With Venus never far from the Sun (at most about 47°), the Sun sits within two signs of Taurus; how close they are tells you whether Venus is combust.

Venus and the lagna lord

Venus is a natural friend of the lagna lord Mercury, and from the 9th it occupies a trine, which makes its help natural. The person usually experiences its results as allies.

Aspects from the 9th house

From the 9th, Venus aspects:

• the 3rd house by its 7th aspect: it sweetens courage, skills and siblings; that house is Scorpio, ruled by Mars, so intensity is what it touches.

Which nakshatra: Taurus in parts

The degree matters too: Taurus is divided between these nakshatras, whose lords bring their Virgo-rising houses into play:

• 0°–10° Taurus: Krittika, under the Sun, which for Virgo rising rules the 12th, so expenses, foreign lands and retreat enter the reading; its gift is clear discrimination, its shadow harsh words.

• 10°–23°20′ Taurus: Rohini, ruled by the Moon, lord of the 11th here, which brings gains and networks into it; for work it points to agriculture, food, beauty, fashion, design and the creative arts.

• 23°20′–30° Taurus: Mrigashira, a Mars nakshatra, linking the placement with the 3rd and 8th (courage, skills and siblings; transformation and hidden matters); its gift is the joy of discovery, its shadow never settling.
