Ascendant in Taurus
Taurus rising: fixed earth ruled by Venus on the eastern horizon, a calm, steady manner that takes its time with anything new.
Meaning
With Taurus on the Ascendant, the fixed earth of the second sign shapes the body, the bearing and the pace of first reactions. Venus becomes the chart ruler, so comfort, the senses and what someone values colour the whole approach to life.
Taurus rising usually gives you a calm, pleasant and unhurried manner; you do not feel the need to fill silences. You approach new situations cautiously, watching before you commit. At a party where you know nobody, you might settle near the food and let people come to you.
