Taurus Ascendant people tend to reflect the quality of Venus, with Venus itself being inauspicious for Tauruses. However, due to Capricorn ruling over the 9th house of Dharma, Saturn becomes a highly auspicious protector for the Taurus Lagna (ascendant) native. Furthermore, the Sun is auspicious for Taurus, as the rays of the Sun and Taurus parallel Apollo and his golden horde. The Sun lords over the ways in which Venusian energy can be expressed, as it dictates the rules and gives Venus the luster that it deserves, while keeping Venusian energy from over-expressingVenus and Mercury which are both somewhat auspicious and inauspicious in this sign, are found to be more settled with the Sun, and not able to tap in to their dark sides. Illumination in the Kaal Purush (the always human), in terms of the Sun/Moon in the 1H and the 2H show the fact Aries and Taurus are naturally associated with the eyes, and with Taurus being the 2H eyes, it is associated with the “eye” for beauty and the light of the Sun creates said beauty. This way, the eyes help capture the beauty and essence that Venus, the ruler of the chart craves, and it also shows how photons are trapped by the eyes, and spheroidized (Venus is the natural ruler of inner spherical energy). Venus combust will help derail the overactive and indulgence that the Taurus ascendant might be doing inadvertently.
The Sun's movement into Taurus or Aries at the beginning of spring will be a great time for the Taurus Lagna individual to effectively understand the uses of discipline and how to address it. Focusing on activities pertaining to the Sun will be very important for the Taurean individual, and can help delineate their life. Working on Surya worship in the morning, or Yoga in the morning will be very important. Following and focusing on one's life through the Sun orbiting certain houses will help rectify their soul and align their soul with the objectives they want to achieve. Items that make the heat rise up in the body, such as spices and those that will activate the Taurean individual. As the Sun is in Capricorn it is transiting the 8th house currently, meaning a lack of activity will be indicated and a Kapha-esque disposition of laziness, as well as sicknesses of phlegm.
Sun and Saturn are seen as the axis of law, order and government. With Saturn being in Dhanishta, ruled by the Vasyus who also lord and make the first ray of the Sun in the Vedas, representing the Muladhara and Root Chakra illuminated, the connection is amplified this year. The cold season here, represented by Saturn, is allowing for the blooming of some sort of ritual practice that will be more abundant later on. Picture how plant societies and ecosystems rebuild after a fire, like the fire of Aries. They usually start out by colonizing a very hard area, with very small risk plants and mosses. This is how one should approach the twilight of Dhanishta in this time - smaller roots sprinkled at this time, that will turn into abundant growth for them in the near future. Since Saturn is in the 9th house, it is in the most exalted house. In the 9th house connected with Saturn, the worship of the ashes and therefore of Shiva will become more and more important in this time, therefore the fire will become important for the Taurean individual. Saturn is associated with ashes, and the 9th house is naturally the worship, and therefore, the afterimage of the Agni rituals, fire-making/ and so on and so forth "adorn" the person to show their hard work. By owning up to things that they develop from such sacrifice and discipline, on a metaphysical level, offering things to their higher ideals , when Saturn will enter the 10th house, it will end up making the sacrifice of discipline in the 9th house worth it. Furthermore, this might also activate their 4th house where it will make them very harsh with their maternal family. Debts and misery that comes from some sort of a loss of relative might be indicated before Jupiter comes into the picture.
For the Taurus ascendants, Jupiter is in the 10th house, therefore bringing great amounts of wealth to them, even with the risk of losing it to a lack of discipline. Jupiter is a malefic, even a killer, to Taurus ascendants due to the fact that Jupiter can afflict the Rajasic energy where it burdens them to expand too much without disciplining and holding back, creating problems. Jupiter's commitments to celibacy and leaving desires behind is very prominent in how Jupiter expresses itself. This can counteract with the Taurean need to express a sensuality and silkiness in parts of their life, combining and almost "sacralizing" hylic and material things. Taurus is the sign of Mrigashira, Rohini and Krittika, all involved with the purification ritual as well as Soma, wherein the essences that come from Earth are given to Heaven. Jupiter therefore obstructs much of that, and it might trigger a fatal Machiavellian mindset in the individual. In the early phase, this person might feel a surge of fame coming from their good work and consumption at this time. They might feel like what they are doing is bringing them a great bounty. One might feel, in this early time for Taurus ascendants where in the first half of the year, they might feel a fleeting sense of fame. With Jupiter aspecting their 4th house, they might feel some difficult home situation might have subsided, especially as Saturn and Jupiter trade-off. However, with Jupiter entering their 11th house, there will be more trials and tribulations for an individual at this time to deal with, BUT there will be even more wealth and health guaranteed to the individual if they keep with the disciplinary energy they bring.
By shining the light into their 5th house, which is Virgo, Jupiter’s 11th house transit can be the time to unlock the abundance that is oft promised to the luxurious ascendant. However, one must fix their phlegmatic and issues with laziness and general injury. This does not mean that the Taurus rising individual is necessarily lazy, but there could be physical and mental roadblocks to them in terms of self-care and depressive episodes. Crafting schedules and being careful will help a lot for these individuals.
