Jupiter in Taurus
Jupiter represents the part of you that trusts, grows and seeks meaning. In Taurus, it expresses itself with calm, steadiness and a love of what is solid.
In Taurus — fixed earth, sign of Venus — Jupiter settles as a guest in a plentiful house. Peregrine, he has here no lordship of his own, but the friendly ruler receives him gladly and the firm earth gives body to what he signifies. Abundance ceases to be a promise and becomes granary, orchard, a coffer that fills slowly and does not empty. It inclines to a slow and solid generosity, to the good that is amassed and kept, to a serene faith that prefers custom to rapture. It gives a taste for the good things of the earth, a wide table, an open hand with those who sit at it. Justice here is that of the good landowner, who weighs just weights and pays what he owes. Venus sweetens his judgement and the fixed earth gives him root; but fixity tends to attach the liberal man to his goods, and religion may become comfort and plenty more than elevation.
