Taurus is a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus, so this is a sign that Venus is comfortable in and feels at home. Venus in Taurus can see us approaching relationships and life in a warm, earthy, and sensual manner. The fixed nature of Taurus gives this Venus position loyalty and steadfastness when it comes to relationships, and values in general.
Venus is related to our affections and our value system. Venus is concerned with harmony, balance, and aesthetics but will not necessarily be walked over. Venus can be quite discriminating. Venus is as much about what attracts us as it is about what doesn’t attract us.
In Roman mythology, Venus was the goddess of love, beauty, fertility, and victory. Her Greek counterpart was Aphrodite. Aphrodite is said to have sprung fully formed after Chronos (Saturn) castrated his father Ouranos (Uranus) and threw the genitals into the sea.
Venus is known as the lesser benefic (considered a lucky planet), particularly for those with a night birth chart (born after sunset but before sunrise). Therefore, when Venus is in Taurus, the part of your natal chart that has Taurus in it may be luckier, or you may receive gifts related to the topics of those astrological houses.
