#fixed earth

Those with Taurus on the Ascendant experience the world through their possessions and properties. They identify themselves with the concept of being autonomous, self-sufficient and self-reliant, but here this feeling of security and independence manifests itself through the fixed earth energy that we call Taurus. That means to say Taurus Risings find their individuality through anything they can call theirs; that's how they set themselves apart from the rest.

It should be safe to say that life for a Taurus Rising is a quest for finding security in the world, even if the meaning behind this quest, what's made it necessary, is mostly subconscious. Their self-image and identity is always linked to what they own, so they may appear very much attached to their possessions: children, lovers, cars, houses, jobs, values and life experiences. Possessing all these kind of things and working their way to acquire them is what they feel makes them secure as individuals.

Taurus Risings need to feel safe before approaching anything new in their lives. They are slow, thoughtful and cautious when starting anything new or making any changes. Because of that, those with Taurus on the Ascendant are felt as very patient and steady people. And that also means they hardly abandon or give up something they've already started.

Being blessed and ruled by Venus, these people are often perceived as beautiful or harmonious with strong physical traits. Their body seems solid and tough, but feels rather soft and velvety. Because of Taurus' association to the five senses, those with Taurus on the Ascendant rely on their ability to sense and perceive physical stimuli in order to make a decision. There is something peaceful and calm about their complexion. The walk of a Taurus Rising is slow, persistent and sure; it has its own special rythm.

We can analyze Venus' position and conditions in the Taurus Rising's natal chart to best one's values and self-image.

Venus/1st house: a strong-willed champion, filled with burning desires, feels their legs restrained to the ground by fixed earth energy. There's a need to develop patience and wait for the right moment to truly manifest their force of will.

Taurus is Fixed Earth. This is the root of their stubbornness, determination, and immobility. Fixed takes the most “solid” and “unwavering” form of an element. It is part of Taurus’s life path to learn adaptability and flexibility. From their fixed nature also comes perseverance and endurance.

New Moon in Libra: The Eros of Venus

Yesterday, on October 21, 2025, the Moon joined the Sun at 28° of Libra, inaugurating a new lunar cycle in the Cardinal Air sign. This lunation arises under the direct rulership of Venus in domicile also in Libra, currently in the first decan, a decan of lunar nature, creating a subtle mutual rulership between the night luminary and the goddess who governs her.

The Moon herself is peregrine in Libra, holding no essential dignity by sign or triplicity, even though this Cardinal sign is feminine. Her light depends entirely upon Venusian grace.

Something rare also occurs in this cycle: the next Full Moon, on November 5, will not take place on the opposite axis (Aries) as usual, but rather in Taurus, a sign of Fixed Earth also ruled by Venus. Both the New Moon and the Full Moon are Venusian, under the dominion of the nocturnal benefic, in a sequence of rare elemental coherence.

It is an even more remarkable lunation because, upon reaching its fullness in Taurus, it will draw a striking contrast in the sky. During the two weeks that follow, until Uranus returns to Taurus by retrogradation, no planet other than the Moon will touch Earth signs. The heavens will remain profoundly emotional, introspect, and watery, so the Moon, through her exaltation and plenilunium in the fixed Earth of Taurus, will finally offer the skies a measure of substance and form.

Taurus is Fixed Earth.

Solid and true. Stubborn and predictable. Abundant, sometimes greedy.

The two Luminaries make no major aspects with another planet, thus standing alone in their unison—completely appropriate.
