The natives born in Taurus (Vrishabh) zodiac signs have their sign lord as the planet, Venus. Moon is exalted in Taurus (3° Taurus to be specific), and Moon is also in Moolatrikona in Taurus at 4°20’. Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac which ranges between 30° and 60° of the entire zodiac circles. Known as “Vrishabha” in Sanskrit, Taurus comprises of the Earth element, the Vata dosha, the Rajasic Guna, is a Fixed (Sthir) sign and is symbolized by the Bull or the Ox (Nandi).
Taurus as a zodiac sign represents creative potential or creativity – it could be either a sensual union, procreation or a way of nurturing things. Symbolized by the Nandi Bull, the steed of Lord Shiva, Taurus is considered lucky to obtain children. Taurean energy is feminine energy and always needs a bull’s energy to make the union fruitful.
Taurean Lagna natives are often lazy in nature but are mostly action-oriented and their desires predominate their karma in terms of either being materialistic or be it their physical needs. Because Venus (their Lagna Lord) is a very sensuous planet, Taurus natives love the finer things in life – food, money, sensuality, art, music, and beauty. Taurus natives like permanence (because it is a Sthir/Fixed sign) and comfort. Being a fixed sign, and because Moon is exalted in Taurus, the Taurus natives like to be hardworking, patient, diligent, and trustworthy. However, because of their allegiance to being comfortable, Taurus natives can sometimes be very stubborn, unwilling to change themselves, and can find it difficult to compromise on anything. They don’t get angry easily but once they do, they could stay angry for a longer time.
Because of their ruling lord Venus, Taurus natives can be extremely good-looking, don’t speak a lot, very practical, and very sensuous. They generally have a calm nature and being the first earth sign, they could also be rigid sometimes. Like mentioned before, Taurus natives resist any changes and don’t get disturbed easily. The Taurus natives are determined and don’t give up easily, either in professional life or in relationships. Physically, Taurus natives have a sturdy appearance with a broad face.
As a result of the earthy nature of a Taurus native, they are very caring for their families and relatives. But the success of relationships also depends upon the placement of Mars and Mercury. For marriages, such natives should have a well-placed Mars (because the 7th house of relationships and marriage is occupied by the Scorpio sign for Taureans) else their married lives could be difficult despite their benevolent nature.
Mercury is their “Maraka” planet (lord of 2nd house) along with Mars (lord of the 7th house) and hence, placement of Mercury is also important for the overall success of Taurus natives. If Mercury is having a bad placement (e.g., in the 8th house ruled by Mercury’s enemy sign), then such natives could face problems in health and may give a weak constitution to the Taurus native. Suitable professions for a Taurus native could include careers related to arts and cinema, music, dance, photography, selling alcohol, etc. Some famous movie stars belong to this zodiac.
