# Rahu in Taurus
### Pavlo Globa. Planets in the Signs of the Zodiac
In your past life, you worked through the program of Scorpio, meaning you have already gone through inner transformations, turmoil, internal conflicts and protests, through self-destruction and rebirth. Therefore, in this life, you must abandon destruction, base passions, suffering and self-torment; you must rely on self-knowledge, psychological depth and occultism, that is, on the higher traits of Scorpio. By following the path of the North Node—through risk and danger, through indulgence in the love of intense sensations, thrilling dramatic conflicts, and sexual pleasures—you may only become a criminal or a sexual maniac. You must cultivate patience, humility, stability, and endurance within yourself. You need to strive for harmony, balance and peace, equal relationships, in some cases—for family, for agriculture, generally—for earthly, solid harmony. You must focus on accumulating resources, health, and energy to prepare for transitioning to another level, a new movement—that is, developing the best qualities of Taurus.

### Larisa Nazarova. Karmic Astrology
The person has already endured all the filth and “Scorpionic” reproaches, all internal conflicts and painful attachments. Their calling (by Taurus) is clear construction, strengthening energetic resources, endurance, and building the “temple of their soul”—practicing “Hatha Yoga.” Accumulation.
### Avesalom Podvodny. Planets in the Signs of the Zodiac
Here, the soul encounters some of the most difficult karmic lessons. Previous lives were abundantly strewn with certain endings, as the Plutonian force of Scorpio worked through its process of transformation. Now, the individual is so frightened by memories of how the rug was constantly pulled out from under their feet that they adopt a defensive stance toward anyone offering advice on rebirth. In past incarnations, they literally walked through the fires of hell to burn away their false values. Now, instead of turning to the remnants of Scorpio still within them, the individual must build through Taurus a new set of essential values to live by.
Almost all people with this nodal position once encountered the power of sorcery, so in this life, there must be a sharp awakening regarding any remnants of the lower self that persist. In past incarnations, this individual also dealt with powerful sexual impulses that continually threw them off balance. As a result, they became accustomed to seeking gratification in all kinds of relationships, which ultimately proved destructive to their personal ego. Then, dismayed and embittered by the spectacle of everything collapsing around them, they are almost glad to contribute to the destruction of what little remains.
Most conditions of this life are still controlled from a subconscious level, hidden far below the probing gazes of society. The individual may appear sociable and friendly, while in reality, they are plotting some mysterious risky intrigue. Before giving a precise interpretation, it is necessary to carefully study the chart to see how far the soul has moved away from Scorpio. Those who are already closer to Taurus purposefully avoid the fierce turbulence of Scorpio. Those who have only just emerged from Scorpio still experience internal upheavals.
Planets forming a conjunction with either of the Nodes will pull the person toward that Node and literally force the individual to experience it in the current life. For all people with this nodal position, the past upheaval was so intense that there will inevitably be consequences in relationships with family members and close loved ones. Every day will likely be filled with new unforeseen events until one crisis, layering upon another, leads the person to fight for survival. They have not yet learned gentleness and restraint, nor do they take things at face value, as they still believe others always have hidden motives. They feel they must constantly flee from punishment, and in their escape, they leave behind tornado-like destruction of everything they once held dear. Sometimes they see others suddenly change their attitude toward them, but rarely do they pause to understand that the cause lies within themselves.
Whether they are working through past incarnations in Scorpio or progressing through Taurus, their fixed stubbornness represents much of their deeply ingrained way of doing anything. They will make great progress when they can see the actions of others as a reflection of their own subconscious! In past incarnations, the individual was accustomed to a state that, without an outlet, turned into anger. They bear deep scars from insults, and now, like a wounded animal, they may be merciless toward anyone who poses the slightest threat.
At lower levels of consciousness, individuals with this nodal position may stalk their victim, seeking personal blood vengeance. Then, when the debris scatters, they appear as innocent victims, while carefully plotting their victory. Due to the intense emotions constantly seeking expression, they need a creative outlet. Sexual desire must be transformed into Divine Love. All conditions filled with bitterness from past incarnations must be expelled from consciousness until a new seed of the world emerges.
The South Node in Scorpio must burn the bridges of the past and make a decision for the good, guided by the lessons of Lot’s wife: “Never look back!” Through the North Node in Taurus, the individual must learn not to waste or squander their strength. Their greatest achievements in this life occur when, having loved the land on which they live, they appreciate the source of constant nourishment and support. Throughout lifetimes, they have misused their energy, impulses, and desires, feeling alone amid all the oppression and suffering that afflict humanity. Now, through the sensitive impressions of their North Node in Taurus, they must gain the awareness that the abundance in the universe is so vast that they will always have what they need. They must learn to distinguish between what they want and what they need, for although they may not always have the opportunity to fulfill their desires, they are surrounded at every moment by all that they truly need!
When they reach for their North Node in Taurus, they finally acquire stability. Seeing all that is now offered to them, they must stop feeling deceived. Ultimately, in this life, they are destined to achieve a state of contentment, as the boiling volcanoes of Scorpio dissolve into the blue waters of harmony in Taurus—where the beloved Gautama Buddha left His blessing. This is truly a transition from lives of war to the garden of the world.
The position of the South Node in a house indicates the area of life where any remnant of Scorpio’s battles must be overcome, while the position of the North Node in a house shows the area of life where new awareness of trust and reliability can ultimately replace the battles raging below.

Here the soul encounters some of the most difficult karmic lessons. Past lives were abundantly strewn with certain endings, as the Plutonian force of Scorpio worked through its process of transformation. Now you are so frightened by memories of how the rug was constantly pulled out from under your feet that you adopt a defensive stance toward anyone offering advice about rebirth. In past incarnations you literally walked through the fires of hell to burn away your false values. Now, instead of turning to the remnants of Scorpio still within you, you must build through Taurus a new set of essential values by which to live. Practically everyone with this nodal position once confronted the power of sorcery, so in this life there must be a sharp awakening regarding any residue of the lower self that remains. In past lives you also had to deal with powerful sexual impulses that kept throwing you off balance. As a result, you became accustomed to seeking gratification in all manner of relationships that ultimately proved destructive to personal ego. Then, dismayed and embittered by the spectacle of everything collapsing around you, you almost welcomed the chance to help destroy what little remained. Most conditions of this life are still governed from the subconscious level, hidden far below the prying eyes of society. You may appear sociable and friendly, while in reality you are plotting some mysterious risky intrigue. Before giving a precise interpretation, it is necessary to study the chart carefully to see how far the soul has emerged from Scorpio. Those who are already closer to Taurus deliberately avoid the fierce stirring of Scorpio. In those who have only just emerged from Scorpio, inner upheavals still continue. Planets making conjunction to either Node will pull you toward that Node and literally force you to experience it in the present life. For all people with this nodal position the past upheaval was so intense that there will inevitably be repercussions in relationships with family members and close loved ones.

L. Nevidomska, E. Demyanova. Nodes and the Moon
You must learn from Taurus endurance, patience, and business acumen. In childhood you surely caused no small amount of trouble for teachers and parents, as you constantly found yourself in extreme situations and got entangled in risky adventures. You were drawn to the mysterious and unknown; quiet games held no appeal compared to dangerous exploits. Though perhaps the most interesting events in your life took place not in the waking world but within the realm of fantasy. It is time to put an end to that. Come down to earth, curb your ardor, try to control your emotions. Devote yourself to practical matters: try to establish order in your life, strengthen your material position. If it doesn’t work right away—don’t despair; in time you will feel like a fish in water in the world of business. Besides, you can take up painting, singing, theater, crafts, or gardening. And best of all—go live in the countryside.
Planets in Signs. The Art of Forecasting. Semira and V. Vetas
You are guided by a desire for a calm and natural life of feeling, grounded in its hidden potential. Strive for moderation and reject what is unconstructive: anything superfluous can become a source of unnecessary anxiety.
