The Taurus Character
The Second Sign of the Zodiac
by Rebecca Brents

Want some words to describe Taurus? How about "laid back" and "easy going?" Taurus likes to mellow out, take life at a measured stride and on its own time schedule. What can I say? Taurus believes in conserving physical resources ... and "conserving" its own energy is first on the list.

Venus - Ruler of Taurus
Symbol of Your Financial Self
by Rebecca Brents

Venus, shrouded in clouds when photographed, named for the mythological goddess of love, often seen as the evening star, sometimes mistaken for a UFO ... they say. This is the astrological metaphor which symbolizes an individual's social self, his need and capacity to form relationships, the feminine side of his romantic soul -- and, therefore, descriptive of the kind of love he both offers and wants to receive.

Taurus Rising
If You Have a Taurus Ascendant
by Rebecca Brents

With Taurus Rising in your Natal Chart, you are patient and enduring in your approach to life. You have a calm, stable temperament and a practical, conservative disposition. You come across as someone with a strong need for material and emotional security. Thus the personal qualities you show the world tell others you are reserved, sincere, loyal and trustworthy.

The Transiting Sun in Taurus
Supporting what You've Begun
by Rebecca Brents

The Sun represents your ego, your basic sense of who you are. In Astrology, the Sun symbolizes your self-image and your self-identity. Your Sun Sign, obviously, tells what sign the Sun was traveling through on the day you were born. The Sun in the sky, however, travels through all twelve signs of the Zodiac in the course of a year.
