Gemini Ascendant

With Gemini rising, you tend to be outgoing and assertive when it comes to getting your needs met. You take charge when you have to, and you are generally straightforward and direct in dealing with others. You are adaptable and versatile, but you might need outside motivation because of your distractibility and love of variety. Most likely you are an idea person with a good understanding of other people and a knack for being of service. At times you may get a bit disorganized, getting caught up in details and failing to see the forest for the trees. Your ruling planet, Mercury, usually indicates excellent verbal and communication skills ("the gift of gab") and a fondness for travel, transport, movement, and being on the go.

Sun in Taurus

Taurus, the steadfast Bull (a symbol of fertility and nature) has a strong desire to establish and maintain security. The ruler of Taurus is Venus, the sensuous goddess of love, beauty, harmony, and bodily delights. Taurus understands the value of things and governs our money and possessions. The typical Taurus is dependable, conservative, hard working, practical, organized, determined, patient, and deliberate. As a parent, Taurus finds it essential to be a good provider. You are likely to want a job that allows steady advancement, and you may prefer a secure position in a well-established company.

Taureans are good with money and can excel at careers connected with banking, property, hotels, restaurants, stocks, money management, economics, and finance. When they are engaged in intellectual fields, they see themselves as constructing an important body of work that they can pass on to future generations.

Moon in Aquarius

An Aquarius Moon suggests that you are a friendly person who values personal freedom, equal rights, civil liberties, and humanitarian ideals. You are intellectually sharp, intuitive, creative, original, and inventive. Your capacity to remain emotionally cool and detached could lead to a career working with clients in an advisory, teaching, or counseling capacity. You might also have an aptitude for mathematics, abstract thought, the law, medicine, psychiatry, computers, the Internet, electronics, technology, engineering, musical composition, modern gadgets or weapons, aeronautics, astrophysics, or any of the sciences. An interest in finance is not uncommon and may lead to work in banking, accounting, stockbroking, or similar endeavors. There is often a talent for writing, making documentary films, or explaining things to others, especially with regard to non-fiction, history, or technical matters.

Many with this placement enjoy work that benefits the community and public welfare or that enhances the lives of children. Some prefer employment in large firms or enterprises, especially ones connected with civil service or government work.

Moon in the Tenth House

With the Moon in tenth house or closely aspecting the Midheaven, you feel a need to make emotional contact with others, to meet some public need, and to achieve recognition or standing in the community. There is often an inner desire for prestige, popularity, power, status, and authority. Your ability to comprehend other people's feelings can lead to success in fields such as politics, marketing, psychotherapy, nursing, social work, education, catering, acting, entertaining, popular writing, sales, and public relations. Your intuitive and empathic understanding can make you a fine counselor, healer, psychologist, teacher, psychic, or astrologer. You have an intuitive feel for what the public needs or desires.

Through its rulership of the sign Cancer, the Moon may indicate a career that caters to public tastes, meets basic human needs, or provides domestic products or services. You appreciate the value of laying firm foundations and have a strong sense of family, history, and tradition. Whatever work you do, you are likely to find yourself taking care of others or looking after someone or something.

Mercury in Aries

Your energy flows naturally into intellectual channels, and you are fond of change and travel. Your facility with words can make you an excellent salesperson.
