Ascendant in Taurus

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to James as “you”.

Ascendant (shortened ASC) is basically the axis of the 1st house and is one of the three most important points of personal horoscope. It represents the most eastern point at the moment of our birth and the sign in which it appears is called »the rising sign«. If somebody, for example, is born exactly at sunrise, it means that the Sun and the Ascendant are in the same sign.

Ascendant is a very accurate point of personal horoscope and its position strongly influences all other elements of the horoscope. It is accurate, because it stays in one sign only for about two hours and makes the entire circle through the zodiac in one day. Therefore, even twins, despite born in short time intervals, can have different Ascendant position.

Ascendant represents your looks, your personality, presence, beginnings of your achievements, your individuality and way of expression – the way you dress, talk, walk, etc. It indicates the way you let or want others to see and perceive you. It also indicates your birth, it represents your body, health, in what way you start acting and tackle challenges, what your basic outlook and approach to life is. It shows your basic essence. It is similar to the Sun, but the Ascendant represents your karmic mission, the cohesive thread, the test you need to solve in this life.

1st house in Taurus

Venus, which rules this sign and people born with the Ascendant in Taurus, can give you a voluptuous, robust and crude figure, but also the most refined and noble character, in any case, you have a soft, friendly and homely nature.

You are calm and well-mannered, you are usually more quiet and reserved. You are cautious with money, but not stingy, you often indulge in secular pleasures. Your thinking is strong and you accept novelties slowly – especially, if they change your carefully built-up world. Because of this, you can't make quick decisions and feel very restrained when faced with the facts. However, once you accept something or learn something new, you have it firmly anchored in your memory and you don't forget even the smallest detail.

Calm, reliable, artistic nature

You are reliable, hard-working and persistent, you rarely step down the preordained path. Although you have a calm nature, you sometimes explode and then you act like a wild bull and find it hard to control yourself.

You have something artistic within you, everything you do is inspired by your developed sense of aesthetics – you always have beautiful flowers at home, you are an excellent cook or expert in wines,...
