Hi Taurus!! Glad u liked it!
Well, I too have Sat conjunct Moon and my Mum (a Taurean 2!) is basically my best friend!!
Heres some more info on it though;
The conjunction of the Moon and Saturn suggests that you are emotionally defensive, cautious, and reserved. You are apt to question your self-worth and worry about whether you really make a difference. It's hard for you to form close emotional ties because of your negative and restrained attitudes. The affects of this aspect may stem from harsh discipline or other traumatic experiences in your formative years. For whatever reason, you have a tendency always to expect the worse. Success does come easy to you because of your stern, but always fair management style. Honesty is a hallmark of your nature, and you can always be relied on to render unbiased opinions.
(I always expect the worst!!)

Info on u;
Sun sign: Taurus, Moon sign: Virgo
Socially very much at ease, given to the good life and never happy if you body is not being indulged, you are lucky that your earthy mix makes you work hard. You could otherwise end up as a real louche character. In early adult life you were probably rather restricted by a lack of imagination and too practical an outlook. If anything you were probably a little heavy as a personality, needing mates who would sparkle you up a bit. Your Virgo Moon worries endlessly about everything under the sun and invents quite a few things to agonise over that do not even exist. You need a mate who is calm enough to handle your jitters, tolerant enough to stand your hypochondria, yet flexible enough to let your Taurean side have its way most of the time. What is also highly necessary is a good life style that will give you the good food, drink, clothes and luxurious house that allows you to feel comfortable. You are not flashy but you are acquisitive and need to indulge your sensations. Jealousy can be a problem though you will hide it well since your refined Virgo Moon does not like to admit to such primitive feelings. You need to learn to be more objective about yourself. Standing back far enough to see yourself clearly is not easy and self analysis always seems a waste of time to you. But relationships will not work until you learn to see yourself as others see you.

Your boyf;
Sun sign: Taurus, Moon sign: Taurus
A very earthy New Moon baby, you have less need to relate outside yourself than most. Which does not mean you will not have good relationships. Just that you are less desperate than most to find your other half. A strong sense of mission usually goes with you through life which sometimes gets in the way of love. You undoubtedly adore the good things of life, especially the ones which pleasure the body - food, drink, clothes, a luxurious home. You are extremely tactile even in non sexual situations so you must have people around you who are not too spacy or reserved about body contact. Love to you must be expressed in highly physical ways. It is not an imaginative experience as it is for fire signs, or one to be thought and talked about as it is to the air signs or even felt deeply in a watery emotional way. You must see tangible expressions of love and affection before you will be satisfied that it exists. The problem is being both Sun and Moon in Taurus you would naturally be attracted to other Taureans but it is a rather dull pairing. You need flair, sparkle and variety from the lighter signs. You can be immoveably stubborn so you need a flexible, sometimes submissive mate. You can be ever so slightly self centred when it comes to getting your own way so there is no sense in marrying or trying to mate with a Prima Donna. Jealousy and possessiveness can be problems. You can sulk for ever at slights and hurts. You are a real one-off.

Sun in Taurus Sun in Taurus
Solid, so solid this combination that you might get glued to the spot and never move again. You certainly both need security, both hate change, both enjoy the good life and a good cuddle. But both of you tend to lack imagination and your vision might narrow and narrow down until you turned into vegetables. Too much practicality in a relationship is certainly better than too little. But an overdose can kill feeling, spirit, fire, passion and communication. Neither of you would question the whys and wherefores of life, love and your togetherness so you would never sort the problems out as they came along. You would expect to live your lives in the same unchanging pattern that your families have lived for generations.
Also!!;
Taurus with Taurus -
The two of you bring out each other's powerful yearning for stability and permanence. You probably gain pleasure from considering things like the house you are going to live in and the garden you are going to plant, not to mention the financial investments you can make to maximise your future possibilities.
You can share your appreciation of beauty, nature, a sensible and patient approach to life, and a possessive attitude of ownership which no one but another Taurus would really tolerate.
You are both creatures of habit and neither of you likes change. This is fine as long as you don't get stuck in routines, especially if one or both of you has a creative imagination which needs a bit of chaos and flexibility in order to flower.
Never take each other for granted, and try to have some adventures together rather than spending all your time working to build a stable base. A little uncertainty can keep the romance alive. Also remember that everyone needs a non-practical romantic gesture from time to time: give a poetic present rather than a useful one now and again.

The Taurus partner -
Taurus is a very physical sign. It's a rare Taurean who doesn't possess a strong, intense desire nature. Even Taureans who fear intimacy (perhaps because they've been badly hurt in early life) will still display their innate sensuousness - through affectionate touching and an intense response to anything that's nice to touch, beautiful to look at, pleasant to hear, delicious to taste or lovely to smell. The Bull loves beauty, and can be astonishingly sybaritic. The ascetic approach doesn't go over well, unless you've found one of those more spiritually inclined Taureans (and there are quite a few around) for whom inner peace and serenity count for more than external comfort.
For many Taureans, the sexual side of love takes priority. Where there's good sex, Taurus remains. If Taureans choose to be faithful, they're very faithful. If they don't, they'll pursue their sensual pleasures on the side, enjoying themselves but never allowing such escapades to interfere with the stability of a solid relationship. Stability is really important to Taurus. But keeping a Taurus partner happy means you have to avoid sexual games of the now-you-can-have-me-now-you-can't variety. Your Taurean will simply find someone more available.
The Taurus partner can be very romantic. It's good old storybook romanticism, because this sign can be very conventional, and the old time-honoured rituals and ways work best. Taureans keep their promises, don't promise unless they're sure, and aren't sure until they've checked all the facts, including your bank balance and the history of your family. No, that may not seem very romantic. But Taurean romanticism, although sometimes outweighed by common sense, is genuine. They really believe in engagement rings, white wedding dresses and honeymoons. The Taurus partner remembers birthdays and anniversaries, and expects you to remember as well. Taureans like to give real, solid gifts to demonstrate their love. This is both flattering and reassuring, even when the gift is something frighteningly useful (like an ironing board or a new cordless drill). If you're the more emotive type who craves a flamboyant verbal outpouring of affection, remember that expressing real, raw feelings doesn't come easily to this cautious, sensible sign. If you get too insistent with your demands, that Taurean contentment will slide into a deep, smouldering discontent.
Often a strong sense of responsibility, coupled with a deep need for security, will keep the Taurus partner in a relationship which has long since lost its charm. Taureans can be poignantly gentle, tender and affectionate. They don't get angry easily. Push them too hard, though, or destroy their serenity with too many emotional crises, and you'll be astonished at just how volcanic Taurean anger can be. You may have heard about the famous Taurean possessiveness. This is indeed a possessive sign, and the Taurus partner will often demonstrate this in public by physical gestures of the property-ownership variety. Choose another sign if you want a detached, cool, unpredictable or "open" sort of relationship - unless you're prepared to enjoy an intermittent affair and can accept the fact that your Taurean lover has a steady relationship at home.
For loyalty and steadfastness, no one beats a Taurus. For calmness verging on complacency, too, no one beats a Taurus. So, although keeping the Taurus partner insecure is not a good idea, periodically introducing new elements into your life together can help to keep things alive and moving. While they need stability, they also need inspiration. Most importantly, they need to know they're needed and useful. If they know you rely on them, they will always offer generous support and protection, and the great inner strength that allows them to cope so tirelessly and serenely with the ordinary problems of life.

Moon in Virgo Sun in Taurus
All that earthy strength, solidity and common sense makes you purr. You envy their staying power which you lack though at times you may find them a touch ponderous and lazy. You adapt where they are obstinate. They have a honesty and straightforwardness which you find highly appealing and they never do anything which does not have a practical outcome. They smile amiably at your narking, are slow to rouse to irritation. You can find it difficult to get new projects rolling together.

Moon in Virgo Moon in Taurus
A happy coupling of two earthy, home loving souls. You do share common interests in comfort, good food, gardening, small animals. They are more demonstratively affectionate than you which will help to iron out your wrinkles. Also their solidity will wind your anxiety levels down. Their stubborness will not bother you excessively since you are adaptable by nature and happy to be of service. You work too hard which will suit their lazy nature but then you are not happy being idle. Between you, you do need a little more vision in your lives.

Sun in the First House
Composite Sun in the first house often signifies a relationship that is unusually important in terms of your own lives.
Together you may be able to accomplish more in life than you could have separately.
The two of you may tend to worry too much about how you appear to others. This can lead you to neglect the real problems that are not visible to others. Second, if as individuals you are intrinsically forceful people, the energy of this position may make you come on too strong with others.
For an intimate relationship such as a love affair or marriage, this is an intrinsically excellent position.
* Sun Conjunct Venus
The conjunction of Sun and Venus in the composite chart is one of the strongest indications of a love relationship between two people, even in a friendship. It does not primarily indicate a sexual relationship; instead it signifies love, pure and simple. The attraction indicated by this aspect is so powerful that it can bring together people who are incompatible by ordinary criteria.
If the relationship is laden with conflicts, even a strong feeling of love between you may turn to hatred. In most cases, however, this will be a very fine personal relationship.
* Sun Trine Jupiter
Sun trine Jupiter in the composite chart gives your relationship a good start, and it will be a favorable and positive experience for both of you. You will have whatever you feel you really need in your life together.
You will find that together you are able to express yourselves more adequately to the world than you can as individuals. Your understanding of each other will constantly broaden, giving you the wisdom and openness to deal creatively with any difficulties that arise in your relationship. You have a sense of cheerful optimism and a feeling that together you can handle anything the world may throw at you. And the chances are good that you can.
It is likely that you will travel together and perhaps go abroad or have connections with foreign places and people. Even if you don't actually travel, you will certainly go places together in your mind, exploring new ideas, new concepts, and new dimensions of living.

Moon in the Fourth House
With this placement it is extremely important that the two of you share a common background or experience, for it is likely to be a strong force binding you together. You may feel that you are alone together in a crazy world, protected only by your shared attitudes and origins.
You are together to give each other emotional security. Your security is very likely to take the form of sharing real estate or a house. However, it is necessary to warn you that your desire for emotional security and the related tendency to seek material security should not become the sole factors binding you together. Let your partner know how you feel; your relationship is probably strong enough to stand the strain.
* Moon Square Ascendant
The square of composite Moon and Ascendant places great emphasis on emotional fulfillment within a relationship. This is a relationship that will get nowhere without strong emotional interaction between you. The important point is that your backgrounds give you compatible attitudes about the world.
This relationship will very likely cause each of you to be very attached to elements in your past, so it is important that these be elements that bring you together rather than drive you apart. Your overall compatibility is the only way to judge this. At any rate, watch out for unconscious attitudes from your past that affect the way you get along together now. Live in the here and now with each other, and do not let the past get in your way.
If your relationship is not running smoothly, people around you will find out very quickly. Your emotions as a couple are very quickly transmitted to others, even without any particular idea of conciliating them. You both are more concerned with the relationship between you at all levels than with how it looks to others.

Mercury in the First House
Mercury in the first house of the composite chart indicates that in this relationship communication and community of ideas should play an important part. Therefore this is an excellent placement for all relationships involving business or commerce in any form. However, it does no harm in a personal relationship, which often suffers from a lack of real communication. That should not be a problem for you. The first-house Mercury is usually a sign that your minds are compatible, and you are capable of thinking almost as one person. Of course, this placement is also excellent for any relationship that involves writing or working on a cooperative intellectual venture.
* Mercury Conjunct Ascendant
The conjunction of composite Mercury and Ascendant signifies a relationship in which communication and shared ideas are very important. Fortunately, you are not likely to fall into rigid patterns of behavior in this relationship. The two of you will seek as many varied experiences as possible, but you will tend not to go into any of them very deeply.
Shallowness is the most negative characteristic of Mercury. Although you may cover a lot of ground in your experiences together, you often only skim the surface.
Do not let superficiality deprive the two of you of deep emotional experiences together.

Venus in the First House
Composite Venus in the first house signifies a relationship that is based on love and affection. The ultimate meaning of Venus is attraction based on the ways in which you are different rather than the ways in which you are similar.
You were probably strongly attracted to each other when you first met and as you learn more and more about each other, you remain strongly attracted.
The emotions aroused by Venus are quiet in their expression, friendly rather than wildly passionate. This kind of affection will sustain a relationship for a long time.
* Venus Opposition Mars
Venus opposition Mars in a composite chart creates great magnetism between two people. You each might feel that the other has some tremendously important quality that you lack. This aspect can create expectations that are very hard to live up to, so there is a constant sense of striving rather than just letting things be. Unless you are very careful, you may find yourselves trying to get something out of each other, rather than creating something with each other.
In a sexual relationship, what you are trying to get from each other is sexual fulfillment. Only if you both recognize that sexual fulfillment is something you will get out of the relationship by working together, then you will get what you want.
* Venus Trine Jupiter
Venus trine Jupiter in the composite chart is one of the aspects that really helps to make a relationship successful, particularly a personal one. In fact, a professional association is very likely to become personal as well. The Venus-Jupiter trine is a strong indication of a warm, affectionate feeling between you. You will find that the relationship will help both of you grow as individuals, for it continually brings out your best qualities. There is a feeling of ease and peacefulness with this aspect. Neither of you seems to make unreasonable demands upon the other, but that can sometimes present another problem. If one of you must make some really important changes, the other may be reluctant to raise the issue for fear of disturbing the peaceful atmosphere.
Nevertheless, this is a relationship in which you will feel that you can relax and be yourself with your partner.

Mars in the Seventh House
Mars in the seventh house of the composite chart can indicate that the two of you have a great sense of common purpose. Either you will feel that your energies are infinitely better expressed by being together rather than apart, or you will be in an extreme state of conflict with each other. The seventh is the house of partners and of open enemies. It is also possible, of course, for these two effects to occur together. This creates a love- hate relationship in which your feelings toward each other oscillate rapidly between loving and hating.
The presence of Mars in this house indicates that the ego-energies within this relationship are very strong. In this situation it is not always easy for one of you to accede to the other's wishes. This position requires that the two of you be on an equal footing. Give each other plenty of room to find fulfillment within the relationship and also to find something that you can work for together.
* Mars Conjunct Uranus
The conjunction of Mars and Uranus in the composite chart signifies totally unexpected and strange occurrences, so this relationship will not be an ordinary one. It may be that your relationship exists partly to express rebellion against established modes and patterns in the outside world; the two of you have come together to defy the world. If the relationship does not have this quality of defiance, there may be many ups and downs and unexpected changes within it. This is not the ideal aspect for a stable, reliable association. If this is a sexual relationship, one of you may have another commitment, which will be severely disrupted by this new encounter.
Clearly, with this aspect in your composite chart, the two of you must deal with your relationship in a very flexible manner.
* Mars Trine Saturn
The trine of composite Mars and Saturn tends to lock the two of you into patterns of self- expression that continue to operate even when most inappropriate. Like the sextile, this aspect indicates habits in a relationship. You tend to develop set ways of thinking that are very difficult to get away from, and therefore you find it hard to see matters as they really are.
You both must learn to be more flexible in your thinking about the relationship and avoid responding to each other in automatic ways. In any personal relationship, but especially in a sexual one, it is important to give each other room to be what you are. If you can each grant freedom of self-expression to the other, many of the ill effects of this aspect will be overcome.

Jupiter in the Fifth House
Composite Jupiter in the fifth house is a generally positive indication for the success of any kind of relationship, but especially for friendship or a love relationship. The basic meaning of this placement is that being together will allow both of you to grow and become happier human beings, simply by being yourselves. It is a position of benevolent self-expression. At the same time, you both will be quite idealistic about this relationship, feeling that you should maintain the highest standards of ethics with each other. Honor will be a significant issue, and you will not relate in such a way as to diminish each other's importance.
It is possible that this relationship may have come about because of a mutual interest in religion, philosophy, metaphysics, or the law.

Saturn in the Third House
Saturn in the third house of the composite chart indicates that the two of you must be careful not to fall into set patterns of thought in this relationship. For example, it can indicate that there is a real barrier to communication between you, because each of you is so locked into certain ways of thinking and communicating that you cannot loosen up and listen to what your partner is saying. Remember that it is always necessary to talk in the other person's language.
You must abandon any tendency to believe that your way of thinking is superior to your partner's, because that will only make communication more difficult.
Saturn in the third house also makes the two of you fond of structuring your immediate environment, a tendency that arises from the mental habits just discussed. Mental orderliness is reflected in the way you organize your world.
In a personal relationship, Saturn in the third can also give difficulty with relatives.

Uranus in the Seventh House
Uranus in the seventh house of a composite chart means that together you will strike out into new paths, whether your relationship is professional, business, marriage, or friendship. In a marriage, a seventh-house Uranus can be a source of difficulty, unless the two of you have the courage to do things your own way and not worry about conventional notions of marriage.
In any partnership with this placement, you must grant each other an unusual degree of freedom of action, especially in regard to other people. Attempts to restrict each other will only increase the pressures against your survival as a couple. It is also a good idea for the two of you to work together toward something that is new, different, and unconventional, such as a movement for humanitarian or political reform, or something similar.
* Uranus Opposition Ascendant
The opposition of composite Uranus and Ascendant signifies that it will be very difficult to settle this relationship into any accustomed and conventional patterns. For this reason it is often a sign of an unstable relationship, one that has many serious ups and downs and may even break up and come together again repeatedly. Trying to fit a relationship like this into any kind of legally set pattern is likely to trigger its most unstable aspects.
This relationship will work well as long as it revolutionizes your lives, which it will at first, and as long as it is exciting. If this is a marriage, the two of you must operate with as few rules as possible. You cannot impose rules upon each other, only on yourselves.
One other problem that may arise with this aspect is that the two of you may be challenged by people outside the relationship. Others may try to disrupt this relationship and break it up, but if their power does not become too great, it may even be a binding force between you.

Neptune in the Eighth House
Neptune in the eighth house of a composite chart signifies that a major source of confusion and uncertainty in your relationship may be the material resources that you hold jointly or that concern both of you.
All areas involving business and financial transactions should be regarded with some care. Neptune is the planet of deception and fraud, and these are the dangers you may encounter in your financial dealings. However, Neptune has two sides here, just as it does in the other houses. It can also indicate tremendous intuitive awareness about financial and material resources. And it is very hard to tell when Neptune will have either of these two effects.
The eighth is also the house of major transformations that can occur within a relationship. Neptune here can indicate that hidden and unseen factors in the world around you are causing changes that are difficult to understand. You will have to be very clear in your thinking in order to examine such factors.

Pluto in the Sixth House
Pluto in the sixth house of the composite chart gives importance to duties and responsibilities, to work that must be done.
The actual effect of this placement varies. On the one hand, it can give the two of you a strong desire to get things done. It provides a kind of ambition, not to get ahead, but rather to keep busy. In a personal relationship you may feel that you must work constantly to keep the relationship moving, that it will grow and develop only through constant effort. But there may also be a reverse effect, in which the two of you may feel you always have to try very hard to make anything happen; there is a continual sense of effort and struggle. If you make the effort to fulfill each other's needs, your relationship will grow.
It will also confront its greatest challenges, but they are the basis of growth in a relationship.

How very thoughtful of you to put all of this together for me.

Alot of it resonates with me and my relationship.

Sometimes us earth signs get a bad rap for being boring types. Me being sun taurus, moon last degree of virgo, and cap. rising -I've got a whole lot of earth going on there. Although sometimes I really don't feel I am like what all the books describe me as.

I think some of this has to do with aquarius intercepted in my first house. Uranus one degree away from my MC. My venus mercury mutual reception. Moon in the 8th.
And many other things. You know what I mean?

Virgo was described above as, "lacking imagination". Virgo is a very misunderstood sign.

I am an artist, and I write. The artwork I produce is very detailed - portraits, landscapes, nature. I'm also a very talented painter. My favorite thing to do is murals.

I feel my moon in virgo is one of the reasons I'm so good at this.

Anyway, I loved your reading.

Do you have any books by Steven Forrest?
If not you have got to pick some up. He is an extremely insightful astrologer. I think you would enjoy his work. He goes alot deeper than the surface meaning of signs and plants. I also love Robert Hand and Liz Green.

I thank you again for getting excited and wanting to do a special reading just for me.
You are a thoughtful girl!

Astrology is amazing!
