Sun in Taurus
Het Monster: Sun in Taurus I walk through the meadow, Inhaling the scent of herbs, Eating them and enjoying the summer. You shouldn’t rush me: My pace is important to me, Taurus is stubborn. You know this. A satisfied little bullock chewing flowers, just like your little Taurus is usually satisfied, thriving in comfortable conditions. This child cannot have too much affection. His entire nature is very tactile, highly sensitive 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 an early age, surround the child with soothing sounds, beautiful but not harsh colors, soft fabrics, soft, pleasant-to-touch toys. Accept 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 may be a tendency to overeat. Don’t start giving him sweets too early. Instead, 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 “shines” best when given plenty of time and the opportunity to do everything thoroughly and at his own pace. “Don’t try to rush me,” says his symbol. If you do, you’ll find that your little bullock is like a stubborn machine with the brakes permanently on. If the little Taurus slowly trails behind you when you’re in a hurry, scolding doesn’t 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. If you have a free moment, try moving away slowly, telling your little Taurus, “I’m going.” Since this child cannot tolerate a sense of insecurity, he is likely to hurry a little. If that doesn’t work, return to “Plan A”—the tactic of firm but calm strength. Taurus “shines” with patience and perseverance and gains dignity by learning to finish tasks and do them well. He takes great pleasure in neatness and reliability. And he himself is likely to be quite reliable. You will most likely get the best from a Sun in Taurus by trusting this child to do what he sets out to do without worrying or checking on him too often. Remember that his neatness, which exceeds that of an average child, is accompanied by a desire to do the work “just right.” And if the child truly loves any task, he savors every moment and wants to stretch it out. Taurus tries to savor things for longer. Your child will enjoy collecting things; he may easily learn to save part of his pocket money, proud that his savings are growing. He will succeed in arts and crafts such as pottery or weaving. Here, you will likely see the perseverance and interest needed to master playing the piano or another complex musical instrument. You may also find that he enjoys singing and has a good singing voice. Fast competitive sports are not his style; better to choose a sport that requires endurance. Let your Taurus’s own style prevail, and don’t forget affection. You have a reliable child who is grounded, one you can almost always trust: he will do everything right—and in his own time. Don’t rush him!
Indubala. Planets in Signs. (Indian tradition)
Taurus is a sign associated with the earth element. It indicates a practical temperament, an 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, speaking of considerable determination, strength, and stubbornness in character. It can be difficult to deal with such people if they are irritated. In work, they are persevering, though somewhat slow. Since Taurus is ruled by Venus, they are tempted in worldly matters, have a restrained temperament. They tend toward philosophy and act as peacemakers. Venus symbolizes desire, 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, and their activities may be connected to 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, these 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 may excel as 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 Taurus on April 20 and remains in this sign until May 20. The key foundations of Taurus are typical manifestations of the Earth element. This is a feminine, “yin” sign, the 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. Taurus is depicted by the corresponding animal, which stands firmly on the Earth. This is the bull, which seems to emerge from the earth, having a direct connection with it. The Earth gives Taurus strength, on the one hand, the ability to feel firmly on their feet, on the other hand, the Earth rather attracts 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 global statistics, there are many ministers of agriculture among them, a large number of prominent bankers, financiers, and even politicians. This is all because in all matters they are guided by common sense; these are very earthly, practical, sometimes pragmatic people.
If we talk about the negative qualities of Taurus, which the Earth gives them, these are primarily conservatism and a desire for stability. But, on the other hand, conservatism is necessary and beneficial in any serious endeavor. Therefore, if Taurus demonstrates 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, that is, when they have a clear life platform in any form (a strong family, a solid position in society, large material savings, inheritance; as well as the accumulation of intellectual or energetic nature). Taurus constantly gathers everything to function normally. This is a necessary condition of their life. The accumulation itself in a Taurus is neither good nor bad, but natural. The assessment of “good” or “bad” appears when we begin to analyze how Taurus uses what they have accumulated. If they use their savings 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 accumulate something, whether it be wrappers, coins, books, or stamps. Parents should be very attentive to these inclinations of their children so that they do not turn into a quality that corrodes the essence of a person. Sometimes Taurus’s constant need 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 ideas. They definitely need a clearly and distinctly formulated task.
By the way, Taurus people study with great difficulty; knowledge is hard for them to absorb, but once the information enters their mind, it cannot be erased. Material incentives are also important to them in their activities and studies. For example, there is a known case where a person studied poorly at school, then entered a technical college and continued to perform 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 were deprived of their scholarship. As soon as their situation 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 in the right direction. Remember Lenin—he was a Taurus by Sun. He managed to accumulate a huge amount of information throughout his life, thus revealing the highest quality of Taurus, Earth, of strength and accumulation of information.
Taurus people are very patient; they can pursue their goals for a long time. They take off and rush forward so that nothing can stop them until they fulfill their program. This wonderful quality—persistence and the ability to achieve their goals at all costs when it is related to constructive matters and bringing good to people—is inherent in high-minded Taurus. All Taurus people are usually characterized by diligence and perseverance in achieving their goals. Taurus also possesses creative fertility. The most vivid examples are Karl Marx and Honoré de Balzac.
Among the unusual qualities of Taurus, one can note 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 a medium would. Among Taurus, we find seers, mediums, and healers who know how to accumulate natural energy within themselves.
If we talk about the lower manifestation of Taurus, this is a miser, a greedy person from whom you cannot even beg for last year’s snow. This is a Plushkin, who accumulates for the sake of accumulation, who has countless little 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 who live here in some way manifest as Taurus: we endure for a long time, but eventually we explode.
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 a huge number of banks.
The influence of Taurus is reflected in the human body: Taurus men are usually large, grounded types who inspire authority, and Taurus women are one of the most beautiful types: large, beautiful eyes, slightly bulging with a languid gaze, with unusual eyelashes curved upward, and slightly flared nostrils.

April 21 – May 21. TAURUS
Taurus does not like to change habits. Persistence is their virtue, but it is also a flaw: generally calm, they can become terrible when irritated. This is a person who attracts money and things like a magnet. The pile of goods they have collected 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 engage in anything usual until the situation is resolved. They have phenomenal work capacity; it is thanks to 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 “to nature,” to the dacha, to dig in the garden. Their gourmet habits often lead to the formation of a 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 diseases; in cold weather, they should especially keep their necks warm. For the general condition of Taurus, “sexual balance” (a satisfying partner) is important. Women-Taurus may experience painful menstruation. Calcium and juniper are indicated.

The 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 Virgo realm of refinement. 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 where the furniture itself begins. A sense of comfort is very important to him, yet it remarkably extends to his surroundings, both animate and inanimate.
Another important quality of Taurus is its fundamental nature (the zone 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, with which he must somehow relate; 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 adjusting 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) and knows how to value them highly. Once Taurus finally succeeds in adapting to the forms surrounding him and settles among those he particularly loves, he crystallizes in his abundance and identifies so completely with the form that extracting him from it and forcing a significant change becomes very difficult (a constant cross). If in the negative variant Taurus crystallizes in its form, in the positive one, on the contrary, it tends with extraordinary persistence to create (naturally, resonant) forms, not overly concerned with fine details (except for Virgo decanates), but carefully monitoring the overall structure (especially in the Capricorn decanate). This is the sign of artists, sculptors, and scientists engaged in fundamental research.
========================================
Psychologically, Taurus learns and adapts to new environments with some difficulty, and although he possesses many abilities, especially in craftsmanship, skills do not form immediately, but once formed, they are very strong. The same applies to subconscious programs; even Aries cannot refute a confident Taurus. On the other hand, despite Taurus’s apparent obtuseness 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 speaking with (quite refined) Taurus about something intangibly hidden, a person may find that it has taken on quite tangible, almost material forms, and much else in his inner life that was previously shrouded in mystical vagueness has also emerged.
In the crude variant, Taurus notices no difficulties or complications except purely material ones, and his mental and emotional life is adequately modeled by a familiar set of instincts, the primary ones being the instincts of sustenance and sex. As for perception, Taurus often experiences it through purely material forms: smell, touch. A refined Taurus can, through tactile sensation, provide an internal characterization of a stranger or, by scent, determine their moral qualities (I am not exaggerating). An attentive Taurus perceives through seemingly external things—such as gait, hairstyle, manner of greeting, and handshake—such subtle nuances that other signs might miss or require great effort to notice.
A developed Taurus is given the ability to sense the sublime within the dense-material. As a feminine sign, Taurus does not actively seek the form he needs; rather, he passively suffers in its absence, patiently waiting for it to finally appear (the patience of Taurus, especially if not strongly afflicted, is remarkably enduring). But once his interaction with a form he likes begins—in a constructive variant, work with the form—he draws energy, it seems, directly from the form itself. From Aries’ perspective, this is a miracle, as the person works intensively without visible enthusiasm (i.e., without bursts of energy flow). In reality, no other zodiac sign can match Taurus in diligence and productivity; the energy sources of 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’ relationship with form leads to two things: first, he becomes extremely jealous (regarding forms he considers his property), and second, he cannot tolerate outside interference in his affairs (essentially, he perceives his forms as a Persian shah does his harem wives). Combined constructively with Taurus’ stubbornness, this makes him insufferable and antisocial—though some may find this appealing.
The influence of Chiron as the first ruler of Taurus primarily expands 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 structures of human association, etc.) and (in the modern Taurus) as astral and mental forms. The modern Taurus is intuitive; moreover, when he consciously engages in occultism, magic, or (in more modern terms) bioenergetics, psychoanalysis, or hypnosis, those agents previously called astral entities, thought-forms, conspiracies, “hexes,” and so on, 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 is also a reflection of a certain form on the mental plane (thought-forms), he begins to materialize the mental plane and, consequently, significantly amplifies it, gaining a strong channel to the egregore to which he is connected and, accordingly, the ability to directly influence his egregore with his (very material) thought. Through Chiron, Taurus’ materialization extends even to ethical programs. By comprehending the ethics of his higher egregore (the will of God, in outdated terminology), Taurus gains a clear direction for his spiritual development and, with it, the energy to realize his spiritual path (previously called grace). Chiron also makes Taurus a capable psychologist, concretizing many previously vague psychological concepts. Subconscious programs take shape, and the relationships between them become evident.
The second ruler of Taurus is Venus. Venus endows Taurus with aesthetic perception of form at all levels, including thought-forms. Aesthetics largely determines Taurus’ ethics as well. “Good” and “bad” behavior are not metaphors for him but a way of perceiving actions. 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 the lower octave is aesthetically undeveloped but remains 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 detriment in Taurus manifests as a hidden subconscious desire to test any idea or thought by materializing it with his own hands (through the flow of his egregore) and subjecting it to stress. Pluto’s transformative power and disregard for materials (using any material as long as it serves the function) are certainly inherent in Taurus but manifest subtly in the process of form creation, unlike Virgo.
Mars’ detriment in Taurus reveals itself in his general passivity and visible inactivity when not working with forms, coupled with extraordinary energy and activity that awaken in him the forms suited to him—until he is engaged with them. As soon as the forms disappear, he falls back into passivity. An unrefined Taurus cannot be moved from his place except for sensual pleasures—and even then, he (regardless of gender) asks to be joined in them.
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 Taurus of the lower octave, psychic reactions are sluggish, and the psyche as a whole is very conservative, responding only to earthly stimuli (for example, fried potatoes). Yet 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 enhances the obtuseness of the lower-octave Taurus with a characteristic maternal-feminine limitation of perception, while simultaneously endowing the refined Taurus with a great capacity for empathic perception and cosmic love expressed through love of forms.
Uranus’ fall in Taurus manifests as conservatism and an instinctive distrust of anything too new, unexpected, and unprepared by prior historical development, 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 development, tamed Uranus provides original and unexpected solutions in Taurus’ constructive activity of form creation.
The situation of Taurus. Characteristic situations in which Taurus prevails can be divided into two categories: crystallized or dominance of stagnation, and constructive or work on form.
The situation of a crystallized Taurus is the ideal of a bureaucrat: every cricket knows its place, and the workplace serves the person. Another variant: a decent, well-organized birthday party where everyone is “their own,” roles are assigned, and no surprises are possible, with the guiding principle being “we’re sitting comfortably!” Indeed, it can be cozy, but boring. A similar situation arises at certain scientific seminars dealing with polished, well-worn topics.
A constructive situation for Taurus is hard work creating new forms from chaos (less organized matter): for example, 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, Taurus is governed by an aesthetic-practical principle: everything must be harmonious and purposeful. Admittedly, in a Taurus of the lower octave, 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 considered more beautiful the more edible it is, leaving the fly agaric at the bottom of the hierarchy).
————————————————————–
Sun in Taurus presents a person with the following dilemma: either he will work on forms, or they will crystallize him in life, i.e., he will find himself walled up externally and internally. The Sun embodies the imperative command of the egregore, realized through the individual’s will. In this case, the command is diligent, constructive work with forms. The stronger Taurus is afflicted, the greater the resistance he will encounter, but the Sun does not permit retreat—otherwise, an unfinished wall will gradually close in around the person, and he will find himself imprisoned. Taurus, however, should keep in mind that his ruler, Chiron, offers the possibility of practical work at a level of subtlety almost unattainable for other signs, and it is precisely this level that the Sun in Taurus implies.
Frances Sakoian. Planets in the Zodiac Signs
Does it signify possession of material values. Motto: possession, practicality. Strives for spiritual truth while seeking 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. That is why Taurus tries to be pleasant, polite, and charming, creating a natural impression and making a good impression. But this is only an appearance. In their soul, Taurus is quite skeptical of people; they need guarantees in life. Inside, they have 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, and they often laugh at themselves. But do not dare touch their inner core, for 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, and it cannot be stopped. But one must really provoke Taurus to such an extent, as they are generally patient, especially when moving toward their goal.
Taurus moves toward their goal slowly but surely, though they do not set very high goals for themselves. They are stingy, but on occasion of a holiday, they may spend, though they will not let themselves be robbed. In politics, they dislike radical transformations, reject unrealistic plans as dreams and charlatanism, and highly value tradition 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 business, 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 dislike 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 diverse and can be related to art or anything that makes life beautiful, pleasant, and comfortable.
Taurus prefers real love with all its joys over platonic love. They rarely write letters, preferring to embrace their beloved tightly (favorite) and perceive them with all their senses. They love clean and neat relationships; harmony begins with appearance. They dislike an unkempt partner or partner in rags. 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.
Taurus is 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, with their own home as an example.
Dangers for Taurus: persistence can turn into stubbornness, 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, for they completely lose control over themselves. They cannot tolerate being mocked by others; they may jokingly respond with fisticuffs, and then nothing good will come of it.
You are steadfast and patient, capable of incredible devotion, loyalty, endurance, and constancy. One of your greatest strengths is the ability to be consistent and not deviate until everything is completed. Once you set a plan of action, you stubbornly follow it until the goal is achieved, persistently resisting any attempts to divert you from your chosen path. By nature, you are practical; you need to see concrete results of your efforts. You are not the type to indulge in overly bold dreams with little chance of realization. Most of your “overly bold dreams” are related to achievements in the material realm, prosperity, and means for the future or 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, indulge excessively in gastronomic delights, and other earthly pleasures of life. At the same time, you are not demanding in emotional terms, though you strongly need physical closeness and shared love. You also have an inner sense of harmony with nature, resulting in events unfolding according to their own schedule.
“Experts.” You have three main flaws. You are stubborn as a mule.
