"Impact of Ascending Signs : Taurus"

LUCKY STONE: Ruby

LUCKY NUMBER: 5

Taurus is an earthy sign ruled by Venus, the significator for pleasures, materialistic pursuits and comforts. The Moon, the significator for caring, tenderness and affluence, is exalted in this sign. Ketu, the significator of spiritual pursuits, is debilitated in this sign. These factors render the Taurus born people materialistic, motherly and sensual, enjoying comfort, beauty and luxury around them, being convinced that in all circumstances they are correct. If Taurus rises as the ascendant, the Ishta Devata would be Lord Vishnu. This sign rules face and its organs (nose, throat, mouth, teeth and eyes), neck, cervical region and bones, cerebellum and facial bones. If Venus, as lord of the sixth house, is strong the Taurus born people enjoy good health. Otherwise, they have a sickly constitution, suffer from poor digestion, disorders of the throat, eyes, teeth, etc., and diseases mainly arising out of a weak venous system. Over-indulgence can be a cause for ill health.

Taurus is a fixed, negative, rajasic, vata, female, mild, semi-fruitful and quadruped sign and has a precise and temperate nature. Depending on the influences on the ascendant, the sign Taurus usually renders their natives cautious, prudent, stable, enduring, fixed in their ways, adaptable and gentle, becoming good planners, good communicators, analytical, straightforward, persevering, refined, attractive, patient, romantic, kind, sentimental, devotional and charming or forceful, possessive, jealous, stubborn, obstinate, resentful, passionate, lethargic and pleasure seekers. Taurus born people are generally peace and fun lovers and are generally involved in material pursuits if the Sun is weak. Enjoying to the fullest extent is the aim of their life. They are analytical in approach, as the fifth house is ruled by Mercury. The fourth house, signifying inclinations, ruled by the planet Sun, determines their approach in life. The sign Aquarius falling in the tenth house makes these people technical and, if other planets are strong, the native may pursue an engineering course.

Apart from Rahu and Ketu, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars also become functional malefic planets. The Moon, the Sun, Mercury and Saturn are functional benefic planets for the Taurus born people. The Moon acts as a Sun-like planet. The first rate natural benefic planets, Venus and Jupiter, turn first rate functional malefic planets, causing sufferings whenever they form close transit or natal conjunctions/aspects with weak natal/transit positions. As this is true for the three possible combinations of transit influence i.e. transit over natal, transit over transit, and natal over transit, the occurrence of good or bad events in life is comparatively more. Taurus born people suffer/enjoy from both short-lived and long-lived events in life. The transit Moon, the Sun and Mercury give rise to frequent and affluent happy events, while Saturn gives rise to long-lived happy events. Similarly, transit Mars and Venus causeshort-lived sufferings while transit Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu cause long-lived tragic events. If Mars is placed closely to the most effective point of the first, second, fourth, seventh, eighth or twelfth house and the lord of the house where Mars is posited is weak, the close Manglik yoga shows its impact as mooltrikona sign of Mars falls in the twelfth house. Saturn's transit is not inauspicious in any of the benefic houses as Saturn is a yogakaraka planet for the Taurus ascendant. Rather, whenever transit/natal Saturn forms close conjunction/aspect with any strong natal/transit functional benefic planet or most effective point of a benefic house, it triggers a happy incident/event signified by the house of such a conjunction/aspect, the functional benefic planet involved and its respective mooltrikona house. The placement of the sign Libra in the house of diseases cause sufferings by diseases signified by the planet Venus, the sign Libra and the seventh house if Venus is weak. These are more apparent when weak Venus is closely afflicted by functional malefic planets, Mars, Jupiter, Rahu or Ketu. Since Mercury is weak quite often, it makes the person less confident, nervous and causes sufferings on account of progeny matters. Taurus born people, however, tend to forget the unhappy incidents in their life early, because of their general nature. As Venus is a functional malefic and the chances of its forming close conjunction with the Sun and Mercury are more, the marital harmony and progeny matters of the Taurus born people are disturbed if the Sun and Mercury are very weak in the birth chart. Many Taurus natives born in the last quarter of the year, around sunset time, are the worst affected in their marital harmonious relations and progeny matters. Such placement of the planets is also inauspicious for the parents. Those born at noon time, between middle of October to middle of November, face rough weather in their professional matters.

Although the scenario is dependent upon the overall configurations of the chart and operating major periods of planets, the strength of individual planets does signify trends in life to a large extent. A strong Sun works as an asset. The Sun, whose mooltrikona sign falls in the fourth house, is an anchor sheet of life for the Taurus born people because the fourth house has dynamic configurations. In infancy, it rules in particular the happiness from mother. In childhood, it rules education. In the grown-up stage of life, it rules assets, marital harmony, status, position with government organizations, vehicles and comforts in life. This even makes up for other non-serious weaknesses of other planets. A strong Sun, being lord of the fourth house of Taurus born people, blesses the dynamic configurations of the fourth house with affluence, while a weak and/or afflicted Sun ruins/disturbs the significations of the fourth house in particular. A strong Moon gives rise to many initiatives and the person is always aspiring/achieving a happy change. Similarly, strong Mercury makes a Taurus-born native highly analytical and inventive. A strong and unafflicting Venus blesses Taurus born people with sound financial position, good health and protection against losses through theft, fire and cheating. A strong and unafflicting Jupiter blesses Taurus born people with easy gains in life, inheritance, interest in mystical sciences and a long life. A strong Saturn blesses the native with persistence and ensures success. A strong and unafflicting Mars blesses Taurus born people with comforts, mental peace and life in foreign lands. In the case of matters signified by houses containing non-mooltrikona signs of planets, suffering and/or tragic happenings only take place if one or several of the functional malefic planets, Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Rahu and/or Ketu, exert their close influence on the most effective points of the said houses, and the significators of these houses are weak.

An exalted and otherwise “strong” Sun with strong Mars blesses Taurus born people with governmental authority and residences abroad. An exalted and strong Moon blesses them with good communicative power, public relations and status with government if the Sun is strong in the nativity. Exalted, strong and unafflicting Mars blesses them with comforts in life and mental peace. An exalted and strong Mercury blesses them with sharp intellect, happiness through children and gains through investments. Exalted, strong and unafflicting Jupiter blesses them with good inheritance, easy gains and state authority if the Sun is also strong. Exalted, strong and unafflicting Venus blesses them with good health, financial gains, comforts, power to conquer enemies and early marriage if the Sun, too, is strong. An exalted and otherwise “strong” Saturn with strong Venus blesses them with power to deal with challenges of life successfully. Similarly, are to be read the results of the planets when they are in their signs of debilitation causing deterioration in the aspects signified by the weak planets. However, the significations likely to be promoted when the planets are exalted get a setback when the concerned planets are weak.

Close conjunction/aspect of functional malefic planet, Venus, with weak natal positions generates disputes for the significations ruled by those weak and afflicted natal planets/houses. Close conjunction/aspect of functional malefic planet, Mars, with weak natal positions generates losses and expenses connected with those weak and afflicted natal positions. Jupiter’s close conjunction/aspect with weak natal positions cause obstructions, accidents and violent end to the significations ruled by the weak and afflicted natal positions. The close conjunction/aspect of Venus and Jupiter makes one vulnerable to serious health problems and losses through conflicts and litigations. The close conjunction/aspect of Venus and Mars makes one vulnerable to serious health problems and financial losses. The close conjunction/aspect of Jupiter and Mars makes one vulnerable to loss of inheritance, accidents and curtails the longevity of both the father and the native. The close affliction of Jupiter to the Sun spoils marital happiness and gives setbacks to parents. The close affliction of Jupiter to the Moon gives severe business losses. The close affliction of Jupiter to Mercury causes progeny problems and financial losses through risky investments and speculation. The close affliction of Jupiter to Saturn causes persistent professional setbacks. The close conjunction/aspect of Jupiter and Rahu or Ketu makes the person vulnerable to accidents, malfunctioning of liver, relationships out of marital bond, sexually transmitted diseases, gambling tendencies and loss of ancestral wealth.

Favorable colors

White, silver, pink, orange, golden, green, black, brown, and blackish blue.

Favorable Gems

Pearl, ruby, emerald and blue sapphire.

Unfavorable colors

Red, sky-blue, variegated colors, yellow, steel and smoke grey, dull colors and dull coffee color.

Unfavorable Gems

Red coral, yellow sapphire, diamond, gomedh (hessonite) and lasonia (cat's eye)

Weak and afflicted Effects Planets

SUN    Trouble to parents, loss of and comforts, loss of education.

MOON    Lack of initiative and courage, difficulty in communicating, and     retarded growth.

MARS    Troubled marital life.

MARS & JUPITER     Short life span.

JUPITER      Troubled and short span of marital life

VENUS        Diseased physical health.

MERCURY  Unhappiness on account of progeny, nervousness and losses in speculation.

SATURN    Ordinary profession and obstructions.

Depending upon the strength of Saturn being prime determinant for profession, the Sun ruling education and being general significator for success in profession and the Moon ruling entrepreneurial nature, Taurus born people become businessmen, designers, engineers, technocrats, administrators, industrialists, house keeping, etc. The influence of other planets on the tenth, first or second houses changes the professional pursuits.

Every year during the months of October and November when transit Mercury, Venus and the Sun generally transit the sign Libra the native becomes vulnerable to health problems, disputes and financial constraints. Similarly, the transit planets in Sagittarius cause obstructions while the transit planets in the sign Aries cause additional expenses and problems in journeys/distant places.

When the slow moving planets Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu transit in the sign Libra, they make the persons born in Taurus ascendant vulnerable to health problems, disputes, accidents and setbacks. When these slow moving planets transit in the sign Sagittarius they cause setbacks, problems in job, obstructions and difficulties to father and the sources of income. When these slow moving planets transit in the sign Aries they may cause loss of income, additional expenses, problems with law, problems to father, job problems and setbacks. In such situations one should strengthen Saturn and continuously propitiate Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu.

With this background in view, we shall now take up a few case studies for further understanding.

Birth 8th Aug.,1966, 0120 Hrs.(Click to See Chart)
The Sun is close to the most effective point of the third house but is weak due to weakness of its dispositor. The happiness, assets, education and general happiness of life is connected with the self-efforts of the native as the Sun is on the most effective point of the third house. The weakness of the Moon, however, makes the self-efforts less rewarding. Saturn, ruling the house of profession and fame, is strong in the chart. The functional malefic planets Venus, Mars and Jupiter are closely conjunct in the second house. They combine the impact of diseases, death/accidents and losses in the family. All these three functional malefic planets are closely aspected by Ketu from the sixth house. During the main period of Venus, there had been many unhappy events in the life of the family. During the sub-period of Rahu, the native's father suffered from a paralytic attack. The following sub-period of Jupiter could not help, as its nature for the nativity is also malefic. The fifth lord, Mercury, even though being exalted in navamsa, is weak and does not form close conjunction with the most effective point of the third house in the rasi chart. Similarly, Saturn is also quite away from the most effective point of the eleventh house. That is why the benefic contribution of both Saturn and Mercury was restricted. However, placement of Mercury in the house of initiatives and placement of the lord of the tenth house, Saturn, in the house of income blessed the native with self-employment. For warding off the evils of malefic influences caused by functional malefic planets, the native was suggested propitiatory remedial measures for Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Rahu and Ketu. The malefic effects are indicative of troubles to family, which includes parents, husband and children, and self-health. The later part of the life of the native is likely to be quite unpleasant. During Ketu's sub-period in the main period of Venus the native's husband met with an accident. Ketu afflicts the lord of the house of bed-comforts, Mars, and the significator for husband, Jupiter.

Birth: 27th March, 1977, 0927 Hrs.(Click to See Chart)
The Moon occupies the second house and draws some strength on account of its placement. At the same time, the Moon becomes weak as it is debilitated in navamsa. It restricts happiness on account of younger brothers. The Sun occupies the eleventh house, but its power is also restricted as it is debilitated in navamsa and its mooltrikona house is exactly afflicted by Mars. The Sun gave her affluent parents. Thelord of the fifth house, Mercury, is weak on account of combustion, debilitation and having its mooltrikona house exactly afflicted by Mars. This has caused lack of understanding. Venus is in its sign of exaltation, but its strength is also reduced as it is in old-age and closely afflicted by the Rahu-Ketu axis. Venus is to protect the health of Taurus born people. The good placement of Venus is helpful to some extent in view of the severe affliction to the ascendant by the exact aspect of Mars and the weakness of the planets, the Sun, the Moon and Mercury. Saturn, the yogakarka planet for the nativity, occupies the third house. Saturn is weak due to the weakness of its dispositor and the exact affliction of Mars to the most effective point of its mooltrikona house. Venus's own favorable placement as lord of the house of health acts as the protector of health against the afflictions in the chart. During the sub-period of Venus in the main period of Rahu, the native could come out of severe physical problems created by malefic transits with the help of the astral-remedies.

Birth: 29th August 1948, 2330 hrs.(Click to See Chart)
The Moon ruling the third house of leadership and vision is strongly placed in the second house ruling status. The Sun occupies the fourth house having its own mooltrikona sign and is very close to the most effective point of the fourth house. The Sun is weak as it is afflicted by the exact aspect of Rahu from the twelfth house. Jupiter is fairly strong and blesses the native with good inheritance. Mercury is weak as it is in old-age. Saturn is weak as it is combust, in infancy and its dispositor is weak. The placement of the Sun and fairly strong Jupiter blessed the native with affluent father enjoying senior position with the Government. The native enjoyed living in government mansions. He enjoyed good assets both earned and inherited. The strong Moon and the close aspect of the Sun to the tenth house blessed the native with a senior position with the government. The lord of the house of initiatives joins the house of status. This helped the native in acquiring higher status with the government at a very young age. Mercury’s position in the sign Leo being lord of the fifth house gave royal mental make-up.

Ketu’s close affliction to the house of family and status caused some relationship problems. It caused separations in family, ill health to wife and made the official position of the native controversial for brief intervals.

The exact aspect of Rahu to the Sun and the most effective point of the houses occupied and aspected caused death of his father early in life. The close affliction of Rahu and Ketu to the most effective points of their occupied and aspected houses, gave problem of hypertension and health trouble to the native. This close impact of the Rahu-Ketu axis also caused domestic problems due to constant ill health of wife.

The weakness of the tenth lord due to combustion and close aspect of Ketu to the tenth house shortened the working life of the native. The native succumbed to a heart attack at a young age of 43 years.

Birth:21st October, 1957(Click to See Chart)
The lord of the house of initiatives, the Moon, joins the fifth house. The native was born to not so-rich parents, who earned some wealth subsequently. The functional malefic planets, Mars and Jupiter, form inauspicious conjunctions in the chart. They are not only closely conjunct, but form close conjunction with the most effective point of the fifth house as well. Afflicted Jupiter also mildly afflicts the Moon. The fourth lord, debilitated Sun, forms close conjunction with the fifth lord, Mercury, in the sixth house. Both the Sun and Mercury are weak. Rahu-Ketu does not form close conjunction with the planets and the most effective points of the houses of their occupation. Saturn, the yogakaraka planet, is strong.

Due to the bad placement of the debilitated Sun and Mercury in the house of conflicts, the close affliction of Jupiter to the Moon and the close conjunction of Mars and Jupiter near the most effective point of the fifth house, the native faced numerous problems in life. The parents of the native saw downfall in life indicated by debilitated Sun in the sixth house. The assets of the native became disputed. The native suffered emotional setback due to the weakness of Mercury and the Moon. His wife deserted him along with their children and staked claim on native's earned and inherited assets.

The native suffered from extreme ill health due to the bad placement of the Sun, Mercury and Rahu in the sixth house and the close affliction to the ascendant and the Moon from the already afflicted lord of the eighth house. The native saw many upheavals in his professional career due to the weakness of the Sun.

Birth:15th Nov.,1931.Hrs.(Click to See Chart)

The lord of the house of initiatives is placed in the ninth house, exactly afflicted by Ketu, and aspects the third house closely. The fifth lord exactly aspects the ascendant. The strong Mercury blessed the native with brilliance. The fourth lord, the Sun, is badly placed, debilitated and in the state of old-age, which is indicative of not so-rich position of the parents. The close conjunction of functional malefic planets Mars and Venus is not creating mutual affliction as both the planets are strong. The otherwise strong Mercury, lord of the fifth house, being closely conjunct to Venus/Mars and closely aspected by Rahu, is under the close influence of more than one functional malefic planet at the same time. Jupiter, the most malefic planet, occupies the third house. Rahu closely afflicts the most effective point of the third and fifth houses.

Due to his own intellect and efforts, the native earned a good amount of money and created good assets. The multiple malefic influences over the most effective point of the fifth house and its lord, however, gave mental setback to the native on account of the death of his only son, who committed suicide in the main period of the badly placed Saturn and sub-period of Mercury. The close aspect of functional malefic planets to the ascendant, the Moon and Mercury gave physical and mental problems to the native.

Birth: 16th Sept.,1965, 2201Hrs.(Click to See Chart)
The functional malefic planets, Jupiter and Venus, form close conjunction with the most effective points of the houses they occupy. The Sun is weak as it is in infancy. Mercury is weak due to the weakness of its dispositor. Mercury's mutual close aspect with Saturn blessed the native with post-graduate professional qualification. The favorable placement of the otherwise weak Sun blessed the native with a well-placed father and good assets. The strong lord of the house of initiatives, the Moon, being close to the most effective point of the ascendant, gave him an initiative for business, though along with some difficulties in the beginning. The functional malefic planet, Mars, does not form close conjunction with the most effective point of the house. None of the planets is in its sign of debilitation in the navamsa. The strong Venus indicates fairly good health and sound financial status.

To overcome his teething problems of business, and to avoid malefic effects of Jupiter and Venus, the native was suggested remedial measures both for strengthening the weak functional benefic planets and propitiating the functional malefic planets. Rahu-Ketu axis do not form close conjunctions in the chart. Notwithstanding anything, whenever Rahu is in Taurus, the material possessions of the native are comparatively of a higher order.

Birth:6th Sept.,1937, 2350Hrs.(Click to See Chart)
The lord of the fifth house, Mercury, is strong and placed in the fifth house in association with the strong lord of the third house, the Moon. The lords of the third and tenth houses mutually aspect each other and indicate good success through vision, leadership, communications and creativity. The strong position of functional benefic planets, conjunctions and aspects, blessed the native with affluent parents, comforts, and a brilliant political career from a very young age. The lord of the fourth house, the Sun, occupies the fourth in close conjunction with the most effective point of the fourth house. The Sun is weak as it is debilitated in navamsa and its mooltrikona house and house of placement is afflicted by the most malefic planet, Jupiter. Rahu is in the seventh house and closely aspects the significator for wife, Venus. Jupiter's close conjunction with the most effective point of the eighth house in its own mooltrikona sign is indicative of inheritance, long life and unearned wealth in life but is unfavorable for marriage and mental happiness as it afflicts the most effective points of the twelfth, second and fourth houses and makes the person vulnerable to sudden damages.

The tenth lord is well placed and exalted in navamsa and makes for the deficiency created by the weak Sun to some extent with the help of strong lords of the third and fifth houses, the native enjoyed the position of the Chief Minister for more than a decade, before joining the Central Government in India as a Minister.

The close aspect of Rahu to Venus and the exact conjunction of Mars to the most effective point of the seventh house, however, gave health problems to wife. The good placement of the lords of the fifth and third houses helped him in managing his political position for nearly two decades very tactfully.

Birth:July 1947(Click to See Chart)
The lords of the fourth and fifth houses, though weak, are in close conjunction with each other in the house of status. The Sun is weak as it is in old-age. Mercury is weak as it is combust and in old-age. The lord of the tenth house, Saturn, is exactly conjunct with the most effective point of the house of initiatives. The lord of the house of losses, Mars, forms close conjunction with the most effective point of the ascendant and afflicts the houses occupied and aspected. Rahu-Ketu axis does not form close conjunctions/aspects in the chart. The lord of the house of obstructions afflicts from the sixth house the lords of the houses of initiatives, assets and intellect by way of close aspects rendering the ventures of the native losing and full of obstructions.

The fourth lord's position in the house of status blessed the native with good status. His ventures blessed him with short-lived high gains. But impulsive decisions because of combust Mercury, affliction of Venus to the most effective point of the second house and conjunction of Mars to the ascendant spoiled all plans and calculations of the native. The close aspect of the lord of house of losses, Mars, to the fourth house gave substantial losses through investments in property. Venus’ affliction to the second house resulted in resigning his official position. The affliction of Jupiter to the Moon posed obstructions in the smooth operations of his enterprises. So, the position of the Sun in the chart did help the native with assets, education, comforts of living, etc., but with disturbances.
