The Difference Between Taurus Sun & Moon...
|
The sun sign is more apparent to others, while the moon sign is felt more on the inside. This makes a Taurus sun a more shallow, outward representation of the sign than the Taurus moon, which has more depth and is felt more on the inside.
There is an unmistakably soft, graceful, and refined quality to the Taurus moon that isn't seen in the Taurus sun. The Taurus sun is the quintessential bull Taurus is known to be, but the Taurus moon is more like a peaceful cow. An almost tangible feminine softness is present in the Taurus moon person; whereas, a Taurus sun person displays a protective, strong, solid quality.

When relating to either the Taurus sun or moon, you notice this difference. In relationships, Taurus moon people are more careful with other people's feelings than Taurus sun people. They word things carefully and come around to difficult topics slowly so that feelings don't get trampled. Taurus sun people are blunt and factual in dealing with people. They may choose a few nice words to soften a conversation, but overall, they simply say what needs to be said.
The sun always strives to be its sign and the moon simply exists as its sign. So, the sensual, earthy quality of Taurus is something the Taurus sun strives for and enjoys, but the Taurus moon simply is. While the Taurus sun enjoys food, music, scenery and anything else that delights the senses, the Taurus moon actually exudes a sensual nature.

This is most easily demonstrated in the Taurus sense of style. The Taurus moon is naturally endowed with a sense of style. They don't have to learn it or work on developing it. Good fashion sense and decorating sense are simply part of their nature. A Taurus sun, on the other hand, appreciates style, and enjoys it, but has to put some effort into developing it.
Although a desirous nature is found with both the Taurus sun and moon, the Taurus moon has more difficulty restraining it because the moon is unconscious, and its purpose is to provide comfort and security. Whether it's a tangible possession or a sensual experience that is desired, the Taurus moon can't resist it. The Taurus sun is driven to obtain these same possessions and experiences, but it has more restraint. It is more practical and has a more common sense approach in moving through life than the Taurus moon.

The fixed nature of Taurus is more apparent in the Taurus sun person than the Taurus moon person. There is a solid, immovable quality to Taurus sun people that isn't exhibited by those with a Taurus moon. The sun sign is both more apparent to others than the moon, and it is something we strive to "be". So, the Taurus sun person comes across as fixed and puts effort into being fixed, but the Taurus moon person's fixed nature is more hidden and they don't express it to others like the Taurus sun is inclined to do. Rather than wear their stubborn nature on their sleeve, the Taurus moon reserves it for the issues closest to their heart and uses it as a defense mechanism. So, when something is really important to them or threatens their security, their stubborn nature shows through loud and clear. Otherwise, it isn't very obvious.

Overall, the Taurus moon has a softer, gentler manner than the Taurus sun.
The feminine moon wears the feminine nature of Taurus nicely, as the moon is actually exalted in the sign of Taurus. It's a great fit, and the internal comfort level of the moon in Taurus gives these people a peacefulness that shows through to others. The Taurus sun, on the other hand, puts a feminine sign with a masculine planet. So, the sun wears this sign a bit more awkwardly, giving a rigidness to Taurus sun people both in their mannerisms and in their attitude, which isn't seen in those with a Taurus moon. So for the people associating with them, the Taurus sun comes across as strong and solid, and the Taurus moon appears soft and gentle.
