HOROSCOPE
The Taurus is subject to the planetary ruler of Venus and as you were born in the first Decan, or part of the sign, the power of Venus has twice the influence on your personality. Being the planet of harmony, Venus’s influence can be witnessed in your warmth, sociability and appreciation of beauty. More so than any of the other Taurus Decans, your planetary influence makes you loving and sensual. There is little in life you want more than to love and be loved. In all aspects of life, you are loyal and faithful, which is one of your greatest strengths. In love, find a partner that shares in your loyalty and appreciation of comfort, as this pairing will bring you the most happiness.
