♉ Taurus: The Grounded Grower
April 20 – May 20Fixed Earth • Ruled by Venus • Throat, neck, senses
Personality Snapshot
Taurus grows what it tends. The core impulse is to stabilize, savor, and build—to take raw material and make it real. At best: patient, loyal, craft-driven. At worst: stubborn, comfort-stuck, slow to pivot. The art is knowing when to hold, when to harvest, and when to move.
Taurus themes hum in the 2nd house (values, income, self-worth) across from the 8th house (shared resources, trust). Track your Venus aspects—e.g., Venus trine Saturn (commitment to quality), Venus square Uranus (spice vs. stability), or Moon conjunction Venus (security through connection).
