Nature and traits
Vrishabh (Taurus) is a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus, and the Moon is exalted here. People with the Moon in Vrishabh are often calm, patient, loyal and steady, with a love of comfort, good food, music and beautiful things. They build slowly and surely, and what they build tends to last. Emotionally they are dependable and affectionate, preferring security to drama. Finance, agriculture, the arts, food, design and any work that rewards persistence often suit them. Their growth lies in flexibility — welcoming change when it comes, and holding possessions and opinions a little more lightly.
In Vedic astrology "rashi" usually means the Moon sign — the sign the Moon occupied at birth, in the sidereal zodiac. It is often different from a Western sun sign.
