The Builder

The strength

Venus disciplined by Saturn. The most serious and enduring Taurus: slow to start, impossible to stop, and the one people trust with something that must not fail. You think in decades without finding that remarkable.

The difficulty

Endurance turns into endurance for its own sake. You will carry a weight for years without asking whether it still needs carrying, and you rarely let anyone help.

In love

Undemonstrative and completely reliable. You show love by building the life rather than describing the feeling, and a partner who needs it said aloud will have to ask.

At work

Institutions, property, long-cycle finance, architecture, anything where authority is earned slowly. You are often the most competent person present and the last to say so.
