Taurus Sun, Aquarius Moon

Anyone can dream up something strange. You also know how many people it takes, what it costs and where to park the truck.

The practical visionary

Taurus wants things real, and Aquarius wants things different, so you tend to end up building unconventional things in sensible ways. You may look grounded and traditional, then turn out to have firm views on how society should be rearranged. You care about principles, you’re friendly and straightforward, and you inspire confidence because you actually help. There’s something reassuring about a radical who shows up with a toolbox.

You can be very objective, which people often rely on. You can also be very sure of yourself, which they may not always enjoy.

Friend first

At the start of a relationship you’re often looking for a meeting of minds, and it might take a while for the romantic in you to show itself. Your Sun enjoys touch and comfort, and your Moon stays slightly above it all, so you can seem warm and distant at the same time. You’re steady and loyal once you’ve committed, but you also need a good amount of independence, along with friends and causes that have nothing to do with your partner.

Since both signs are fixed, you can get stuck. If things aren’t going your way, you might simply stop moving, sure of your reasons.

What loosens you up

Let some things happen without a position on them. Dance badly, go to the party, watch the silly film. When someone’s upset, resist explaining the principle at stake, because they probably want you to be on their side first. Saying “I love you” doesn’t compromise your independence. And check your confidence from time to time by asking someone who disagrees with you what you’ve missed. You’re fair enough to take the answer seriously.
