercury ◻ ♆ Neptune · square, orb 0.39°
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on and the pull toward what has no edges obstruct each other.

What will not be negotiated with, only survived and what was refused, and refuses in turn obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♆ Neptune ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.50°
