Sun in Taurus, Moon in Taurus

With both the Sun and the Moon in Taurus, the qualities of your sign come through especially strongly. The feminine, yin principle sets the tone of your character. You are very purposeful and consistent, and you like to pursue one goal at a time rather than spread yourself across many. What you value most in life is stability, and you work to preserve it in every area. Starting something new takes you a long warm-up. Once you have begun, though, you move slowly but surely to the finish. You prefer what is well established and time-tested, and you approach anything new with great caution. You accept it only when you are firmly convinced it is useful in practice. You radiate calm and reliability.

You are consistent and love comfort. You are very hardworking and efficient. You don't let trifles distract you, and theoretical research holds little appeal for you. People trust you because of your reliability and practical sense. You use your authority calmly and firmly. In life you are a marathon runner, and sprints are not your distance. You are cheerful, natural and gentle. You love good food and hearty laughter. You have a strong sense of ownership.

You can feel possessive both of the people you love and of the things you are attached to, and trusting your bonds can bring you more peace than holding them tightly.

You like to rest in calm, comfortable surroundings that give you a sense of stability, and peace and ease are what restore you. You have a good feel for the material world and know how to work with it. Material things take up a large place in your life. You like money, and earning it well and spending it wisely is a real talent of yours. Although you are generally calm, you can sometimes get angry.

This usually happens when someone lays claim to what you consider yours. Stubbornness is a defining part of your personality. It is very hard to convince you of anything, or to make you do something against your will. Your mother has a strong influence on your inner world. Sleep and food are important needs for you.

A meal is a leisurely ritual for you, one in which you like to savor every moment. Your habits are steady. You value peace and comfort at home. Care and concern for others come naturally to you.

You look after your loved ones gently, sensing well what they need. You feel anxious and uncomfortable when something has to be done in a hurry. Parting from the people close to you is hard for you. You have great patience, loyalty and constancy. Your conscious mind and your inner needs work in harmony, aimed at keeping stability and comfort. You may lack some flexibility and lightness, and your love of pleasure can sometimes run strong, so a little variety and movement can do you good. You make decisions after long consideration and carry them out persistently and gently.

This combination sits more naturally in a woman's chart than in a man's. In a woman's chart, it allows her gentle, receptive side to show in a harmonious way, while in a man's chart it may take some effort to find enough drive and initiative.

With the Moon in Taurus, your love of everything fundamental, lasting and solid grows even stronger, whether it is family, work or savings. You need guarantees in life, and for peace of mind you do best in situations that are proven and stable.
