Sun in Aquarius, Moon in Taurus

You bring together qualities that seem hard to reconcile: a reformer's mind and a love of constancy, inner restraint and deep feeling. You are remarkably persistent. Wanting to reach a goal is what sets you in motion, and once you have chosen one, you try to stay with it instead of scattering your energy on small things. What others around you think or do has little power to move you. You love freedom and independence, you have the soul of a reformer who does not accept taboos and limits easily, and you push back against rigid thinking and ideas that smell of mothballs.

You are generous toward others, kind and cheerful, and your eyes are on the future. Vanity is largely foreign to you.

Values that society takes for granted mean little to you unless you agree with them, and you rarely do something only because it is the accepted way. Your decisions often surprise the people around you, and your original behavior and thoughts can earn you a reputation as an eccentric. Yet the way you carry out those decisions is steady, purposeful and gentle, and you always keep material matters in view, since they are important to you. You are far from an idle dreamer: you put your sharp analytical mind to work on very practical goals. In everyday life, though, you tend to keep to familiar, proven ways more than your bold ideas suggest, and your loyalty to the people you love keeps you steady.

You like to spend your free time with friends and like-minded people. Who else can listen to you so closely and share your hopes as well as those who are close to you in spirit?

You relax best in a calm, comfortable setting that gives you a sense of stability. Home and family mean a great deal to you. Long separations from loved ones are hard for you, because you are deeply attached to them and a quiet anxiety can settle in when they are far away.

Your intuition is strong, and sudden flashes of insight are a familiar part of your life. Your energy tends to rise and fall sharply. Even though you love stability, especially in family life, a taste for adventure lives in you as well. You value peace and comfort at home and, almost without noticing, you try to hold on to a situation once it feels good. You care for your loved ones gently, with a fine sense of what each of them needs.

Your mother has a strong influence on your inner world, and the emotional bond with her is likely to stay strong throughout your life.

What you set out to do and what you need inside do not always pull in the same direction. At times you may doubt yourself or find it hard to get started, and trusting your own steady strength is part of your path.

In a man's chart, this combination gives a freedom-loving character, a need to connect with friends and like-minded people, original behavior and a democratic outlook. He is often drawn to a partner who is gentle, sweet, kind and romantic. In a woman's chart, the combination lets her softer, receptive side express itself in harmony, and she is drawn to a partner who is independent, sociable and analytical, looks to the future and keeps a certain unpredictability in what he does.
