Tarot: The Hermit The Hierophant

Earth in trine, in the house of pleasure

This pairing puts the Sun in Virgo in the 5th house, called Good Fortune, with Taurus rising. Taurus and Virgo are both earth, so the 5th looks at the Ascendant in trine, the easiest of the classical aspects. The house governs creative work, pleasure, children and play. It is a late-evening birth, a night chart in which the Sun is out of its sect, and by night the Moon leads the earth triplicity. Venus rules Taurus and is the chart ruler. Venus travels within 47° of the Sun and Virgo is its fall, so in this chart Venus sits between Cancer and Scorpio, which is the 3rd house to the 7th, and if it shares the Sun's sign it is at its weakest. Tarot gives the Sun's sign The Hermit and the rising sign The Hierophant.

A steady maker with an eye for quality

Taurus rising is unhurried. You listen first, notice the texture of a room and take in the world through comfort and touch. The Virgo Sun in the 5th puts that steadiness at the service of craft: you like making something properly, whether it is a meal, a garden, a ledger or a piece of music. The trine means the persona and the self want the same things, so you are consistent and people rely on you. Strangers read you as calm and competent. Close friends meet the exacting side, the one that notices that the shelf is slightly off. The pleasure of making and the urge to correct sit close to each other in this chart.

Love shown through care and good things

In love you are patient, physical and dependable. You court by providing: a well-cooked dinner, a carefully chosen gift, a repaired door. Taurus wants comfort and certainty and Virgo wants to be useful, so you do best with a partner who notices what you do and says so. The 5th house gives romance a playful side that your practical nature may forget to use. The Descendant is Scorpio, the sign opposite the rising, and it describes what you look for in a partner: depth, intensity and emotional courage. It also shows what you may leave to them, the confrontation and the confession. The risk is love as service with no play. Partners who are warm, honest and willing to draw you out of routine tend to suit this temperament.

Craft that lasts

The placement leans toward work that is practical, skilled and durable. As tendencies, it suits crafts, cooking and food, gardening, finance and accounting, design, medicine and nutrition, building, textiles and any field where quality shows over time. The Sun in the 5th adds a creative strand, so work may turn into something you make for pleasure. Venus as chart ruler brings a taste for beauty, and its sign and house in your chart show which values drive the work. You dislike being hurried and dislike carelessness more. The strain is over-refinement: a thing is good, and you keep adjusting it. Name the day it is finished and release it.

Let the pleasure count

Treat the 5th as a house you are allowed to use. Find Venus in a full chart, since Virgo is its fall and Venus close to the Sun needs patient handling: look at its sign for the way you give and receive affection. Set aside one regular hour for something with no use, such as music, a game, a long meal or time with a child. Stop editing a piece of work after the second draft. Say a warm thing before the corrective one. Change one routine for the fun of it each season. A pair of earth signs rewards steadiness, and the mature version of this chart is steady and generous with its leisure.

Questions to reflect on

  • What do you make for pleasure and not for use?
  • When did improving something stop making it better?
  • Which routines would you keep if you could not defend them as useful?
  • How do you want to be thanked?
