Firmly rooted, calm and focused, Taurus is the most grounded zodiac sign. If your Sun is in Taurus, you are meant to explore the physical world and be a safe harbor for people.
In this article, you can read about the meaning of the Sun in Taurus. Understanding the Sun is really important as it reveals your core motivations and desires, who you really are in life. It is usually more expressed in adulthood (at a young age, the ascendant is more pronounced). It is fairly common that people don’t resonate with their Sun sign until their late twenties.
When analyzing your Sun, keep in mind that how the rest of the chart interacts with this luminary is just as influential as the sign of the Sun. Planets that form an aspect to it color how it works. Let’s say you are a Taurus with your Sun conjunct Mars: this suggests that you are way more impatient and fiery than you’d expect the average Bull to be. The house of the Sun also matters.
People with this Sun sign are strongly connected to the physical world. They have refined senses and they are extremely receptive to the world around them: the colors, sounds, smells, textures. Beauty and peace are your definition of unalloyed happiness. No matter where you go, you are never indifferent to your environment.
Sun in Taurus Natal Meaning
You have your natal Sun in Taurus if you were born between the 20th of April and 21st of May. If you were born on one of these days, you should calculate your chart to find the exact degree of the Sun in your birth chart.
The Sun in Taurus suggests a straightforward personality, in the best sense of the word. What you see is what you get. Although fancy things bring a lot of joy to a Taurus, they don’t need them to be content. As long as you feel safe and secure in life, you are able to notice beauty everywhere around you.
You have a very strong need for security. Ideally, you are able to find this in yourself, knowing that you’ll always have your own back. However, you may also seek it in things outside of you when stressed: overattachment to money, excitement, food, anything else. The temptation to run away from yourself can be strong.
Sun in Taurus people are very sensual. They love and need an aesthetic environment. Some Taurus are drawn to luxury, some would never spend money on such vanity, but they both find joy in owning, the first type the object and the second type the savings account.
You are at your best when you are in an environment that caters to your senses.
The Sun in Taurus is the most aligned when it has something to work on, related to the material world, that gives it structure and a sense of purpose.

The Sun in Astrology
To 99% of people, their Sun sign is known. The Sun is a central planet in astrology, and it is the best known astrological idea. When someone says that they are a Taurus, they mean that the Sun was transiting the sign of Taurus at the minute of their birth.
In short, the Sun is who you are. Mercury is how you express yourself and think, Venus is what you enjoy, but the Sun is who you truly are, the core of your personality.
People represented by the Sun in astrology: you (the chart owner), the father, husband in a woman’s chart/you as a husband, bosses, leaders. The Sun has very masculine energy. Traditionally, it is associated with people who have some kind of authority.
The Sun is in a neutral position in Taurus. This means that it is not particularly easy for the Sun in Taurus to operate but not particularly hard either.
Taurus in the Zodiac
Taurus is the second sign of the Zodiac. It comes after Aries, the sign of pioneering, hot-headedness, willpower, the desire to pursue a goal. Taurus is, however, quite different. It doesn’t have the crazy drive of Aries, it wants something different: to build, enjoy what you already have, take good care of it, and have peace.
Taurus is a fixed sign by modality and an earth sign by element. Because of this, it is the densest sign of the Zodiac. It comes with a huge inertia: it’s hard for you to get started, but once you are on track, it’s almost impossible to stop you.
Venus is the planetary ruler of Taurus. The position of Venus adds more detail to your Sun interpretation.
