What Taurus means in Vedic astrology
Taurus is the negative sign of Venus — fixed earth — representing the face and neck of the Cosmic Man. As sign no. 2, it gives a strong sense of relationship, partnership, and communication of feeling. Vrishabha is governed by Shukra (Venus), bestowing a deep affinity for beauty, sensory pleasure, and material comfort. Like the bull — calm when undisturbed, formidable when provoked — Taurus natives are peace-loving by nature but possess a fierce, slow-burning temper when pushed beyond their limit. They process the world through the five senses: taste, touch, smell, sight, and sound all carry great significance. Their key life orientation is accumulation and preservation — of wealth, relationships, comfort, and security. Their mode is to acquire, preserve, and refine.
