Sun in Taurus in the Eleventh House

Having your Sun in Taurus, you are the person others count on in the clutch, the one who perseveres when less determined spirits fall by the wayside. Because perseverance is the quality most needed for success, you tend to be successful. You are not the pioneer who first strikes out for new territory, but the determined settler who follows and builds houses and towns and cultivates the soil. If you were born with your Sun in Taurus, there is a pronounced stubborn streak in you. Your greatest strength resides in your tenacity and steady, relentless drive. You are a purposeful achiever who has endless patience to see a thing through, to make it a success. You are the original immovable object and irresistible force.

Taurus is a fixed sign, which means its natives are not fond of change. With your Sun in Taurus, you simply cannot be rushed into anything new. A different approach creates unease and anxiety in you. You are most comfortable and secure with the familiar, and your attitude might be summed up as “If everything is working fine the way it is, why try something new?”

Others are fascinated by your rare blending of a down-to-earth person who is such a romantic, poetic sort. Having your Sun in Taurus, the stability of an earth sign combines with the esthetic influence of Venus to create a responsible, steadfast personality with a deep appreciation for the finer aspects of life.

With your Sun in Taurus, you are also driven by the search for security. You look for permanence in your career, love, marriage, and home. Let others gadabout, jet-set, gallivant, and sleep around. You are happiest at home, surrounded by the beautiful, expensive things you have collected, secure in the warmth of a mate’s devotion, steadfast and faithful to those whom you love. Beneath the surface, you are sensuous and sentimental. You don’t give lavish gifts as tokens of affection because you are not a carefree spender – value is what you expect for your hard-earned dollar. Although you are willing to follow where your heart leads, you find it difficult to display your feelings openly. Your personality is private and self-contained.

With a Sun in Taurus, living with you isn’t always easy. You can be dogmatic, secretive, stingy, opinionated, and suspicious, and your silent manner may conceal feelings of envy and rivalry. It’s hard to get you moving, for you tend to be self-indulgent, even lazy.

As an individual with your Sun in Taurus, you have great stores of energy, however, which you put to use when you want to – not when others want you to. Venus emphasizes the social side of Taurus. Although basically shy and reserved with strangers, you can be a wonderful host or hostess. You like to entertain those you are fond of. You may not indulge as freely in frivolous pleasures as, say, Leo or Libra natives, but you are renowned for enjoying good food and good wine in plush surroundings. You believe in pampering yourself with the comforts of the good life.

With your Sun in Taurus, you are an endearing combination of the dependable and sensible, the sensitive and emotional. Inside every practical Taurus, there is a romantic dreamer struggling to get out.

The Inner You with your Sun in Taurus

Having your Sun in Taurus, you need order in your life – you get anxious when things are out of control. And because the unfamiliar makes you feel insecure, you tend to cut yourself off from fresh experiences. You need to be more open to change.

Having beautiful things is important to you, and your instinct for collecting even spills over into relationships. You hold fast to those you care about. You have a few close friends rather than many casual acquaintances. In love, you’re happiest when involved in a caring, committed relationship.

The sign position of the Sun indicates how we seek to express ourselves, develop ourselves, fulfill ourselves, and assert our will and power to shape our environment. The house position indicates the area of life in which we choose to focus the energy of our Sun sign and fulfill the purpose which it represents.

Sun in the 11th House

The Sun in the 11th House suggests a complex identity problem, since the 11th House opposes the Sun’s natural house, the 5th House (which is associated with Leo). In the 5th House, one is free to express themselves in order to find their identity. With your Sun in the 11th House, you are concerned not only with your personal needs and expression, but with how your identity relates to the larger social construct, whether this be a peer group, a social group or society as a whole.

Having your Sun in the 11th House, you may seek your identity by relating to some group, taking your personal identity from your group identification. If you are a more complex individual, however, this becomes a naïve stage in the process of self-identification. Questions inevitably arise about how you are distinguished from your identity group. While your need for group identification may be strong, you recognize the danger that your personal identity may become submerged in the group identity. When this happens, the extent to which you can assert your personal identity and yet remain within the group becomes problematic.

Insecurities

As an individual with your Sun in the 11th House, because you are inwardly insecure, you give undue attention to yourself and you are unwilling to detach yourself from the ego even in the least little bit. Rather than develop an authentic personality (taking responsibility for your selfhood), you adopt a group identity as a cop-out. Yet, unwilling to shoulder your responsibility to the group, you insist on standing out and expressing your individuality.  With your Sun in the 11th House, you have no real loyalty to the group or to its members. Yet, you live in fear that the group will abandon you. You fear facing life without the support of your group identity. Because you have not developed an authentic personal identity, you shrink from self-examination, lest you find a vacuum. Thus, you become the ultimate “groupy,” throwing your life into the life of the group, but in reality having no life to give.

Focus of Self-Identity

With your Sun in the 11th House, you tend to identify yourself in terms of your relationship to society or to social groups. Thus, you are likely to have a lot of social involvement, particularly with groups, clubs and organizations. This can lead you to attach your persona to a group identity. Whether this happens or not, it is likely that organized social involvement will play a key role in forming and maintaining your self-identity.
