Aspects for the week beginning 30 April 2017
A Compatibility Guide for Taurus
Are you Taurean, or do you have a friend, relative or partner born under that sign? People usually value the Taurean as the rock in their lives! Is that true for you? In this, the last in the Compatibility series, you have a chance to examine the nuances of Taurean relationships.
Taurean Sun with Aries Sun
As neighbouring signs, they may share planets in each other’s signs, and understand each other well. This partnership tends to work very well if the Taurean allows the Aries to lead, and enjoys supporting the Aries. Traditionally, Aries is ruled by Mars and Taurus by Venus, so John Gray’s book: “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” would have much to say to these two, whichever way round the sexes may be, or indeed whether homosexual, bi-sexual, transgender, pan-sexual or any other combination.
Famous Example: Victoria Beckham and David Beckham
Taurean Sun with Taurus Sun
These two can create a fortress of strength together, or keep each other in a rut! As same signs, they could well share all the varied interests and talents of this sign: art, music, finance, and gardening. They would make good business partners. And in a strong relationship, they can be very supportive to others.
Famous Example: Judy Finnigan and Richard Madeley (T.V. co-presenters)
Taurean Sun with Gemini Sun
People of neighbouring signs often have planets in each other’s sign. Gemini can be too cerebral for Taurus, and Taurus can be too practical for Gemini, but if they have planets in each other’s sign, they can blend energies well.
Famous Example: Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip
Taurean Sun with Cancerian Sun
These two both enjoy domestic activities, so the combination can make for domestic bliss, or a great team in the kitchen. A harmonious pair, who can create a nurturing and supportive environment for others.
Famous Example: Anita Dobson and Brian May
Taurean Sun with Leo Sun
Taurus’ natural style is to support, and Leo’s is to lead, so this relationship can work so long as Taurus doesn’t harbour a desire to lead. There may be some friction, as these two signs are squared, but at a certain level of relationship the two Souls can unite in harmony, and achieve much together. They may share cultural interests, and practical forms of creativity.
Famous Example: Dante Gabriel Rossetti (founder of the Pre-Raphaelites) and Elizabeth “Lizzie” Siddall (his muse)
Taurean Sun with Virgo Sun****
This can be an ideal combination, and full of mutual admiration. Virgo can admire Taurus’ artistry, while Taurus can admire Virgo’s craftsmanship, so a good working partnership. There can be a great deal of harmony between them, but it is possible for them both to get in a rut without outside interests.
Famous Example: Rebecca Miller (film maker, daughter of Arthur Miller) and Daniel Day Lewis, married 21 years
Taurean Sun with Libra Sun
Both these signs are ruled by Venus, so they both enjoy the Arts, including music, and harmony. When collaborating on an artistic or musical venture, they each contribute to their strengths: Taurus contributes form, such as in pottery and sculpture, and Libra contributes composition and design. Therefore they can start an art gallery together, or a singing choir.
Famous Example: Dennis Thatcher (the ultimate Taurean support) and Margaret Thatcher
Taurean Sun with Scorpio Sun
You often find these two together, opposites as they are, and complementary. The Taurean is more laid back, but has the stamina for Scorpio emotions and schemes. There may be a tension between them, but this can also be a strong bond.
Famous Example: Caroline Flack and Olly Murs, a great friendship, with its ups and downs!
Taurean Sun with Sagittarius Sun
Not a natural blend, but there should be plenty of good will with Sagittarius ruled by jolly Jupiter, and Taurus ruled by Venus planet of love. A positive vibe.
Famous Example: Ernie Wise and Eric Morecambe, comedy duo
Taurean Sun with Capricorn Sun****
This can be a relationship of great mutual support. Taurus has a tendency to take the supportive role in a relationship, and Capricorn can have a great moral rectitude which provides stability. They may share an interest in the earth and earth’s treasures, from gardening to pottery to archaeology. They can also be a very successful partnership on a material level.
Famous Example: Martin Luther King and Coretta Scott King
Taurean Sun with Aquarius Sun
There could be some dissonance, especially speedwise, with these two. Aquarians like quick results, and Taureans don’t like to be pushed. They are both strong willed, so may run into problems if their wills are not flowing in the same direction. But, as with all squared signs, they can rise above their differences and create something quite progressive and talented between them.
Famous Example: Amal Alamuddin and George Clooney
Taurean Sun with Pisces Sun
This is a harmonious pairing, and both may be gentle souls. Together, they could achieve a quiet life, if that’s what they want! They may also both be talented in the Arts, and could set up a cottage industry along those lines. The Piscean will be very inspirational in such an enterprise, and the Taurean more hands on.
Famous Example: Liza Minnelli and David Gest (separated after a year of marriage!)

Aspects
Today sees the Saturn-Chiron square at a peak, with Saturn being at the Galactic Centre. This may be crunch time in terms of having to solve a problem which has been plaguing you lately. It is also important to take good care of yourself both physically and mentally, and protect the young and vulnerable.
Better news on Wednesday (3rd May), which sees the end of Mercury retrograde, Mercury being stationary and preparing to go direct. Hopefully, that means all systems go once again: rail, telephone, etc. If you have had problems on these lines in the last three weeks, then you may feel a sense of relief.
Best aspect of the week comes on Thursday (4th) with Neptune sextile the Sun, though its benefits could start to be felt the previous evening. If you are planning the perfect artistic or spiritual expression, then late Wednesday/early Thursday is the best time to pull off your piece de resistance. This especially applies to creative, artistic or musical endeavours, and the world of dance, and even more so if there is a spiritual element. Put the icing on the cake.
The week in bullet points:
- Today – solve that problem!
- Wednesday – move on with your communications
- Thursday – achieve perfection (or nearest equivalent)

Hi Lana, thanks for another full of interest Compatibility guide. Amazing this is now completing the Series, what a lot of work for referral and more thanks for all you’ve written. I don’t know many Taureans, but am clued up now.
So far this week is feeling good for me, and of course Sonny who was so poorly this time last week. He’s firing on all cylinders currently. As I hope my car will be after yet more garage work on Friday.
Lots of good happenings for us all I hope.
Love Sarah

Hi Lana –
Boy was I solving problems today! And it began yesterday. I will be beginning a study course that all happens via Skype (or similar) so I needed all the communication stuff. I had speakers, and got a webcam earlier this week but was still baffled by the microphone. Yesterday I found a wireless headset and it worked so well, I resumed using Dragon Naturally Speaking (though not right now, I’m typing this).
After playing around with the set-up, I tested the new system and – hooray – I can talk to finish my chart notes!!! THAT will save me time and money.
Then today I’ve only been able to sit and relax for a short time before I’m up again and doing something. Cleaned the house, changed the bedding, ironed some sheets for the office. Washed ALL the dogs (with help from Bear).
Oy. I’m ready for a little balance although being this productive this easily was such a lovely feeling.
Thank you for the Tauren guide. Like Sarah, I’m light on Taurens in my private life but it’s great to have a reference for working with them.
Sarah –
I’m so glad Sonny is doing better. Aren’t they amazing how they bounce back?
Janet –
I’m a bit flummoxed regarding DT. He confessed being President was harder than he thought it would be, and that he misses his previous life. Then yesterday he missed a major goodwill/charity event in the Capital to speak at a lawnmower manufacturer. He seems to spend a majority of his time dodging the serious business of, oh I don’t know, HIS JOB?!
Anyway, if I have other insights I’ll jump on and share them.
Love to y’all

Thanks, as always Sarah, for your weekly visit here.
Glad to know that the next time you meet a Taurean you’ll be suitably equipped.
And a good week to you and Sonny!
Love

Dear Dia
Good to hear you fulfilled the brief for Saturn squaring Chiron. I hope the ribbon cutting went well at the end of the week.
I think hubby Mike uses the Dragon Naturally Speaking and has done for years. He does a lot of educational publishing. I may have to resort to it one day.
Love the thought of all those squeaky clean doggies.
And thanks so much for the TrumpWatch. He seems quite stressed, and you never know, he may just walk away from it all at some point.
Enjoy Mercury direct and Sun sextile Neptune!
Love
Lana

Thank you , Dia, for the Trump report “He confessed being President was harder than he thought it would be, ” How I laughed to read that!
And thank you, Lana for some more synastry. I always enjoy reading those.
Love Janet
