Sun in Taurus
15°00′Your centre is steadiness: you slowly build things that last, and sensory pleasure orders you. You flourish when you build at your own pace and give tangible form to what you value.
Moon in Capricorn
10°05′Your emotions are sober and deep: it's hard for you to ask, but you hold like a mountain. Your emotional world seeks refuge in restraint, work, pragmatism and self-control. You show affection by supporting and protecting your own, and you find peace when you feel you hold the reins of your life.
