Core traits
People with Taurus placements are often described as grounded, patient, and sensual — though a full birth chart always tells a fuller story than the Sun sign alone.

- Patient
- Sensual
What do these mean?
- Element
- In astrology, an element (Fire, Earth, Air, or Water) describes a sign's basic temperament — how it tends to react to and process the world.
- Ruling planet
- The ruling planet is the graha traditionally considered to govern a sign, shaping the themes and energy most associated with it.
- Gemstone
- A gemstone here refers to the stone traditionally associated with a sign's ruling planet — worn by some as a personal or cultural practice, not a medical claim.
- House
- House refers to this sign's natural position in the chart's twelve-house wheel — sign 1 sits in house 1, and so on around the circle.
