Taurus Rising Sign

Taurus rising has a sensible, realistic outlook on life. Their two feet are always firmly on the ground (though their heads may also sometimes be in the clouds). They have great endurance and don't like making changes or adjustments to their regular routine.

When they have a purpose, they're extremely fixed, immovable, and bullheaded about it. Their obstinacy can infuriate others, especially since it takes much provocation to get a response from them. Most of the time, they appear calm, unruffled, and unemotional. But behind their easygoing, peaceable appearance lies great strength. Often they win a battle of wills by their ability to outlast others.

They also have a strong need for security. They are most comfortable in stable, relatively unchanging conditions. The other side of their steadiness is their tendency to get caught in a rut and stay in a situation or relationship long after its energy and interest have disappeared.

Taurus rising has a deep appreciation of the natural world and is happy with simple creature comforts. They're naturally very sensual and know how to enjoy themselves.

Compared to other rising signs, fewer famous people have Taurus rising. One reason may be their unwillingness to work through their fears, including their concerns about safety.

Children with this rising sign are beautiful, with an air of sweetness. They can be very charming, exhibiting a sociable, outgoing personality. They tend to need a lot of affection and flourish with frequent expressions of love and undivided attention.

Taurus rising children also need the freedom to do as they please within reason. They like to work hard, even on household chores if they are appealing and allow the child to feel special doing them. But try to force them too often to do what they don't want to do, and they'll rebel.

From early on, these children may be collectors, keeping things that are beautiful to them and give them a sense of feeling grounded. Since Taurus is an earth sign, they do better when they can have regular periods of being close to the earth. Art and theater are good ways to help them develop their artistic talents and release unresolved emotions. Working with metal tools is especially helpful in channeling their creative energy.

Venus, the ruling planet of Taurus rising, contributes heavily to these people's sense of self and how they appear to others. Beauty and harmony are essential to their souls and they tend to have a natural sweet tooth.
