Common questions
What does Taurus rising mean?
Taurus rising means Taurus was on the eastern horizon at your birth. Astrologers read it as a calm, grounded first impression: you tend to come across as steady, warm and unhurried, someone people feel at ease around.
What is the ruling planet of Taurus rising?
Venus. In Western astrology the planet that rules your Rising sign is called your chart ruler, and astrologers give its sign and house extra weight in your chart.
How common is Taurus rising?
It depends on where you were born. At New York's latitude, Taurus spends about 1 hr 26 min a day on the eastern horizon, compared with an average of 2 hours per sign, which makes it less common than average for people born there. In London it's about 1 hr 9 min, and in Sydney about 2 hr 25 min. These are our own calculations.
Is Taurus rising the same as being a Taurus?
No. "Being a Taurus" usually means your Sun was in Taurus, which depends on your birthday. Your Rising sign depends on the exact time and place of birth, so it's often a different sign. You need your birth time to know it.
