HOROSCOPE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Venus is the ruling planet of your sign, but as you were born in the third Decan, or part, of the Taurus sign, Saturn also lends you a helping of its planetary power. Being the planet of harmony, the influence of Venus can be witnessed in your appreciation of beauty, sociability and cooperation. In the same sense, it is Saturn’s power that links to your discipline, order and responsibility. More so than any of the other Taurus Decans, your unique planetary power makes you patient. Your ability to keep cool is one of your greatest assets, as you have the rare ability to stay calm in frustrating situations. Although you do not desire praise or accolades, you are very interested in material gain. As is the case with all members of the Taurus sign, security is one of your greatest concerns.<\/p>\n
