They possess musical abilities, love good food and pleasant drinks. They are sociable, quick to understand, self-assured, inclined to stir the opposite sex by their actions. According to the ancient text «Brihat Jataka» these people «may deal in fabrics, may be skilled in singing or in playing musical instruments». The Sun in Taurus makes a person cautious, old-fashioned, endows him with a good sense of humour and with the capacity for analysis preceding action. They are patient, they wait until the conditions favourable for carrying out their plans have ripened. They may be good as officials, administrators; they know a great deal about acquiring things or managing property. Sometimes these people may have diseases of the heart or of the eyes; they may be very stubborn and eccentric. In other cases they profit by engaging in commercial activity, by receiving an inheritance and through a fortunate marriage. (Tom Hopke)
