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 Taurus · house 7
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.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
☽ Moon in Taurus · house 7
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued at its own pace, and not at anyone else's.
Across the table, wherever there is another party.
☿ Mercury in Aries · house 6
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued head-on and at speed, with very little rehearsal.

♀ Venus in Gemini · house 8
What you like, and how you go about liking it.

In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
♂ Mars in Leo · house 9
How you go after what you want.

The tightest aspects
☽ Moon ◻ ♂ Mars · square, orb 0.08°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the capacity to want something and go at it obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♃ Jupiter △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 0.44°
The appetite for more room than is currently available and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
♅ Uranus ◻ MC Midheaven · square, orb 0.42°
The impulse to break a pattern that still works and the direction a life is aimed in public obstruct each other.
The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.
♇ Pluto ⚹ MC Midheaven · sextile, orb 0.60°
What will not be negotiated with, only survived and the direction a life is aimed in public assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
♀ Venus ⚹ ♂ Mars · sextile, orb 0.91°
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the capacity to want something and go at it assist each other when asked.
Available rather than automatic — it takes a deliberate move.
☉ Sun ☍ ♅ Uranus · opposition, orb 1.52°
The drive to be someone in particular and the impulse to break a pattern that still works face each other across the chart.
The tension is usually met by over-committing to one side and meeting the other in people.
