| With seven planets in the signs of Taurus and Libra it's no wonder Irving Berlin made music his life's work. Both of these signs are naturally musical as both are traditionally ruled by the planet Venus. Cancer rising gives fluidity and emotion to the otherwise stalwart and practical Taurus. MC in Pisces is also an indication of a musical or artistic profession, and the new planet Eris(possible ruler of Libra) is very close to the MC. Sun in Taurus loves rhyme and rythm and the sensual and sonoric elements of life. Sun conjunct Moon gives a love and need of home life and security and women play important or dominating roles in the life. Sun conjunct Mercury gives the ego a mental and diversified outlet for its expression. Venus gives the ego solidity, firmness, and endurance, whereas Neptune sensitizes it and hooks it up to a universal or collective plane. Moon in Taurus is the intuitive artist and producer. These people are very solid and reliable and combine sensitivity with practicality. Moon conjunct Mercury is the writer and humourist. Moon with Venus is the domestic and business man. Moon with Neptune is the public artist and musician. Mercury in Taurus gives a calm, shrewd, and practical mentality that does not like to be rushed or pushed. Venus is in its home sign here and disposits all the other Taurus planets so that it is very central, coordinating, and powerful. This position gives the true or pure traits of both the planet and the sign; solidity, practicality, sensuality, possessiveness, productivity, artistry, etc. Venus combined with Neptune produces exquisitely beautiful and tasteful art or music. Mars in Libra activates the social, mental, and artistic sphere. These people are clever, attractive, sociable, and will fight for justice, fairness, or equality. Mars conjuncted by Uranus is a very dynamic aspect giving much energy, speed, and innovativeness. Jupiter in Sagittarius is strongest here in its own sign giving unlimited potential for spiritual growth and learning. They are fortunate and benevolent types who usually get what they want or need. Saturn in Leo learns how to love and create and becomes a master performer or entertainer. Uranus in Libra discovers new and unusual ways to coordinate, synthesize, or relate. They are intelligent, attractive, artistic, and need plenty of freedom in all their relationships. Neptune in Taurus is sensual and visual and addicted to all forms of sensory impressions. They are very musical and artistic and can produce some rather beautiful and unearthly songs or works of art. They are also preoccupied with land, ownership, and wealth. Pluto in Gemini people know how to manipulate words and thoughts for greatest effect. This is the powerful writer, the hypnotist, the converter, and the subversive mind. | |
