Welcome back folks! Continuing our Taurus ascendant series, let’s talk about the role of SUN for a Taurus ascendant native. Sun rules the 4th house ( Leo) for this chart which is the house of our home and family life among other things. Let’s quickly touch upon what Sun signifies first. Sun in astrology depicts our core self or our soul. It’s the ultimate driving force and vitality of any person. It describes our spirit and general attitude towards life. When this sun rules the 4th house, in a way it reinforces the importance of family life for a Taurus person. They are always protective towards their immediate family and home environment. They like to work on their home life to make it as comfortable and luxurious as possible. It is something that brings them a sense of peace and purpose as the 4th is a Kalpursh chart is our deep inner needs and wants.
As we have discussed, all the four Kendra houses for a Taurus ascendant are fixed sign houses contributing to their need for stability. Sun is a natural malefic but being the lord of a Kendra house becomes a functional benefic for Taurus ascendant, which means if the sun is functioning in its highest form, it can provide auspicious results for the native. By highest form I mean, a sun that is devoted towards what their soul is here to do. I have always iterated the fact that it’s the same thing that can bring all the good or the bad in life depending on how we choose to work with it. On the one hand, the sun signifies our soul, on the other it also defines our ego and pride. We need those as well to function in this world but if our Sun is more inclined towards the 3D Ego of our being it can result in more harm than good. We can correlate this with where the Sun is exalted and debilitated for a Taurus ascendant.
Sun is exalted in the 12th house for a Taurus native which is very telling here. It shows how a Sun in its highest form would manifest as sacrificing and giving when it comes to their home and family. They also would enjoy vacations that are more towards relaxation and indulging in luxury rather than adventures. Along the same lines they might also like spending their vacations at home where they have comfort and peace, for many their vacation can look like beautifying their home, mediating at home, landscaping etc. The 4th house also relates to land, property, luxury cars and other such assets. The sun ruling these areas imply that for a Taurus, they would want to put in the effort to improve or maintain their home and even manage properties. Real estate can be a good venture for these natives because Sun provides the necessary protection and strength needed for the domain. Another association with exalted sun in the 12th house is, they might like restoring properties and gaining wealth from that area. Their “good expenses” can be in investing in properties and maintaining them.
The sun is debilitated in the 6th house for Taurus ascendants. What this means is in general, Taureans do not like to do the menial work or be at the lowest denomination of their organization. They are hardworking people but would not like to be someone doing the most menial job. That somehow does not provide them the sense of purpose they need. This shows that for such natives, they need to keep a level head when working under such circumstances and taking that as a motivation to rise rather than getting frustrated and angered. Taurus generally like to be wanted or needed by others which makes them feel important and this debilitation explains why. The 4th lord goes into the 6th house (third from itself) resulting in debilitation showing that they don’t appreciate extreme effort without acknowledgment or roles that can appear that way to them.
That’s all I have for now. Hope you got some additional insights into a Taurus ascendant person and why they are the way they are because of the sun ruling their 4th house. I’ll be back with Mars soon..
