Sun in Taurus: the fourth house for Aquarius rising

With this ascendant Taurus occupies the 4th, which governs home, mother, property and inner peace and is an angle (kendra). Taurus adds steadiness, sensuality and a wish to build something lasting. The house's natural significator is the Moon, worth checking alongside. Because Venus governs the 9th as well, the 4th and 9th are linked in this chart.

The Sun in the 4th seeks authority at home; property and the father's influence on the household are themes, while inner peace asks the ego to soften. By sign, the Sun is in an enemy's sign, ruled by Venus. Friction with the sign lord can slow its results. Planets very near the Sun become combust; Mercury is always within one sign of it and Venus within two, so check their distance.

• As 7th lord in the 4th: The 7th lord in the 4th promises a home-centred marriage: property or comfort through the spouse, and a partner who values family life.

• 0°–10° Taurus: Krittika, ruled by the Sun itself, so the effect is undiluted; in love it is honest to the point of sharpness and protective of loved ones.

• 10°–23°20′ Taurus: Rohini, under the Moon, which for Aquarius rising rules the 6th, so work, health and rivals enter the reading; its gift is fertility of ideas and things, its shadow attachment and possessiveness.
