Overview
A steady, sensual and patient sign. Taurus Moon is linked to comfort, loyalty, beauty and a love of stability. In Vedic astrology Taurus is ruled by Venus, is a earth and fixed sign, and traditionally harmonises well with Virgo and Capricorn.
Element & quality
Taurus is a earth sign, associated in tradition with steadiness, patience and practicality, and a fixed sign — “fixed” (sthira) — tradition links it to stability, focus and seeing things through. These are broad traditional categories for the sign itself, not a description of any one person.
Ruling planet
Taurus is ruled by Venus, which in a Vedic chart represents your love, relationships and sense of beauty. Where the Moon sits in your own chart, and the planets around it, matter far more than the sign alone — this page describes only the sign in general.
How to use this
Think of your Raasi as one broad brushstroke, useful for learning the tradition and for everyday almanac timing — not a forecast of your life. Two people with the same Moon sign can be nothing alike. Take what feels useful as a gentle lens, and leave the rest.
