Taurus: the sign of stability and values
Taurus is a fixed earth sign, ruled by Venus. Its core quality is steadiness: it connects slowly, through loyalty and shared comforts, and speaks deliberately, once you are sure.
Taurus Sun
Identity grows through steadiness, building, and enjoying what is real and lasting. You may thrive on patience others lack.
Taurus Moon
Feelings settle through comfort, routine, and the senses. Traditionally the Moon is exalted here: steady, loyal, and slow to be shaken. A Taurus Moon needs steadiness, comfort, and time to settle.
Taurus rising
You may meet the world calmly and steadily, and come across as grounded and warm.
Taurus in love
Venus rules this sign: love is loyal, sensual, and steady; you may show care through comfort and presence.
Taurus Mercury and Mars
You may think slowly and thoroughly, preferring practical ideas and firm conclusions. Traditionally Mars is in detriment here: you may act slowly and steadily, and dig in when pushed.
At its best and under strain
Venus rules Taurus. At its best, Venus is loving, fair, able to enjoy. Under strain, it can be people-pleasing, indulgent, or jealous.
Taurus in Vedic astrology
In the Vedic (sidereal) zodiac, the Moon in this rashi gives a mind that settles through steadiness and the senses, with affection shown through loyalty, comfort, and beauty. Its approach to life is building slowly and keeping what works. Because the sidereal zodiac sits about 24° behind the tropical one, many people with a Taurus Sun have a different Vedic Sun sign.
