Aspects from the 7th house

• 0°–10° Taurus: Krittika, a Sun nakshatra, linking the placement with the 10th (career and status); its gift is clear discrimination, its shadow harsh words.

• 10°–23°20′ Taurus: Rohini, ruled by the Moon, lord of the 9th here, which brings fortune, faith and teachers into it; its gift is fertility of ideas and things, its shadow attachment and possessiveness.
