Taurus is known for their steady dependability, peaceful nature, and determination to pursue and achieve practical goals. The place where Taurus falls in your chart indicates the area of your life where you will be grounded, unflappable, and unshakable.
How To Find Taurus In Your Chart: In your own
birth chart, look for the Taurus symbol in the outer ring, where the numbers on
a clock would go. It's a
circle with a crescent resting on top (see
left), representing the head and horns of the bull. It also looks a bit
like a womb, with the two fallopian tubes branching out. (There's that
fertility thing again. It's getting hot in here...)
Now, notice how your birth
chart is divided into 12 pie pieces, or "houses". The twelve
o'clock position on the wheel corresponds to the tenth house.
(Confusingly, the houses actually begin at 9:00, and progress counter
clockwise, but don't worry about that.)
Taurus at 1:00 (Ninth House): Your philosophy of life is "live and let live". You love travel to beautiful places. You love higher learning, acquiring advanced degrees and taking courses for their own sake, rather than with a specific goal in mind.
Taurus at 2:00 (Eighth House): The ideal lover for you is a Taurus type - charming, calm, sensual. In a long-term relationship, you look for love as well as security.
Taurus at 3:00 (Seventh House): You are quite discriminating in choosing a mate, and extremely loyal once you settle down. Watch that jealousy thing, please.
Taurus at 4:00 (Sixth House): You are practical and conservative in your choice of work. Choose wisely - you must find something that feeds your heart.
Taurus at 5:00 (Fifth House): You are loving but firm with your children. They, like you, will probably be artistically inclined. You're a romantic, and physical affection is important to you.
Taurus at 6:00 (Fourth House): Your home is a quiet, calm, beautiful place, where you draw in deep serenity. You're not a wanderer and don't move often.
Taurus at 7:00 (Third House): You are a careful and deliberate thinker. You're not a chatterbox - when you speak, your words are carefully thought out.
Taurus at 8:00 (Second House): You've
got Taurus in it's natural home. You love beautiful surroundings, and are
steady and measured with money and possessions.
Taurus at 9:00 (First
House): You're a "Taurus
Rising". Your outward, social style is steady, dependable, and
alluring. You've got a healthy dose of practicality, determination, and
unshakable calm - use it!
Taurus at 10:00 (Twelfth House): If true
enlightenment is being fully present, then you're close to attaining it.
But you may have a stubborn streak regarding your blind spots.
Taurus at 11:00 (Eleventh House): Your friends are Taurus types: artistic, relaxed, calm - and the ones who bring the chocolate mousse to pot luck dinners.
Taurus at 12:00 (Tenth House): Taurus is on your "midheaven", the most public point in your chart. You bring determination and steadiness to your career, and may find job fulfillment in financial management, land stewardship, art, or music.
