Taurus is the sign of stability and concrete pleasure: taste, touch, material comfort, deliberate slowness. A planet in Taurus seeks to build something that lasts rather than improvise, and resists hasty change.
As with any sign, this isn't reserved for the Sun: an Ascendant or a Moon in Taurus mark a settled pace or a need for emotional security, with the same underlying patience.
Element: Earth. Modality: Fixed (fixed signs stabilize the season already launched by the cardinal sign before it). Ruler (domicile): Venus. Opposite sign: Scorpio. Natural house: 2 (resources, the value one gives oneself).
The Moon is in exaltation here (around 3°) — a position traditionally judged particularly favorable for the star of emotion and security. No classical planet is in fall here.
