Explanation
|
Sun in Taurus, Moon in Sagittarius
You were born with the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Sagittarius. Your essential self seeks
tranquillity, natural living, and accumulation of just enough possessions for subsistence and a
satisfactory livelihood. At the core you are determined, immutable, and firm.
What others see is quite a different image. Your personality casts you as restless, unsettled,
and quick-mannered. You are religious by nature, and even if you profess to be a complete
atheist, you assert your beliefs with the vehemence of a religious zealot.
Conflicting aims are the source of your inner friction. On the one hand you seek rootedness,
fixity, and self-security, but on the other hand, you respond to stimuli from the outside. In
search of the universal, you set out on intellectual voyages, with no concern for your material
possessions.
Ascendant in Taurus, Venus in the First House
At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Taurus was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler
Venus is located in the first house.
Taurus is the second sign of the zodiacal belt and within its rulership there are determination,
common sense, possessiveness, and a tendency to seek material wealth.
You appear as a solid, secure, even slow person, fond of moving along tangible lines, disliking
abstract speculation.
You are loyal and steadfast in your affections. Your overall attitude is amiable, exhibiting much
patience in dealings with other people. You are a sensuous person who likes to indulge in
healthful but always pleasurable activities. In spite of this, however, you have a tremendous
capacity for exercising both will-power and physical strength. A major difficulty you encounter
in life is due to your inflexibility; once you have made up your mind, you are closed to all
other suggestion or opinion.
Venus in the first house merely strengthens the Taurean influences, and adds to it a large dose
of charm, physical beauty, good manners, sympathy and general good fortune. Venus tends the
psychological nature towards docility and amiability; the appreciation of aesthetic values is
further intensified. Finally, because of this position of Venus, social, financial, and domestic
success is more probable.
Sun in the First House
The Sun is in the first house. You are by nature energetic, proud and self-assertive. You
project yourself enthusiastically and energetically into all situations. Your naturally outgoing
disposition and personable manner usually make a good impression on people.
Your heightened self-perception puts you in touch with a strong sense of will, and you can
manipulate your will to suit your aims and desires in life. This position of the Sun gives the
capacity for leadership, for you tend to attract people and to have a strong influence on them
when they are with you.
You do not like to depend on others, but you hold on to your friends, for they are usually
pleased to help you when you need it. You are willing to help close friends who are deserving,
but only if you know that your efforts will be appreciated.
You often prefer to work alone. However, this is not your only choice, for you adapt well to
working with people as long as you are free to express yourself. With a first-house Sun, there is
a tendency to overestimate your own worth, but through repeated contacts with others you will
inevitably come to a more realistic appraisal of your abilities and potential.
Sun Conjunct Ascendant
The Sun conjunct the Ascendant shows that you have a great desire for recognition and are
creative in finding ways to gain attention. In general you are uncompromising. You have great
faith in your ability to rise above any of life's negative circumstances. You know how to use
your vast creative resources in a direct assault against any adversary, and you believe that
eventually you will succeed. Most often you do, but when challenged by stiff competition you will
resort to brute force to demonstrate that you do not give in without a fight. You know how to
win friends and influence people, and you use this talent effectively.
To be truly comfortable in your profession, you need to have a position of some authority over
others.
Venus in the First House
Venus is in the first house. This is a strong position for Venus, for it adds charm to your
personality and gives you an amiable and pleasant disposition.
You concentrate a great deal on your appearance and even if you are not especially beautiful or
handsome, you have a quality of softness and friendliness, which endears you to many.
You like to keep beauty and grace around you as much as possible. You have a strong affinity with
nature and prefer the quiet life of the country to the plastic constructions of city life.
It is likely that you grew up in an atmosphere of warmth and congeniality. Now it is easy for you
to project these same feelings to family and friends, and others often count on you to restore
peace in difficult situations.
You have strong inclinations toward music, art and drama and you may wish to cultivate a form of
artistic expression.
You work very hard to get along with others, and you usually try to win arguments with diplomacy
rather than force. You must learn to be self-assertive when necessary and to stand up for your
own rights, forcefully if need be. Otherwise, people will not have much respect for you.
Relationships are important to you, and you often go out of your way to initiate them. It is
vital that your associations remain harmonious, because quarrels and disputes affect you
adversely.
Saturn in the Sixth House
Saturn was found in your sixth house at the time of birth. This is a very faithful position. It
indicates that your destiny will be fulfilled by overcoming obstacles in achieving success in
your work.
In general, your work orientation and general health may be difficult at times, but you have
enough willpower and stamina to make the best of them. Even if you find problems in working and
you may also be distressed by your relationships with subordinates or fellow employees, you can
prove your reliability by doing your duty and taking responsibility for the general work process.
Most of the more unfortunate circumstances should be regarded as tests of your character and
viewed in this manner, you may obtain much enrichment in your psychic life from this knowledge
and experience of pain.
Saturn Opposition Ascendant
Saturn opposition the Ascendant shows that you are defensive in your associations.
You tend to be so preoccupied with your own affairs that you cannot be too concerned with anyone
else's. But at the same time you accuse people of being indifferent to you. The truth is, you are
so reserved about projecting yourself into their lives that you give the impression you think
yourself better than they are. So they keep their distance and are not likely to warm up to you.
Although you have a mind of your own, you are never sure you can exploit your ideas and get a
favorable response, which you desperately need.
Because you are more competent than most of your competitors, you will never take on a task you
can not handle. Until you try, of course, you will not know this. You secretly fear
responsibility, but you are more than able to perform your duties and fulfill your obligations,
both to yourself and to others.
Moon in the Eighth House
The Moon was found in your eighth house at the time of birth. Since the Moon has intense
qualities of perception, you may find that gradually there is an awakening of interests in sexual
matters, psychic and spiritualistic research, and much mental speculation with ideas concerning
the possibilities of existence after death.
At some point of your existence there will be possibilities of inheritance through members of the
female sex or the maternal side of your family.
