Saturn in Taurus
Saturn in the sign of Taurus occupies a sign friendly to it and points to a person of firm and reserved character who works productively. They may be neat and thrifty even when they are in a difficult situation in life. The classical texts mention that these people will have many marriage partners, that there will be anxieties, that they will be alone or will love solitude, and that they will be insatiable in food. These people usually occupy a subordinate position. (Tom Hopke)
Saturn in Taurus: clumsy and heavy, down-to-earth interests, practical, capable, inclined to excessive obligingness, unable to argue his position clearly. (Sri Govind Swarup Agarwal)
People with Saturn in Taurus are very stubborn and sure that they are right. The person tries in every way to secure material well-being for himself. For this he works a great deal. They are very slow and meticulous; before setting about a task they think and analyse a great deal. Success comes slowly. Very reliable workers. When the person takes up some work, he gives it his utmost. He feels secure when there is financial stability. They may prove themselves very well in business and in agriculture. They are experts in domestic life. Taurus loves beautiful things and domestic comfort. Saturn gives this comfort, but the person will obtain it slowly and steadily. Family life ends in divorce or in the death of the partner. On the whole this is a good place for Saturn. If Saturn is not afflicted, it will give good results in its own dasha period. (Mahesh Dharmadasa)
Results of the placement of Shani (Saturn) in the rashi Vrishabha (the sign of Taurus)
If Shani is placed in Vrishabha, then the person will be deprived of the happiness of a wife, will live in the company of gossips, and will be devoid of intellect and happiness. («Jataka Bharanam» 19.74)
Commentary: Shani [Saturn], being in the Rashi Vrishabha [the sign Taurus], will reduce such qualities as enthusiasm, happiness and a festive atmosphere in the family. In such a person's family, as a rule, they speak of profession and finances, and a particular discipline prevails.
The degree to which the results mentioned above manifest: If all three — 1) the Rashi [sign], 2) the ruler of the Rashi [sign] and 3) the Graha [planet] — are endowed with strength, then the full result will be obtained. The lesser or greater degree of the results can be learned by studying the position of the ruler of the Rashi: whether it is in debilitation, in exaltation, in its own Rashi, whether it is combust and so on. («Jataka Bharanam» 19.85)
