Sun in Taurus in the First 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 1st House

The Sun in the 1st House is a strong placement for the Sun, indicating considerable focus on your self-identity. Both the Sun and the 1st House are associated with identity— who you feel you are. Normally, this placement suggests that you have a strong personality, unless the Sun has difficult aspects or is in a weak sign. Confidence, self-esteem and self-identity are likely to be issues that concern you but—unless there are indications in your chart to the contrary—you will generally deal with these issues positively. With the Sun in the 1st House, you may be given lessons, especially in early life, that challenge your self-confidence or provoke an identity crisis. Meeting these challenges is likely to result in you developing a stronger personality.

Insecurities

With your Sun in the 1st House you are vulnerable to two extremes if your psyche is unbalanced. At one extreme, you may have an overabundance of ego or self-interest resulting in you being too concerned with yourself. If this energy is introverted, you will be self-absorbed. If the energy is extroverted, you may manifest your personality too much. At the other extreme, you may suffer from a severe lack of self-esteem. In this case, it is the identity and the ego which are problematic for you. As an individual with your Sun in the 1st House, you do not know how to express your personality and identity in a healthy manner. The resulting personality is dysfunctional. Alternatively, working out this problem may become a life-goal. If this is the case, a more complete self will be the result.

Focus of Your Self-Identity

Having your Sun in the 1st House denotes a strong focus on self-identity. A central question, faced consciously or unconsciously by you is, Who am I? Throughout your life, you are likely to deal with issues involving the place of self, the meaning of identity and the development of persona. Depending on the aspects to the Sun in your chart, the overall composition of the chart, your stage of consciousness and your “inherited” tendencies, these issues may be dealt with in a confident manner or from an insecure or questioning place.
