Taurus Overview
Taurus, known as वृषभ (vrishabha) in Sanskrit, is characterized by certain basic traits:
- Sign of the Bull: Taurus natives are hard-working, determined, and have a big heart. However, they may show partiality to their own group and be callous toward outsiders.
- Ruled by Venus: Venus is the planet of sensuality, fine food, the arts, and affairs of the home. Venetian individuals are fond of luxury and living the good life.
- An earth sign: Those with a Taurus moon are grounded, thoughtful, and calm.
- A fixed sign: Persons born under this sign are steady, predictable, and slow to change.
- A feminine sign: This makes Taurus natives receptive, sensitive, and empathetic.
- Taurus’ preferred gemstone is diamond: Taureans can also benefit from white sapphire and white topaz.
Traits of the Sun in Taurus
In Western Astrology, a person's sign is determined by the position of the Sun. If you were born on April 28th, then you’re considered a Taurus according to most people in the Western world. While the influence of the Sun in your birth chart may vary, here are some general traits that are likely to be found in a native whose Sun is in Taurus:
- Talented musician: The sign of Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of the arts. You have a natural talent for music and singing. You may enjoy composing music and performing for others.
- Great endurance: You are a hard worker and capable of bearing a large burden. Your loyalty and affection for the people in your life make you willing to sacrifice yourself for them.
- Few enemies: You have a simple-hearted nature, and others find you easy to get along with. You know how to navigate social interactions, minimizing conflicts whenever possible.
- Good sense of aesthetics: You are naturally artistic and creative. You can excel in fields such as clothing, fashion, design, or any other profession that allows you to express your creativity. If your work doesn't involve your natural talents, maintaining a hobby that fosters creative expression will be beneficial.
- Not interested in water: Typically, those with the Sun in Taurus are not inclined towards water sports, swimming, or living near bodies of water. You are more of a land-loving person.
Taurus Careers
Taureans are reliable and steady workers with a deep affinity for the arts. Your trustworthiness makes you an excellent candidate for roles of responsibility. Here are some recommended careers:
- Teachers, financial advisors, accountants, or bankers: Your reliability and integrity make you well-suited for these positions.
- Farming, animal husbandry, construction, or vehicle maintenance: Your connection to the earth and practical nature make you thrive in these fields.
- Artists, bakers, chefs, or designers: Your fine aesthetic sense and creativity can lead to success in these professions.
On the other hand, you may want to avoid careers that require quick decision-making or constant travel, such as piloting, truck driving, surgery, emergency medical services, or law enforcement.

- ॐ परशुरामय नमः (Om parashuramaya namaha)
- हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे (Hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare Hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare)
