I’m unfashionably late with this article as the Sun already moved to the sign of Taurus on the 20th of April and will stay there till the 21st of May. Taurus season is the time of the year when the Spring settles in, we say goodbye to the cold winter and the days start to become noticeably longer.
Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac following the impulsive, competitive and impatient first sign of Aries. The bull represents a much slower, pragmatic pace. As the fixed Earth sign, it is reserved, grounded, reliable and steady. It is often their life’s purpose is to build something of lasting value.
Taurus is an earth sign ruled by Venus, so Taurean people usually like both physical and financial comfort. They feel at home in the body and the natural world, they love to be in nature, for example doing gardening or hiking. They very much appreciate the simple sensory pleasures in life, such as delicious food, music and arts. Therefore they often chose professions like cooks, bakers, musicians and visual artists.
Financial comfort is an important goal for Taurus as they need to feel safe and money often gives them that sense of safety and control. They have an excellent eye for picking valuable items and might have a tendency to collect them. They have a strong talent for making and managing money and in general for material accumulation.
When the Taurean energies are running high in one’s chart, it can also manifest in possessiveness and in fixation on money, or in a habit to overindulge in sensory pleasures, overeating, overdrinking.
They are slow to anger and often slow to action as well, hence they can come across as lazy and sluggish. But once they are committed to a course of action, they for sure stick with it even at times when others would already have given up or even when it would be actually beneficial to stop. Stubbornness and dislike of change are well known characteristics of this sign, so if you want a Taurus to change their mind, you better prepare for a long term mission.
Taurean people also show strong stability from an emotional point of view. They might be rather slow to develop feelings toward someone and even slower to make their first move (if ever), but once they are committed to someone, that bond is there for a very long time. This reliability and persistence make them the rock of their family, friends and community.
Personally, I have family members with Taurus Sun: my mom, who is an excellent cook (and who feeds anyone who enters the household) and my brother who is a very talented artist capturing animals and nature in drawings and paintings.
If you have any planet in your chart in this sign, it will be expressed in a reserved and grounded way.
