Sun in Taurus
Het Monster: Sun in Taurus I walk through the meadow, Inhale the scent of herbs, Eat them and enjoy the summer. Do not rush me: My pace is important to me, Taurus is stubborn. You know this. A content little bullock chewing flowers, just like your usual content little Taurus, thrives in comfortable conditions. This child cannot have too much affection. His entire nature is very tactile, very receptive to sensations. A little Taurus loves to feel your skin, the scent of your perfume, the tenderness of your voice or the calm music you play. From early childhood, surround the child with soothing sounds, beautiful but not harsh colors, soft fabrics, soft, pleasant-to-touch toys. Adopt calm as a style, and this baby will be an “easy” child, to the envy of other parents whose children are more tense. It is unlikely that this child will have eating problems. More likely, there will be a tendency to overeat. Do not start giving sweets too early. Better let the little Taurus learn to appreciate the natural pleasure of fruit. The taste for sweet and fatty delicacies will reveal itself quite quickly without any help from you—believe me. As the child grows, you will find that he or she “shines” best when given plenty of time and the opportunity to do everything thoroughly and at his or her own pace. “Do not try to rush me,” says his symbol. If you do, you will find that your little bullock resembles a stubborn machine with the brakes permanently on. If the little Taurus slowly trails behind you when you are in a hurry, scolding does not help. “No” is probably one of the first and favorite words. If you must move quickly, it will be easier on your nerves to take the child by the hand or even carry him or her. If you have a free moment, try moving away slowly, telling your little Taurus, “I am going.” Since this child cannot tolerate a sense of insecurity, he or she is likely to hurry a little. If that does not work, return to “Plan A”—a tactic of firm but calm strength. Taurus “shines” with patience and perseverance and gains dignity in learning to finish work and do it well. He or she takes great pleasure in neatness and reliability. And he or she is likely to be quite reliable. You will probably get the best out of a Sun in Taurus by trusting this child to do what he or she sets out to do without worrying or checking too often. Remember that his or her neatness, which exceeds that of the average child, is accompanied by a desire to do the work “just right.” And if the child really loves any task, he or she savors every moment and wants to prolong it. Taurus just tries to savor longer. Your child will enjoy collecting things and may easily learn to save pocket money, proud that the savings are growing. He or she will succeed in arts and crafts such as clay modeling or weaving. Here, you will probably see the perseverance and interest needed to master playing the piano or another complex musical instrument. You may also find that he or she enjoys singing and has a good singing voice. Fast competitive sports are not his or her style; better to choose an endurance-based activity. Let your Taurus’s own style prevail, and do not forget about affection. You have a reliable child who is grounded and whom you can almost always trust: he or she will do everything right—and in its own time. Do not rush him or her!
Indubala. Planets in Signs. (Indian tradition)
Taurus is a sign associated with the earth element. It indicates a practical temperament, the ability to manage, to some extent, the material world. In their approach to life, they are conservative and realistic. The symbol of Taurus is the bull, which speaks of considerable determination, strength, and stubbornness in character. It can be difficult to deal with such people if they are irritated. At work, they are persevering, though somewhat slow. Since Taurus is ruled by Venus, they are tempted in worldly matters and have a restrained temperament. They tend toward philosophy and act as peacemakers. Venus symbolizes desire, and so these people are ambitious and prone to strong emotions. They are persistent, reliable, and serve well. They are strongly drawn to a pleasant environment, love perfumes, flowers, pleasant scents; their activities may be connected with these things. They have musical abilities, love good food and pleasant drinks. They are sociable, intelligent, confident, and tend to captivate the opposite sex with their actions. According to the ancient text Brihad-jataka, such people “may deal with fabrics, may be skilled in singing or playing musical instruments.” Sun in Taurus makes a person cautious, old-fashioned, endows them with a good sense of humor and the ability to analyze before acting. They are patient, waiting for conditions to ripen before implementing their plans. They can make good officials, administrators, know how to acquire things or manage property. Sometimes these people may have heart or eye diseases, they can be stubborn and eccentric. In other cases, they benefit from commercial activities, inheritances, or fortunate marriages.

The Sun enters the sign of Taurus on April 20 and remains there until May 20. The main principles forming the essence of Taurus are typical manifestations of the Earth element. This is a feminine, “yin” sign, a sign of the manifestation of the vibration of the planet Venus. In many ways, Venusians are Taurus. And with information about Venus, you can imagine Taurus yourself. Taurus is depicted by the corresponding animal, which firmly stands on the Earth. This is the bull, as if emerging from the earth, having a direct connection with it. The Earth gives Taurus strength, on the one hand, the ability to feel firmly planted on their feet, and on the other, the Earth seems to attract Taurus, not allowing them to detach from it.
People born under the sign of Taurus are often excellent economists, planners, managers, and salespeople. According to world statistics, there are many ministers of agriculture among them, as well as numerous prominent bankers, financiers, and even politicians. This is all because in all matters they are guided by common sense; they are very grounded, practical, and sometimes pragmatic people.
If we talk about the negative qualities that the Earth gives to Taurus, these are primarily conservatism and a desire for stability. However, on the other hand, conservatism is necessary and beneficial in any serious endeavor. Therefore, if Taurus exhibits healthy conservatism in their desires, it reflects excellently on the work they are engaged in. This same conservatism helps Taurus succeed as lawyers. Their desire to adhere to previously established order helps them achieve great success both in society and in all areas they pursue.
It is necessary to emphasize one important nuance: Taurus acts effectively when they feel solid ground beneath them, meaning they have a clear life platform in any form (a strong family, a solid position in society, substantial material savings, inheritance, as well as intellectual or energetic accumulation). Taurus constantly gathers everything to function normally. This is a necessary condition of their life. Accumulation in itself for a Taurus is neither good nor bad, but natural. The evaluation of “good” or “bad” appears when we begin to analyze how Taurus uses what they have accumulated. If they use it for good deeds, for matters related to the evolution of people, large groups, or all of humanity, it is good. But if Taurus becomes a miser, nothing could be worse.
A small child born under the sign of Taurus will always be gathering something—whether wrappers, coins, books, or stamps. Parents should be very attentive to these inclinations in children so that they do not turn into a quality that corrodes the essence of a person. Sometimes the constant need of Taurus to always have a foundation and some stimulus beneath their feet reaches the point of absurdity; they cannot be guided in life by abstract concepts or philosophical notions. They absolutely need a clearly and distinctly formulated task.
By the way, Taurus struggles greatly with learning, knowledge barely enters their head, but once the information is absorbed, it cannot be dislodged. Material incentives are also important to them in both work and study. For example, there is a well-known case of a person who performed poorly in school, then entered a technical college and continued to do poorly until the day they received their first scholarship. From that moment on, they became an excellent student. There was a period when they failed to prepare for their exams, and as a result, they lost their scholarship. As soon as things improved and they received a large sum of money from their parents as a gift, they became excellent students again.
Accumulation is not a bad trait if it is directed into the right channel. Recall Lenin—he was a Taurus by Sun. He managed to accumulate a vast amount of information throughout his life, thus revealing the highest quality of Taurus, of Earth—firmness and accumulation of information.
Taurus is very patient; they can pursue their goals for a long time. Once they set off, they move forward with such determination that nothing can stop them until they fulfill their plan. This wonderful quality—perseverance and the ability to achieve their goals at all costs when it comes to constructive matters and bringing good to people—is what high-minded Taurus are oriented toward.
All Taurus usually possess diligence and persistence in achieving their goals. Taurus also exhibits creative fertility. The most vivid examples are Karl Marx and Honoré de Balzac.
Among the unusual qualities of Taurus is their heightened sensitivity. In their higher manifestations, in their sensitivity, they literally reach mediumistic abilities, perceiving the objects of the surrounding world on an astral level as if they were a medium.
Among Taurus, we encounter prophets, mediums, and healers who know how to accumulate natural energy within themselves.
If we speak of the lower manifestation of Taurus, this is the miser, the skinflint from whom you cannot even beg for last year’s snow. This is a Plushkin, who accumulates for the sake of accumulation, possessing countless little treasure chests.
Among the countries and regions under the sign of Taurus, we note Ukraine. Indeed, this is a truly Taurus country—strong, grounded, loving to live beautifully and eat deliciously. Moscow is also under the sign of Taurus, and all of us living here somehow manifest Taurus traits: we endure for a long time, but when we finally erupt, we do so with force. Astrologers predict pleasant prospects for Moscow: in the future era, Moscow will become one of the main spiritual centers.
Among capitalist countries, this is Switzerland—a calm, neutral country with an enormous number of banks.
The influence of Taurus is reflected in the human body: Taurus men are typically large, grounded types who inspire authority, and Taurus women are among the most beautiful types: with large, beautiful eyes, slightly prominent with a languid gaze, unusual lashes curved upward, and slightly flared nostrils.

April 21 – May 21. TAURUS
Taurus does not like to change habits. Perseverance is their virtue, but it is also their flaw: generally calm, they can become terrifying when provoked. This is a person who attracts money and things like a magnet. The pile of goods they have gathered provides the peace of mind they seek. They tolerate misfortune and bad circumstances poorly. On the outside, they are calm, but inside they seethe with anger and cannot focus on anything ordinary until the situation is resolved. They have phenomenal work capacity; it is precisely through this that they slowly but steadily achieve success, especially in everything related to agriculture, construction, and food.
Taurus loves children and tries to instill in them (and in everyone around them) the useful skills they possess. The best remedy for a city-dwelling Taurus is to go “back to nature,” to the dacha, to dig in the garden. Their gourmet habits often lead to the formation of a small belly; they fear diets, but some reasonable food restrictions are indicated for them, especially during holidays and parties, which they love so much. They are prone to tonsillitis and, in general, throat ailments; in cold weather, they should especially keep their necks warm. For the overall well-being of Taurus, “sexual balance” (a satisfying partner) is important. Women born under this sign may experience painful menstruation. Calcium and juniper are recommended among herbs.

Taurus person. The main quality of a person with a strong Taurus influence is an intimately direct sensation of form as such, without special attention to its details, as will be the case in the realm of shaping in Virgo. If Taurus sits in a comfortable chair, he feels so at ease there that after some time he (and those around him) no longer understand where Taurus ends and the piece of furniture itself begins. The feeling of comfort is very important to him, yet it surprisingly extends to his surroundings, both animate and inanimate.
Another important quality of Taurus is its fundamental nature (the realm of creation!), a form that has just become aware of itself and is not inclined to lose that awareness. Attachment to form makes Taurus very vulnerable and insecure in unfamiliar conditions when unusual forms appear that he must somehow relate to; this problem is especially acute for an afflicted Taurus, who is very inventive in finding forms that suit him. Upon encountering new forms, Taurus begins to cautiously and awkwardly adapt to them, radiating the strongest charm characteristic of the Earth element (like a small puppy adapting to its mother’s teat). If he fails, he feels extremely unhappy, and those around him, unable to bear his heavy state, start bustling about to ease his existence.
Taurus, by its very existence, attracts various forms (including those of the opposite sex) to itself and knows how to appreciate them. Once Taurus finally succeeds in adapting to the forms surrounding him and settling among those he particularly likes, he crystallizes in his abundance and identifies so completely with the form that it becomes difficult to pull him out of it or force him to change significantly (a constant cross).
If in the negative variant Taurus crystallizes in its form, in the positive one it is inclined, with extraordinary persistence, to create (naturally, forms resonant with itself) forms, not paying much attention to the refinement of details (except for the Virgo decanates), but carefully monitoring the overall structure (especially in the Capricorn decanate). This is the sign of artists, sculptors, scientists engaged in fundamental research.
========================================
Psychologically, Taurus learns and adapts to new environments with some difficulty, and although he has many abilities, especially in craftsmanship, skills do not form immediately but very firmly. The same applies to subconscious programs; it is impossible to refute a confident Taurus even with Aries. On the other hand, despite Taurus’s apparent dullness regarding unfamiliar things, in the psychological realm he is familiar with, he is highly perceptive (a feminine sign) and possesses a unique ability to materialize mental processes. After talking with (quite refined) Taurus about something intangibly hidden, a person discovers that it has taken on quite tangible, almost material forms, and in the process, much else in his inner life that was previously shrouded in mystical vagueness has emerged.
In the crude variant, Taurus does not notice any difficulties or complications except purely material ones, and his mental and emotional life is adequately modeled by a familiar set of instincts, the main ones being the instincts of obtaining food and sex. As for perception, Taurus often experiences it through purely material forms: smell, touch. A refined Taurus can, through tactile sensation, give an internal characterization of a stranger or determine their moral qualities by scent (I am not exaggerating). An attentive Taurus perceives through seemingly external things—such as gait, hairstyle, manner of greeting, and handshake—such subtle details that may escape other signs or require significant effort from them.
A developed Taurus is given a sense of the sublime within the dense material. Being a feminine sign, Taurus does not actively seek the form it needs; rather, it passively suffers in its absence, patiently waiting for it to finally appear (Taurus’s patience, especially when not strongly afflicted, is remarkably enduring). But once interaction with a form he likes begins, in a constructive variant, work with it draws energy, it seems, directly from the form itself. From Aries’ perspective, a miracle occurs, as the person works intensively without visible enthusiasm (i.e., without bursts of energy flow). In reality, no other sign of the Zodiac can match Taurus in diligence and productivity; the sources of energy for a Taurus working with form are inexhaustible (compare the ancient Greek myth of Antaeus, whom even Heracles could not defeat as long as the son of Gaia-Earth touched her).
The intimacy of Taurus’s relationship with form leads to two things: first, he becomes extremely jealous (of forms he considers his property), and second, he cannot tolerate outside interference in his affairs (essentially, he perceives his forms as a Persian shah—his harem wives). Combined with Taurus’s stubbornness, this in a constructive way makes him unbearable and antisocial. Some, however, find this appealing.
The influence of Chiron as the first ruler of Taurus lies primarily in expanding the concept of form. Taurus understands form not only as the material forms of objects but also as the forms of social relations (classes, states, economic forms of human association, etc.) and (for the modern Taurus) astral and mental forms. The modern Taurus is intuitive; moreover, when he consciously engages in occultism, magic, or (more modernly) bioenergetics, psychoanalysis, or hypnosis, those agents previously called astral entities, thoughtforms, conspiracies, “curses,” etc., materialize for him and appear (almost or entirely) as physical and psychological phenomena: biofield, subconscious program, psychological fixation, rapport, etc.
At the moment when Taurus realizes that thought itself is a reflection of a certain form on the mental plane (thoughtforms), he begins to materialize the mental plane and, consequently, its sharp amplification, gaining a strong channel into the egregore to which he is connected and, accordingly, the ability to directly influence his egregore with his (very material) thought. Through Chiron, Taurus’s materialization extends to ethical programs. By comprehending the ethics of his higher egregore (the will of God, in outdated terminology), Taurus receives a clear direction for his spiritual development and, along with it, energy for the realization of the spiritual path (previously called grace). Chiron also makes Taurus a capable psychologist, concretizing many previously vague psychological concepts. Subconscious programs take shape, and relationships between them become clear.
The second ruler of Taurus is Venus. Venus gives Taurus an aesthetic perception of form at all levels, including thoughtforms. Aesthetics largely determines Taurus’s ethics. “Beautiful” and “ugly” behavior for him are not metaphors but a way of seeing an action. When Taurus dislikes something, it seems ugly to him, even if what actually bothers him is not an aesthetic matter at all. A Taurus of a lower octave is not aesthetically developed but is nevertheless extremely capricious about beauty at his level of understanding—and just as stubborn. At a high level, Taurus senses (and creates) the beauty of forms like no other.
Pluto’s confinement in Taurus manifests as a subconscious desire to test any idea or thought by materializing it with his own hands (through the flow of his egregore) and putting it to the test of strength. Pluto’s transformation and disregard for squeamishness (using any material as long as it serves a functional purpose), unlike Virgo, are undoubtedly inherent in Taurus but manifest subtly in the process of creating forms.Mars’ imprisonment in Taurus manifests as a combination of sluggishness and apparent passivity without working with forms, alongside extraordinary energy and activity that awaken appropriate forms within him—until those forms vanish, and he falls back into passivity. An undeveloped Taurus cannot be moved from their place except for sensual pleasures, and even then, they demand to be shared (regardless of gender). The culmination of the Moon in Taurus presents us with the image of Taurus as the fundamental foundation of the human unconscious psyche. In a lower-octave Taurus, psychic reactions are sluggish, and the psyche as a whole is highly conservative, responding only to earthly stimuli (for example, fried potatoes). Meanwhile, in a developed Taurus, a stable unconscious psyche serves as a reliable foundation for working with very subtle and powerful flows of cosmic energy. The Moon’s culmination amplifies the dullness of a lower-octave Taurus with a characteristic maternal-feminine limitation of vision, while simultaneously granting a polished Taurus a great capacity for empathic perception and cosmic love expressed through love of forms.
Uranus’ fall in Taurus reveals itself in conservatism and an instinctive distrust of anything overly new, unexpected, or unprepared by prior developmental history—especially in the mental sphere. The motto of Uranus’ fall in Taurus is: “Revolution is unprepared evolution.” At the same time, at a high level of Taurus’ development, tamed Uranus provides original and unexpected solutions in constructive Taurus activities related to form creation.
The Taurus situation. Characteristic situations dominated by Taurus can be divided into two categories: crystallized or the dominance of backwardness, and constructive or form-building work. The crystallized Taurus situation is the bureaucrat’s ideal: every cricket knows its six, and the place works for the person. Another variation: a decent, well-organized birthday party where everyone is “one of us,” roles are assigned, no surprises occur, and the principle “sit tight!” prevails. Indeed, it may be cozy, but it is boring. A similar situation arises at certain academic seminars on well-worn topics.
The constructive Taurus situation involves arduous labor to create new forms from chaos (less organized matter): for instance, laying the Moscow-Vladivostok railway, solving a large crossword puzzle, or formulating a unified field theory from many disparate private theories. However, in all cases, the aesthetic-practical principle reigns over the Taurus situation: everything must be harmonious and purposeful. True, in a lower-octave Taurus, the aesthetic criterion often reduces to the practical, with the slogan “The beauty of a mushroom lies in its functionality” (i.e., the mushroom is deemed more beautiful the more edible it is, so the fly agaric ranks last in the hierarchy).

Sun in Taurus presents a person with a dilemma: either they work on forms, or those forms will crystallize them in life, meaning they will find themselves externally and internally walled in. The Sun embodies the imperative command of the egregore, realized through the individual’s will. In this case, the command consists of diligent, constructive work with forms. The stronger Taurus’ defeat, the greater the resistance forms will offer, but the Sun allows no retreat—otherwise, an unfinished wall will gradually close in around the person, and they will find themselves imprisoned. Taurus should, however, keep in mind that its ruler, Chiron, grants the ability to work practically at a level of subtlety nearly unattainable for other signs, and it is precisely this level that the Sun in Taurus implies.
Francis Sakoian. The Planets in Signs of the Zodiac
Does it mean possession of material values. Motto: possession, practicality. Aspires to spiritual truth while striving to master material values. Values pleasure, comfort, emotional and material security. Food should bring pleasure, wine should be good, a beloved woman should be beautiful and elegant (and a beloved man too), and art should be pleasing. One should not mind paying for all this. In general, life should be pleasant, beautiful, and secure. Therefore, Taurus tries to be pleasant, polite, thanks to their special charm, they seem natural and make a good impression. But this is only an appearance. In their soul, Taureans are quite skeptical of people; they need guarantees in life. Inside them, there is a kind of fuse, and if their security and sense of comfort are threatened, they burn out like light bulbs. They cannot be provoked, they have very strong nerves and a sense of humor, they often laugh at themselves. But do not dare touch their inner core, then they rage like bulls. Their anger is terrible; there will be no mercy—after all, the anger has been building up for a long time and finally erupted, it cannot be stopped. But you really have to annoy a Taurus for this; generally, they are patient, especially when moving toward their goal.
A Taurus moves toward their goal slowly but surely, though they do not set very high goals for themselves. They are stingy, but on occasion, they may splurge, though they will not let themselves be robbed. In politics, they do not like radical transformations, they reject unrealistic plans as dreams and charlatanism, they highly value traditions and conservatism, as well as practical meaning. Some may consider this stubbornness, while others see it as loyalty to ideals. Their word is their bond; in matters, they are characterized by order, cleanliness, discipline, self-control, and a sense of duty. They never complain, are ready to bear any burden, but expect the same from others. They do not like changing jobs. They work diligently, of course, for good pay, so they can become someone and enjoy life. They take on difficult work that others refuse.
Their professions are the most diverse; they can be related to art and everything that makes life beautiful, pleasant, and comfortable. Taureans prefer real love with all its joys over platonic love. They rarely write letters, preferring to embrace their beloved (favorite) tightly, to perceive them with all their senses. They love clean and neat relationships; harmony begins with appearance. They do not like an unkempt partner or partner in a bathrobe. The main thing is joy, pleasure; the partner should be attainable; princes and fairies are not needed. They usually enter into marriage already knowing the advantages and disadvantages of their partner.
Taureans are jealous, though they can endure for a long time, but if they cannot hold back and explode, do not expect reconciliation. They raise children according to tradition; for them, the example is their own home.
Dangers for Taureans: stubbornness can turn into pigheadedness, an inability to understand others. Prolonged deliberation can lead to missed opportunities, as absolute security is hard to find. It is bad when they cannot restrain their anger, as they completely lose control over themselves. They cannot tolerate others laughing at them; they may jokingly respond with fisticuffs, and then nothing good can be expected.
You are steadfast and patient, capable of incredible devotion, dedication, endurance, and constancy. One of your greatest strengths is the ability to be consistent and not deviate until everything is completed. Having set a plan of action, you stubbornly follow it until the goal is achieved, persistently resisting any attempts to divert you from the intended path. By nature, you are practical; you need to see concrete results of your efforts. You are not one of those who excessively indulge in overly daring dreams with little chance of realization. Most of your “daring dreams” are related to achieving material order, prosperity, and means for tomorrow and, in general, for a rainy day. All this is because you value the material world and strive to enjoy it to the fullest.
Along with a willingness to work long and hard, you also have strongly developed feelings. Surprisingly, you can sometimes succumb to extraordinary laziness, excessively indulge in gastronomic delights, and other earthly pleasures of life. At the same time, you are not very demanding emotionally, though you strongly need physical closeness and shared love. You also have an inner sense of harmony with nature, as a result of which events develop and unfold according to their own schedule.
Your three main flaws. You are stubborn as a bull.
