Sun in Taurus, Moon in Cancer

The receptive, feminine principle, the yin side of life, sets the tone of your character. You are attuned to harmony and stability in everything, you are not especially active in the outside world, and frequent change and constant movement do not suit you. You feel most at ease at home, in a cozy atmosphere of mutual love and steady tenderness. To start something new, you need a long time to prepare yourself inwardly, and you need to know it will be safe for you and your loved ones. Your decisions rest on the material benefit you need. You carry them out gently, with a fine sense of the right moment and of how others will respond.

The calm and reliability you radiate flow naturally into careful care for your loved ones, to whom you are deeply attached. Your love of a comfortable life leads you to put all your hard work and efficiency into building solid, lasting prosperity. You use your authority calmly and firmly, and you are ready to give way when your feelings are touched. You have a gift for sympathy and empathy, and you know how to calm and comfort. Your mother has a strong influence on your inner world. People come to you for compassion and peace. You have a fine feel for both the material world and the subtle world of emotions.

You have a strong sense of ownership and are deeply attached to the space around you, to people, to things and even to memories.

Your wish for a dignified and secure life makes you want to gather as much as you can and keep it close, so you may come across as rather careful with what you have. Sharing a little more freely can bring you warmth in return. You are stubborn: it is hard to convince you and practically impossible to make you do something. You give way only when others appeal to your feelings.

You like to rest in very cozy, comfortable surroundings that let you feel well provided for.

You can truly relax only at home, surrounded by family and the people close to you. Being near water is restful for you as well. Sleep and food are very important to you. Your moods tend to change, and you sense your surroundings intuitively. Because you feel things so deeply, you tend to retreat into a protective shell of your own making, and stepping out of it with people you trust can be a relief.

Your conscious mind and your inner needs work in harmony, aimed at comfort both outside and within. You may sometimes lack some drive, energy and lightness.

In a man's chart, this combination gives reliability, diligence and solidity, and he is often drawn to a partner who is gentle, romantic and emotionally warm. In a woman's chart, it brings a harmonious expression of her gentle, receptive side, and she is drawn to a man who is calm, peaceful and patient.
