Natal Sun in Taurus - Your Astro Codex

When a person has his natal Sun in Taurus, it means that he belongs to the zodiac sign of Taurus. Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac, and has beneficial Venus as its ruling planet. The period of Taurus starts on the 21st of April and lasts until the 21st of May. Slight differences in the exact hours can occur because we should not forget that every fourth year has one day more than the others. The Sun is the brightest object in the sky, the life-giving star of our Solar System, and also the most important celestial body in astrology. Also called Sol, the Sun is impersonated by the ancient Greek goddess Helios.

Solar Taurus tend to be strong, calm, aware, practical, demanding, determined, persistent, tenacious, compassionate, and dedicated. They love to do the work with their hands, building something and seeing tangible and practical results from their efforts. Routine work does not bother them as long as there is a result and it serves some specific purpose. Property and material values usually play a significant role in the life of Taurus.

This happens due to emotional insecurity, when it is impossible to see and touch the objects that belong to them. The strongest need for possession and the enjoyment of those feelings that arise at the same time lead to the fact that Taurus becomes either extremely productive or extremely self-serving. To a lesser extent, Taurus cares about people as if they were their own property – this leads to difficulties in relationships. Taurus are people who work a little slower than most, but at the same time always bring everything to the end, no matter what they start. This makes them reliable, decent, attentive and unshakable. People of this sign will rather support what others have started than undertake something themselves.

They can be led, but never pushed. It takes an incredible amount of effort to get the Taurus out of himself, but if their patience goes over the edge, they come into a rage and no one is able to stop them. Just imagine an angry bull and you will know what Taurus is capable of when he goes too far. Everyone knows proverbs and sayings about an angry bull, so Taurus needs a lot of time to cool down. You will understand when the situation gets out of their control. The best way to calm them down is to just leave them alone. No matter what happens, Taurus needs time to absorb and think about some things. Don’t rush or pressure them. Taurus are slow to change their beliefs, but once changed it is very difficult to get them back.

People tend to feel safe around Taurus. In times of crisis, they tend to be cool and collected, while showing patience and the ability to work out practical solutions to a problem. Taurus people hate being sick and being in pain. Taurus has a love of beauty and harmony, they can be very emotional, but along with this there is a strong fear of loss. Ownership, jealousy, laziness, stubbornness and extravagance are the feelings that usually accompany this fear, while it is absent if Taurus does not have a desire to possess something or someone. Taurus needs to learn how to develop mental and spiritual abilities and let go of the desire to possess a person emotionally and physically. They must also discover true values and learn detachment. Taurus must be able to let go of people and material things.

Every time you cross paths with someone from Taurus, the world slows down, but for the better. They manage their times, or rather they don’t manage them, they suppress them. This Venus sign does not like to be rushed. But it is not just any slowness, but an aesthetic, sensual, earthly slowness. It is that the Taurus are not so interested in being the first (as is the case with Aries), rather they prefer exclusivity, possession, security. In fact, its sign is analogous to the astrological house 2, that is, the house that governs personal property, private property, profits, money. Not in vain on Wall Street, the world financial center, they chose the bull as their representative animal.

Much of Taurus is due to its ruling planet, Venus, and above all to the earth element in a fixed mode. Venus is the planet of love, beauty, comfort, convenience, luxuries, money. The earth reinforces the more carnal, materialistic and empirical side, which is why bullfights are sophisticated foodies, bon vivants and they know better than anyone how to enjoy pleasures. The fixed modality also gives them a cumulative energy, which tends to solidify everything around them: things, people, moments. For Taurus, possessing is essential, a need that often works against them, making them selfish and stingy. Due to this desire for stability and imperturbability, they build daily routines in their lives with tenacious industriousness. Of course, sensual, peaceful and almost always opulent routines.

Few signs respect beauty as much as Taurus, which is why among bullfights we find from the most famous artists (Da Vinci, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Dalí) to those people who are dedicated to the industry of pleasure and enjoyment, such such as chefs and sommeliers, actors, designers and models (Audrey Hepburn, Penelope Cruz, Christian Lacroix, Laetitia Casta). As this sign governs the neck, throat and voice, many of its natives are renowned singers: this is the case of Laura Pausini, Barbara Streisand, Ella Fitzgerald, Adele, Joe Cocker, Billy Joel, Iggy Pop, among others.

There is something nourishing in people with the Sun, ascendant or Moon in Taurus (which is exalted in this sign) because of its affinity with lunar qualities. There is an abundance of Taurine (as opposed to the Scorpio lack) that makes them instinctively maternal, giving comfort, food, protection and security to their loved ones. We know the symbolic value of analogies in astrology, so let’s remember that everything dairy is associated with the Moon and cows are especially its suppliers.

The famous stubbornness of Taurus is due, on the one hand, to the fixity of the land and, on the other, to the meaning of the word value, not in economic terms, but rather in convictions which represents the second house, corresponding to its sign. In a broader sense, in the zodiacal cycle Taurus precedes Gemini, a sign that will embody duality, mercurial polarity, doubt as a way of knowing, ambivalence and the fusion of opposites. However, solid and intellectually consistent philosophers such as Kierkegaard, Kant, Russell and Wittgenstein were born under the Taurus Sun. Precisely the proximity between these two signs means that many Taurus have planets in Gemini, which gives a combination of realism and concept, persistence and dynamism (for example, Kant, with the ruler of his Sun, Venus, in Gemini and a good part of his house 1 in the sign of the twins).

Somewhat conservative and dogmatic, Taurus are usually peaceful, kind and considerate, but above all they stand out for their nobility and loyalty. With Taurus we learn the value of durable and stable things. Together with them we have the impression that the universe would be a better place if we celebrated more the simple, good and pleasant things in life: an aroma, a color, a musical note, a particular flavor.
