Virgo Sun Taurus Rising
In this beautiful combination, Demeter, goddess of agriculture, her Virginal daughter Persephone (before she was made Queen of the Underworld and wife to Hades), and Hermes, the messenger god, all hold hands with Venus, the goddess of love!
Virgo and Taurus are both feminine, Earth Zodiac Signs that are quite introverted. The big difference is that Virgo is part of the Mutable modality, while Taurus is a Fixed Sign. Virgo is quite flexible, while Taurus is the most stubborn of all the Signs.
This Virgo loves their home more than any other Virgo, and theirs will be clean, neat and everything will be in perfect order. The saying, “a place for everything, and everything in its place,” applies here, as well as “cleanliness is close to godliness.” Their homes will be Earthy, with natural elements making up much of the furniture. They also love their gardens, and most likely have a few dogs and cats.
How to Recognize Virgo Sun Taurus Rising
In this combination you get the beauty of Virgo with the sensuality of Taurus. The people of this combination are both delicate and “earthy.” They may have brown hair and brown eyes. The males usually have strong bodies, where they can build a lot of muscle mass on their torsos, while the females look like goddesses with long hair and a certain voluptuousness to their bodies.
You will find them wearing natural colors like different shades of blue (denim), brown, green, black, white, mustard yellow, and white. They are not very comfortable with too much red on their bodies, in their clothes. They do not want to stand out, and do not want the spotlight on them.
Virgo Sun Taurus Rising Career
Virgos are actually very good writers, as they are ruled by Hermes after all, and with a Taurus Rising, they know how to make money. In fact, they attract wealth. Aquarius rules their 10th House of career, while Libra rules their 6th House of every day work. Put this together, and you could have someone who works in technology to do with fashion, design and décor.
They make wonderful interior decorators, and are good at making people look beautiful, so they make good make-up artists too. Some may be great chefs, that are very meticulous with their food! Others may be great accountants. They also make great veterinarians, botanists, geologists and landscape architects, as they love getting their hands covered in soil – as long as there is a tap nearby to wash them clean! These Virgos also make great singers.
Virgo Sun Taurus Rising Health
Virgos are naturally concerned with health, as they rule it, but with a Taurus Rising, they may be predisposed to enjoying good food a little too much. Therefore, they need to exercise quite a lot to burn off the extra calories. If they put on weight, it is usually around the midsection.
Libra rules their 6th house of health, so there needs to be a balance with how they eat, and how they exercise, never overdoing one or the other. They also need to be careful with drinking too much alcohol, as it can affect their kidneys. It’s also always important to cleanse, tone, and moisturize the face on their skin from a young age, not forgetting to apply eye cream both in the morning and at night.
A Virgo Sun Taurus Ascendant also needs to watch out for an overactive or underactive thyroid, as well as diabetes. It is wise for them to go see an endocrinologist from around the age of 25 to learn how to take the best care of themselves possible, to avoid problems of their endocrine system.
Virgo Sun Taurus Rising Love
All that timidity and virginal innocence, mixed with all that sensuality, makes this combination naturally give off sexual energy they are unaware of, that attracts many people. Scorpio rules their 7th House of marriage, love and relationships and yes, indeed, Scorpio is a fabulous match here - remember the story of Hades (Scorpio) and his bride Persephone (Virgo), Queen of the Underworld?
The other Water Signs, Pisces and Cancer also make marvelous matches, as well as the Earth Sign Capricorn, and other Virgos and Taureans.
Leos and Librans make good friends to this combination. However, the other Fire and Air signs don’t fare so well. Aries are a bit too impulsive for this combination, while Sagittarians are a bit too independent and adventurous and will always want to leave the home to go out. This combination loves being at home.
Aquarians are far too emotionally detached for this sign, and form a minor Quincunx aspect to Virgo, while Geminis can actually work, and there is a lot of understanding, as Gemini is also ruled by Mercury. However, there is a Square aspect between them, which usually means sexual attraction, as well as many differences – however, lessons will be learned from one another.
How Virgo Sun Taurus Rising Should Start the Day
Rising signs dictate the beginning of the day, so as a Virgo Sun Taurus Ascendant, this person needs to wake up in a beautiful room that is clean, neat and aesthetically pleasing, which smells good. It is a good idea for them to say a gratitude prayer and then get out of bed, pour themselves a hot cup of herbal tea and step outside barefoot in the garden. They need to “ground” themselves and feel the earth beneath their feet, and really grasp onto the grass with their toes, to be one with the earth.
Afterwards, they should spend some time with their pets. A hearty breakfast should be enjoyed, followed by a 30-minute walk and a warm shower, using lovely scented soap or shower gel. They should then apply body cream, make themselves look beautiful, and step out the house, ready for work. All of these actions need to be done in their own time, but repeated every day in the same order, as they love their routine.
