♉︎ taurus placements

taurus sun at 15° – literally built for aesthetic longevity. will take their heartbreak to a garden and plant herbs about it.

venus in taurus at 28° – buys you flowers but expects you to read the subtext of the vase color. 28° adds a hint of late-taurine indulgence: luxury with a side of sensuality. someone with this placement might have a finely curated aesthetic

mars in taurus at 19° – they got that slow burn rage. will remember you cut them in line in 2009 and randomly block you. their anger simmers like thick molasses

venus in leo at 14° – wants to be kissed like a movie scene but gets too embarrassed if you do it in public. 14° adds a layer of regal devotion - they give love like a crown

decans, also known as faces, are subsections of each zodiac sign and in reference to the rulers of each house, divided into three parts and calculated into degrees or days (0° to 9°; 10° to 19°; 20° to 29°; or 10 days within each decan) - there are three decans per sign and they appear in succession based on the order in which the signs appear within their element. decans can be particularly useful for spell timing and planning as well as defining synchronicities between celestial bodies. below you'll find both classical and modern interpretations that account for the outer planets, as well.

"its first part is attributed to the lord of the ascendant, the second to the lord of the fifth house, and the third to the lord of the ninth house." - the picatrix

Mars Sagittarius 4° in 2nd house, in 1st decan Mercury and 2nd duad Capricorn, conjunct Pluto Sagittarius in 3rd house

Mars represents how we fight, assert, pursue, and cut thru opposition/obstacles. It’s our style of blunt force and our survival drive. In Sagittarius, Mars fights for freedom of movement, freedom of belief, and open horizons (philosophical or literal). When it’s anger it operates thru expansive gestures, as in statements, traveling, storming out, or taking leaps of faith.

The 2nd house shows that this energy gets funneled thru resources, possessions, and personal worth/values. It shows someone who defends what they own, works aggressively for income, or reacts angrily to being undervalued. They tend to feel restless if they can’t directly access or control their means of survival.

Now in Chaldean system the 1st decan of Sagittarius is in Mercury. This tones down the “wild horse” aspects of this placement with more sharpness and quick-thinking. Fights (mars ruled things) tend to come thru words, debates, witty comebacks, sarcasm, and receipts. It’s not just about overpowering, but outsmarting others. When it comes to decision-making this Mars configuration runs on curiosity, being mental agile, and restlessness, but risks having scattered focus.

The 2nd duad (dvadasamsa system) of Sagittarius is ruled by Capricorn, so it adds the corresponding flavors of seriousness, calculation, and long-term strategy. Even though the Sagittarius wants freedom the Capricorn duad inserts some discipline with resources. They’ll check the math before spending, plan out how to secure what they want, even if they act like it’s spontaneous. This duad gives it a layer of “don’t mess with my effort” kind of tone.

And there’s the (stationary) Pluto 3H conjunction. This gives the Mars a more compulsive and tunnel vision edge to it. Stationary Plutos are very potent, like a constant undertow. Even if they’re not trying to be intimidating others definitely feel it. These power dynamics flow around speech, communication, siblings, and learning. So when the Mars (resource/value fight) and Pluto (power/control in speech) this configuration becomes someone who weaponizes words to defend themselves, relentless in debates (won’t let things drop, even in isolation), their words can cut deep to the bone (in a witty AND surgical way), and their anger can absolutely feel volcanic when triggered (even if they keep it in check most of the time).

Observations

- to others they always seem like they have a bigger plan, even when they play off being spontaneous or just going with the flow of things

- may act like they’re joking or being casual in arguments but their words have surgical precision and tend to land harder than they’d like to admit

- when their resources or worth are threatened they can turn into something like a debating pitbull: fiery, obsessive, and sharp as hell

- the free-spirited Sagittarius can get a little scary; people can see them destroy reputations, win debates, or shut down a conversation if they really want to

And to add to it, Jupiter Taurus is in retrograde in the 7th house. Since both Mars and Pluto are in Sagittarius they both look to Jupiter for guidance. Taurus adds to the 2nd house edge for Mars but honestly both, more drive towards security, stability, and having tangible results, not just wildly exploring. This may be a Mars that may only budge if they know their basic needs are secure, especially with the retrograde indicating a lot of second-guessing, introspection, and re-evaluation. Creates a tug of war between Mars-Pluto and Jupiter; sometimes they launch into things with fire, then later obsess over if it was really worth it, replaying what happened.

Jupiter in the 7th house, this person can notice that whenever someone challenges their values (2H Mars) or their voice/ideas (3H Pluto) it tends to play out in the arena of the 7th house, like with partnerships or conflicts where someone else it mirroring back the tension. This means this fire gets mixed up with others, whether it’s always sparring with partnerships, close relationships, or people who just can’t stop reacting to them. Yet there’s always this anchor of “will this affect my security, money, relationships?”

- after they blow up they tend to come back to see of it was sustainable or too much; they defend freedom but always with a tone of “how will this secure or destabilize my needs/relationship?”

- their most heated conflicts are always relational, having to do with someone close, a rival, or partner, never strangers

Since you guys loved Pt. 3 so much, here’s a mini part 4, even though I said I was done with observations, so I don’t give out too much info, unless you pay for a chart $250 reading through Cashapp. Anyways, here’s a short one ! This series is now complete ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Enjoy ! ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ ⭐️

Leo Risings can literally look like cats + lions, cheshire cats, even. Ex : Jack Nicholson 🐈 , Donald Trump.

Some Libra Sun men, like the scales, can be very cold, unemotional objects. ⚖️ Objects as we know, do not feel or have emotions. They can naturally be real assholes and see nothing wrong with it at all. They can unintentionally create a lot of enemies this way. Ex : Anthony Mackie. "Nooo pictures ! !" ✋🏽 🙄

*Baby North West voice* 🤣

Aquarius Moons 🌙 can be really intelligent & insightful and even very spiritual, unless they pull from their opposite, Leo and think spirituality or even Astrology is complete nonsense, especially the men. Aqua Moons are outer worldly 🛸, so of course most of them care about a lot more than what meets the eye.

Scorpio Suns like a lot of skull decor or just dark decor and/or edgy decor in general. Especially if they are Boomer or Gen X. Also applies to people born on Scorpio decans. Scorpio Sun favorite holiday may be Halloween. 🎃 The younger generations could often like playing horror and/or intense video games or watching animated horror stories on Youtube. Again, same applies to people born on Scorpio decans. 🦂 They're underworld babies . . . ♡

Anything to do with the Earth or nature in general + mother Earth (since Taurus is rules by the Earth and Venus) , Taurus' seem to indulge in. Ex : Flowers 💐, fresh foods, gardening, smoking trees 🌳 aka weed, spending time in nature, bathing in herbs 🌿 + flowers 🌸, pets, etc.

Despite being the sign of money and resources (represented by the second house) Some Taurus' are so goddamn lazy that they settle with staying at the same job for years and years as long as they make "juuuust enough" 🤏🏽 money to sustain themselves, instead of going further and challenging themselves to have a better, more efficient lifestyle, especially the men. Either that, or they can’t keep a job to save their lives, due to pure laziness. *ₛᵢgₕ*

Low vibrational Mars in Scorpio men literally have a million children out there and may or may not be financially stable to take care of them, which is fucked up , disgusting, trifling and sad. Either way, money isn’t everything, for you simply cannot be at a million places at one time when it’s time to be parentally available in their personal lives (doctor’s appts, birthdays, holidays, graduations, etc, etc). Ex : My grandfather (my mom's dad) has a bunch of kids out there and is still getting random women pregnant til this day, since the 80’s and he’s now 64. This is SO true if they have strong Libra placements (the sign of the womanizer, like Taurus, their brother sign) as well or personal planets @ 6°, 15° or 24°. They just like having little pieces of themselves out there for the fun of it, as if they're leaving some kind of "legacy" behind, planting their seeds. 🌱 An absolute fucking disgrace. Nick Cannon is also definitely a PRIME example of this. Yuck ! 🤢

🪐 ⋆⭒˚.⋆ Astrology Observations ⋆⭒˚.⋆🪐

If you have certain degrees on your houses or in placements it can represent some very significant events for you around that time.

Degrees range from 0°-30°

0°-10°=

New beginnings/new themes/doing things differently, it’s a trial & error type of energy when you have this degree your like a toddler learning the world again, experimenting, playing, figuring it out.

20°-29° =

Ending of old cycles/transforming/purging this degree is very wise in energy if you have learnt it will be more rewarding if not you will learn this degree teaches by manifesting into a lesson you can not ignore.

10°-15° =

Fun/adventure/experimenting this degree is one of the most auspicious times for you everything is comfortable you’ve got a hang of the energy more now & can operate in it in a lot more naturally.

Eg: Aries ascendant 29° progresses into Taurus ascendant 0° the once fiery and hot headed Aries starts to mellow out that famous temper of theirs turns into a quiet stubbornness with boundaries.

I met my first boyfriend on this degree at age 20-21 I was with him while my ascendant sat in both degrees 29° Aries and 0° Taurus I learnt so much through him I had no choice if I tried to resist it was eventually forced onto me anyway (courtesy of 29°)

It was like he manifested as this transit in my physical life a catalyst (courtesy of 29°) for me in love/relationships & my identity in general (progression of asc-dsc/identity & relationships) he helped me grow into my new Taurean traits (courtesy of 0°).

I love my new ascendant it enters the 10° which I am stoked for 21-22 was action-packed with a lot of learning for me 23-24 should be good

P.s - If you are not familliar with decans/degrees & progression charts I suggest you do some research the insight they offer is invaluable.

Special s.o - I love this ladies work a brief breakdown of the ascendants and their 12 house placidius chart system.
