Rashi 2 of 12

Vrishabha (Taurus)

Steady, sensual and loyal: the rashi that builds slowly and keeps what it builds.

Rashi traits describe tendencies, not fixed fate. Your full kundli, lagna and dasha say much more about you.

Nature

The Vrishabha temperament

Vrishabha is a fixed earth sign ruled by Shukra, and it values comfort, beauty and security. People with Vrishabha strong in their chart often have a calming presence and a good ear for music, food or design.

Chandra is exalted in Vrishabha, which gives emotional steadiness. The same steadiness can turn into stubbornness when change is needed.
