Taurus

The builder — patient, sensual, unshakeable.

Dates: April 20 – May 20 Element: Earth Modality: Fixed Ruler: Venus Polarity: Yin · receptive Symbol: The Bull

Taurus is steady ground in a restless world. Ruled by Venus and rooted in earth, you build beautiful, lasting things with your hands and your patience, and you refuse to be rushed. Comfort, loyalty and the pleasures of the senses matter to you because they're real — you trust what you can touch. Your strength lives in stillness.

Taurus Sun, Moon & Rising

What each of the Big Three means in Taurus.

Taurus Sun Your core self

With your Sun in Taurus, your core self is patient and unwavering. You move slowly and surely toward what you want, and once you commit — to a person, a place, a dream — you don't let go. Your gift is endurance; your lesson is that not everything worth keeping can be held in your hands.

Taurus Moon Your inner world

A Taurus Moon finds emotional security in the tangible — comfort, routine, good food and the steady presence of people you trust. You're slow to rattle and even slower to let go. Calm is your native climate, and you give others a place to land.

Taurus Rising Your first impression

Taurus Rising projects calm stability. People trust you on sight because you seem grounded and unshakeable, and there's a quiet sensual warmth to how you move through the world.
