Sun in Taurus

The Sun in Taurus builds an identity out of what lasts. Purpose is found in making, keeping and enjoying — the garden, the craft, the savings, the long friendship. Steadiness is the gift and stubbornness its cost; a Taurus Sun decides slowly and then does not move. The senses matter: this is a self that knows what it likes and is not embarrassed to want it. The work is to tell the difference between security and standing still.

In plain words

The Sun stands for your sense of who you are. In Taurus, that works in a Taurus way: steady, comfortable and stubborn. You take your time, and once you settle you do not budge.
