Vrishabha (Taurus)
By The Astrologic Desk · Editorial and calculation review
Vrishabha (Taurus) spans 30° to 60° of the sidereal zodiac. It is a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus, symbolised by the Bull. The Moon reaches exact exaltation here at 3°, which is why Vrishabha Moon placements are traditionally read as emotionally settled. The sign's signature is durability: slow to start, very hard to move once committed.

Temperament
Strengths: Builds things that last rather than things that impress quickly; Steady with resources, comfort and long-term value; Reliable under pressure that would destabilise movable signs. Costs: Resistance to change persists past the point of usefulness; Comfort can quietly become avoidance; Positions are held longer than the evidence supports.
