Water Sun, earth Moon, sextile ☉ ♓ ☽ ♉

Sun in Pisces, Moon in Taurus

Sun in Pisces, Moon in Taurus joins a mutable water Sun with a fixed earth Moon, two signs apart in a sextile. The Moon stood 31° to 89° ahead of the Sun, in the new or crescent phase.

Tarot: The Moon The Hierophant

A sextile with Venus in both

Pisces is mutable water ruled by Jupiter, with Neptune as its modern co-ruler, and the Sun holds no dignity there. Taurus is fixed earth ruled by Venus, and it is the Moon's exaltation, her most honoured sign. The signs are two apart, a sextile, the angle of cooperation, and water and earth nourish each other. Venus ties them together: she is exalted in Pisces and rules Taurus, the two places where she is strongest. The Moon stood 31° to 89° ahead of the Sun, which allows the new and crescent phases in Rudhyar's cycle. Tarot gives the Sun The Moon and the Moon The Hierophant, the card of tradition and the teacher.

Imagination with a floor

You meet in tenderness. The Pisces Sun takes in the world's feeling and imagines more, and the Taurus Moon wants to touch, taste and keep what is real. One gives your dreams a place to land and the other keeps the body from being forgotten. The Moon in exaltation is steady, so the feelings are often calmer than the Sun's sensitivity would suggest. In the new and crescent phases you tend to feel as though you are growing something slowly: you plant it and trust that it will take time. Music, gardens, good meals and water restore you.

Devoted, sensual, unhurried

You love with patience and with the senses. Affection is shown through cooking, touch, gifts, a warm house, a standing invitation. You are romantic in the Sun and loyal in the Moon, and you may stay with a partner for a long time, sometimes longer than is good for you. You need a partner who is gentle, steady and generous with presence. Water and earth partners suit you easily, and air and fire partners will need to learn your pace. Ask yourself what keeps you there, love or comfort, since the two feel alike for years.

Beauty and substance

You tend to do well in work that joins sensitivity with craft and the senses: music, art, design, floristry, cooking, gardening, healing arts, hospitality, interior or textile work, finance with a human side. Pisces supplies the imagination and Taurus finishes the object. You may prefer a steady employer to a gamble. The risk is passivity when a change would serve you. Review your situation once a year. These are tendencies of temperament and no recommendation for any career.

Soft, and not for moving

The sextile is easy, and what it lacks is friction. You may drift through a comfortable year and avoid a decision that would unsettle it. Stubbornness may hide under a soft manner: the Moon is fixed and will not be pushed, and the Sun is too gentle to say so. Comfort can be used to avoid a difficult feeling, through food, sleep or shopping. The tradition links Taurus to the throat and neck and Pisces to the feet and lymph, so stress is said to show there. That is a pattern, not a prediction, and it sits beside professional care.

Working with it

Choose one change a quarter that is a little uncomfortable and see it through. Pay attention to the hour when comfort turns into avoidance. Spend time in a garden, by water or with music each week. Say aloud what you need, since a gentle manner can be taken as having none. Keep your finances simple and written down so that worry stays small. Use the crescent Moon each month to start a small, slow project and work on it daily for ten minutes.

Questions to reflect on

  • What do you stay in because it is comfortable?
  • Which dream could take a first physical step this month?
  • When did comfort last stand in for a conversation?
  • What does your body ask for that you postpone?
