Positions
Venus in Taurus
Modern
You value comfort, touch, and the reliable presence of the people you love, and you give the same in return. Loyalty runs deep, sometimes into holding on past the point you should. The growth is loosening the grip. At your best you make love feel like a warm, safe, sensual home.
Traditional (Hellenistic)
Taurus is Venus's earthy domicile, so here the star of love acts through her full nature: pleasure of the senses, steadiness, and the building of lasting bonds. The older authors treat a planet in its own house as given full agency. The gift is devotion and a deep capacity for enjoyment; the cost is a possessiveness that confuses holding on with loving.
Lean in — Hold your people close and your hand open.
Watch for — Confuse keeping someone with loving them.
