To fully understand Taurus Ascendant people, you need to look deeply into the actual sign of Taurus. Taurus is ruled by Venus, also known as Aphrodite in Greek Mythology. Cronus (Saturn) castrated his father (Ouranos - Uranus), and threw the testicles into the ocean. From there, a white foam was produced and Aphrodite rose, fully grown. That is why Venus is exalted in Pisces. She was born of the ocean. Therefore, in order for Aphrodite to be born, three gods were involved - Ouranos, the great father god of the sky, Cronus (the Titan) who castrated him, and Poseidon (Neptune) who ruled the ocean.
Therefore a Taurus Ascendant has within them, the stability of Cronus (Saturn), who rules Capricorn, the sensitivity of Poseidon, who rules Pisces, and the ability to be in and take charge, like Ouranos, the great sky god.
With Taurus Ascendant people, all fleeting thoughts are entertained, allowing their possibility to become permanent. Quality is always more important than quantity. Great importance is placed on traditions, habits, readiness of resources, and the maintenance of the status quo. They view with suspicion those rather undesirable changes. In contrast to Aries Ascendant folks, Taurus Ascendant people do not value grand adventures or the next new thing. Instead, they are looking for stability, security, and the quiet it takes to make sound decisions. They can sometimes seclude themselves in privacy, as Taurus AC people are the most self-sufficient Rising signs of all, able to handle anything on their own. Most importantly Taurus AC is all about sensuality .
Taurus is a feminine Earth sign, that is of the Fixed modality.
