Vrishabha (Taurus)

Vrishabha (Taurus) rising

With Vrishabha rising you are solidly built and of middle height, with a thick strong neck, broad shoulders and forehead, bright eyes and a clear complexion. Shukra (Venus) rules your lagna and the sign is fixed earth: you are patient, steady and persevering, slow to decide and almost impossible to move once decided, and you carry a plan through opposition to the end. You love comfort, good food (sweets especially), music, gardens and beautiful things, and you know the value of money: you save, keep a reserve and distrust promises of money to come. You rarely lose your temper, but when you do it comes like an earthquake and you are slow to forgive. You are loyal to the people you love, and life rewards the long, careful build.

The Moon in Vrishabha (Taurus)

Chandra is exalted in Vrishabha, its best place: the mind is calm, steady and contented, with a deep love of comfort, music and beauty and a sure feel for money. You are hard to ruffle, sound in judgement and loyal in feeling; what to watch is holding on too long to things, habits and old hurts.

The Sun in Vrishabha (Taurus)

Surya in Vrishabha, in Shukra's sign: the will is steady and practical, and standing comes through patient building and wealth rather than display; seniors come to respect your consistency.
