Venus, your ruling planet, can be a positive influence in your desire to establish a stable and secure partnership, your sensuality and enjoyment of sexual intimacy, and in enhancing warmth and affection in your intimate family relationships and friendships. However, Venus is also associated with over-dependence in relationships, and in unfavorable circumstances where you feel insecure, for example, the influence of Venus may add to your instinct to be possessive or jealous. Venus has a positive influence on musical talent, particularly vocal talent, and in inspiring a love of the arts.

The Sun enhances your vitality and may, together with Venus, enhance your capacity for love and affection, love of the good things of life, and an appreciation of music.

The Light Moon has an influence on the emotions, and this can have a dampening effect that increases the natural patience of Taureans, though the down side of this is complacency. This can become a real problem if rumination turns into a stubborn refusal to get going, or results in a rigid go-slow mind-set when others want results quickly. The Dark Moon can bring the subconscious passions to the surface and depending what they are this may invoke the slumbering power of the Taurean into action. The Taurean's can be as surprised as those around them with the outcomes.

Mercury tends to consolidate your steady, reliable approach to life and if you are in a rut, you may need to look to other astrological influences to help you move forward.

Mars strengthens the masculine aspects of your personality, whether you are male or female. Mars is a positive influence in respect of your determination, the ability to stand your ground where needed, and to enhance the energy you need to work hard. However, Mars may also add to the strength of the explosion should you lose your temper, and should you become enraged, it will be even harder to consider the feelings of others.

Jupiter encourages your instinct to make money and can lend an edge to a flair for business, especially with the timing of something. Jupiter may also enliven your hospitality and love of the good life. There is little negative influence from Jupiter for you to worry about except for a rare dip into extravagance or self-indulgence.

Saturn will soon counter any temptation to indulge yourself and is likely to encourage caution and cause you to worry that you are spending too much on luxuries, but may encourage your deliberation towards social or business successes. At other times, Saturn may reinforce a rigid attitude to routine, which you may impose on others, especially your children.

Uranus is the planet of personal transformation, especially radical or revolutionary thinking, so this influence may help you to 'lighten up' after a period of insecurity and rigidity. However, at other times it may also encourage eccentricity or rebellion, tempting you to stay unmoved when you should make a change.

Neptune's influence can have a positive effect on the higher aspirations, especially in the area of creative potential. However, in some circumstances, it promotes indecision and emotional uncertainty.
