For Ascendant in Taurus, 2nd house/ Venus issues become pivotal. Money, available income, Salary, purchasing power, available resources, money you get because you “earned” it, other sources of income, money in your wallet, possession you have, how you sustain your physical needs etc.
For many Taurus Ascendants, the pivotal question becomes; can I sustain myself and be independent from needing my worth to be evaluated by others? This question could motivate the Taurus Ascendants to work independently, free themselves from “tyrannical” authority (especially when Aquarius is on the Mid-heaven)or, in the case of having a “secure” job, work on the opportunity of being paid more money and increasing one’s worth inside that particular job.
Ladder-climbing and securing that much sought after job with all the benefits, is very much a Taurus Ascendant attribute (Capricorn/Leo/Aries/Scorpio Ascendant may do it because they like being in the bosses chair more than the monetary rewards afforded)
So, with this in mind, one can already conclude that to Taurus Ascendant, the career is a given platform for self-emancipation (as far as material issues are concerned). House 2 and Venus should be examined thoroughly.
Your Mars is in the 2d house of Gemini: Interesting that Mars rules the Defence force and this where you want to go to earn your bread and butter (2nd house). Coincidence? Hmmm...
Gemini energy could mean that your expertise may be more intellectual/ communications field related .You are not likely to enjoy being in “the battleground” so to speak. Mars, though, is strenuous, forceful energy and so, it could mean that the way you prefer to make your money will be in a very demanding and intellectually challenging field.
The square with Mercury (the sign that rules Gemini) means that they’ll either be mental challenges in the job that you do; unclear roles, unclear structures, unfair demands, unfair expectations that may inhibit your ability to feel confident in your mental ability.
Or it could also be that the job could fail to stimulate you mentally, be too menial and mundane, lacking in any recreational sophistication and fail, dismally, to live up to expectations(Mercury in dreamy Pisces). Either way, the square to Mercury promises some mental frustration or frustration with regard to freedom of mental expression.
Mars also squares your Sun in Pisces; emphasizing the tension could also affect your sense of self.
The Sun in 11th house in Pisces deals with groups/ organizations that one aligns themselves to that one strongly agrees with; because they reinforce the values, ideals and beliefs that the individual has. Whether these groups are the minority/majority is irrelevant, the individual will feel a sense of unity by being a member and this will contribute greatly to their sense of self; that they a part of something “bigger” ,a part of a necessary “change” or “group think” that can reform the current status quo.
You said something about joining the Marine Corps? Just be sure that the Marine work-life represents the ideals that you want to re-enforce, the tension of finding out the nature of the challenging working environment therein can further be exaggerated when the Marine fails to represent what you so strongly and emotionally(Pisces), identify yourself to be a part of.
Pisces energy can easily “merge” with a perceived ideal and then be greatly disillusioned when that ideal collapses before their very eyes. With the Sun and Mercury in conjunction (Pisces) in 11th house, I’d caution this....
Venus
Venus in Aries is bright and audacious and not afraid to wear their hearts on their sleeve. But when it sits in the 12th house of Neptune/dreams and illusions, it has firm convictions that are just under the surface. There is a strongly passionate and fiery nature that views values, “what’s right” and “personal integrity” as pivotal. The war-like Aries therein means that you can, quite literally, “go to war” for your own personal beliefs.
Just be careful that your personal integrity is not based on self –delusion or far-out ideals. The unstable Neptune (Ruler of your Sun)/Uranus conjunction in the house of great authority figures and teachers (9thhouse) means that you are quick to adopt teachings by “irreproachable” teachers; no matter how “unclear” “erratic”, “vague” and intangible their teachings may be.
The projecting of your own values (12th) on to great authority figures that you admire (9th) is also likely with this Venus-Uranus-Neptune square. This ties in greatly with the Military idealism theme, so do be extremely careful.
I’d advise you to see whether or not the Marine corps aligns to your long-term goals or reflects where you see yourself going for the next 10 years. Hoping to find a sense of direction by joining an organization can only make you vulnerable to “group think”. You become controlled by their ideals and not the other way around.
With strong Neptune themes in your chart, I’d advise you to first be clear on what you value and whether or not those values are represented by the organization you wish to join.
