The Sun in Taurus (2024)

 

Sun in Taurus 

Affirmation: I am determined! 

The Lesson: Finding stability and building security in your life.

Interpretation 

As the Sun makes its annual journey through Taurus, a shift in our collective energy takes place. We find ourselves gravitating towards stability and security. Patience becomes a virtue, and we're less likely to rush into decisions or actions. This introspective nature fosters a desire to build a solid foundation in all aspects of life.

Taurus, ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, also appreciates the finer things. During this transit, we might prioritize financial security to ensure we can enjoy these indulgences. We might become more meticulous with our budgets, saving and investing for the future. This focus on material security doesn't erase the importance of relationships, but it does highlight the desire for stable partnerships that contribute to a secure and comfortable life.

The influence of Taurus brings a newfound determination to pursue our goals. We become more methodical and persistent, chipping away at our objectives with unwavering focus. This persistence can sometimes be interpreted as stubbornness, but it's a sign of the deep commitment Taurus energy ignites within us.

Beyond financial security, Taurus appreciates all the sensual pleasures life offers. We might find ourselves drawn to beautiful art, delicious food, or luxurious experiences. This heightened appreciation for aesthetics can inspire creativity and a desire to surround ourselves with beauty in all its forms.

Overall, the Sun's transit through Taurus marks a period of groundedness, determination, and a focus on building a secure and enjoyable life.

The Sun in Taurus 2020

Sun in Taurus

Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

Sun in Taurus (General)

The Sun shines a light where ever it falls in a chart. When the Sun is in Taurus, people are generally more patient and less inclined to change. Taurus is a fixed sign, so people generally like things to stay the way they are. They are satisfied with the status quo and make the most of what they have.  People are likely to be more practical, more predictable, more jealous, and more materialistic.  

Where Taurus is in your Natal Chart is the areas of life that you want to have and maintain. It's usually something that you like just the way that it is and you don't want anything changing that. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Taurus is your 2nd House. 
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Taurus is your 1st House. 
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Taurus is your 12th House. 
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Taurus is your 11th House. 
• If your rising sign is Leo, Taurus is your 10th House. 
• If your rising sign is Virgo, Taurus is your 9th House. 
• If your rising sign is Libra, Taurus is your 8th House. 
• If your rising sign is Scorpio, Taurus is your 7th House. 
• If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Taurus is your 6th House. 
• If your rising sign is Capricorn, Taurus is your 5th House. 
• If your rising sign is Aquarius, Taurus is your 4th House. 
• If your rising sign is Pisces, Taurus is your 3rd House. 

Example 

The Sun + Taurus + 7th House 

The Sun (I am) in Taurus (I Have) in the 7th house of relationship will manifest as patient, kind, and steadfast feelings or attitudes regarding your relationship. While we are inclined to interpret this in terms or romantic or sexual relationships, the 7th house rules relationships of all kind. With the Sun in Taurus and the 7th house you are satisfied with the state of your relationships and they should be going well. If not, you should see them improve and in the main time you will take a more laid back and passive position in regards to any problems that arise.  You are happy with the state of your relationships and wish to maintain this state of satisfaction. 

Aspects 

Aspects, or relationships between planets, is another dimensions of astrological interpretation that should be considered. For example, let us say that you have Mars at 9° Taurus then that would mean that the Transit Sun is applying a conjunction to Natal Mars. A conjunction is a type of aspect in which the energy or urge of one planet blends with the energy or urge of another planet so that it becomes difficult to tell the two planets apart. Conjunction are neither a soft (easy) nor a hard (difficult) aspect but is actually neutral and can manifest as either easy or difficult depending on the planets.  Let's break down what this actually means. 

Transit Sun + Conjunct + Natal Mars 

I Am + Blends With + I Act 

When the transit Sun makes a conjunction to your natal Mars it gives a boost to your physical energy and you are eager to initiate new projects. In fact, you need to have a physical outlet, such as sex or exercise,  for all this excess energy or it will build up and you can explode (metaphorically speaking) at any moment. You react more quickly now, especially when you feel that you need to either defend or promote yourself in some way.  You should be wary of not letting your ego get too big. 

When the Sun first enters Taurus at 0° two planets are 9° apart but within the 10° orb for a conjunction. As the Sun Moves closer to Mars the stronger the aspect will be felt until it is exact at 9° Taurus and then it will weaken as the Sun passes Mars and moves further away. 

Ruler of the House 

The Ruler of the House is another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be examined. The Sun rules Leo and whatever house Leo occupies in your Natal Chart and this house will influence the house that Taurus occupies in your natal chart. To better understand this you need to ask yourself two questions. They are:

1. What house does the Sun Ruled Leo occupy in your Natal Chart ?
2. What houses does Taurus (Sun in Taurus) occupy in your Natal Chart?

Let us suppose that the Sun is in your 11th House, that would put Taurus in your 7th. It would then be said that the ruler of the 11th house is in the 7th house. What this means is that the activities of 11th house serve the urge or agenda of the 7th house. This could be expressed as "friends, groups, and associations serve marriage, agreements, and contracts."

We can then extrapolate on this statement and say something like "your friends become romantic or business partners. Your friendships have an affect on your relationships (for good or bad). You want your friends to approve of your relationships, or your partner; or you want your partner to approve of your friends and the causes to which you commit yourself."

How will the ingress of the Sun into Taurus manifest for you?
