Today, April 19th 2014 the Sun is moving into Taurus. So Happy Birthday to all you Taureans out there! In honor of the Sun's descent into Taurus I wanted to talk about the traits of Taurus and the personality of someone with their Sun in Taurus.

Taurus is the second sign in the zodiac and therefore it represents the second stage of evolution through the signs.  Aries creates an individual identity which Taurus gives form and structure to. Taurus grounds the individual identity in the physical realm and is focused on sustaining and maintaining  it. The Sun represents how we identify with our identity, because of this , Taurus seeks their identity in the material and physical plane. Taureans are usually  lovely people who are grounded and down to earth. Taurus is ruled by Venus. This makes Taureans quite sensual with an appreciation of physical/material pleasures and they love beauty in all it's forms.  Venus's rulership also usually bestows Taureans with a love for being in a relationship. They can make pretty great partners as they have a reputation for being loyal, steadfast and sensual. Taurus is a fixed sign. This gives Taureans a good amount of determination. They will see things through till the end, though they may do so at a leisurely, steady pace. The fixed part of Taurus can also bring out a Taurean's shadow side though, which is stubbornness and inflexibility. They can be 'bull headed' so to speak, which is a fitting term as Taurus's symbol is the bull. Taurus is an earth sign. This is the aspect that makes Taureans so grounded in the physical plane. This earthy side of Taureans motivates them to create physical manifestations of beauty. This could mean various things, some Taureans are artsy or crafty. Others may create a beautiful relationship and home. Others because of the earth influence may create a beautiful garden. In fact some Taureans have a strong connection to nature and appreciation of the beauty of the natural world. Taureans can also be quite productive and practical, making them great employees to have around at times.

Overall Taurus is such a stable, earthy and lovely sign. Taureans will  stick by the side of the one's they love, making such loyal friends and lovers. Taureans show us the beauty of the physical plane and help us appreciate the splendor of the world we live in.
