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.
