Tarot: Strength The Hierophant

A fixed square, fire against earth

Leo is fixed fire ruled by the Sun, and the Sun here is in its own house. Taurus is fixed earth ruled by Venus, and it is the Moon's sign of exaltation, where the tradition says she is honoured and steadied. Three signs apart is a whole-sign square, the angle of friction and drive, and fire with earth is not a natural match. Both are fixed, so neither light changes its mind readily. The Moon stood 241° to 299° ahead of the Sun, which places the birth in the disseminating or last quarter phase. Rudhyar linked the first with sharing what you have and the second with re-examining your values. The cards are Strength and the Hierophant.

How will and need meet

The Sun wants recognition, the Moon wants security, and in this pair the two requests sound alike: a place of your own, done well, with people who appreciate it. The Leo Sun gives the display and the Taurus Moon supplies the material, so what you build tends to be solid and good to look at. The difficulty is that the Moon's exaltation makes need feel entitled. Comfort can come to stand for self-worth, and a threat to either is met with a refusal to move. When the two cooperate, you get a person who is generous because they are secure.

In love

You love slowly, loyally and with all the senses. A Leo Sun enjoys courtship and gifts, and a Taurus Moon wants touch, regular meals, a shared home and a partner who is still there in ten years. You need to be admired and to be able to rely on someone. The risk is possessiveness: the Sun wants an audience and the Moon wants no one to leave, so jealousy has two sources. Partners who are warm, steady and unhurried suit you. Quick, changeable partners can wear you out. Apologising first is hard for both lights, so name the quarrel before it hardens.

At work

Fixed fire and fixed earth tend to do well in careers that reward persistence and visible quality: building, hospitality, fashion, food, finance, music, design, management of a long project. Leo gives the presence and Taurus gives the stamina, and once you have a position you hold it. You work badly in constant change, for managers who treat you as replaceable and in jobs with no tangible result. The weakness is refusing to adapt when a method stops working. Money matters to you, and you tend to spend it on quality and display, so a reserve protects your comfort. Treat these as tendencies, not instructions.

Where they pull apart

A square asks for effort. The Sun wants to be out in front, and the Moon would sooner stay in. Leo gets restless when the Moon prefers routine, and the Moon feels pushed when the Sun wants a bigger stage. Both are fixed, so the standoff is slow and can last: a grudge, a silence, a purchase made to prove a point. Pride and comfort are the two pressure points, and a blow to either gets the same answer. Pleasure can also take the place of ambition, with the Moon winning the argument by default. The remedy is movement, taken in small steps.

Working with it

Choose one change a year that you did not need to make and make it. Keep your comforts, but attach them to effort: a good meal after a hard job, not instead of one. When you feel slighted, say so within a day, before the Taurus memory files it. Give the Leo Sun a regular outlet that is not paid for by anyone's attention, such as cooking for people, gardening, singing or making something with your hands. Spend deliberately, with a monthly figure. Ask a flexible friend to tell you when a position has stopped being principle and become habit.

Questions to reflect on

What would you give up before you gave up your comfort?
When did you last change your mind in public?
Who has waited for an apology from you?
What do you want to be recognised for, apart from the things you own?
