Sensitive to everything and quick to sympathise. Finds rest in art, water, dreams and kind company.

Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.

Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker
A steady, sensible mind. Learns by doing and remembers what was learned.
