Part of Fortune in Taurus: Meaning and Ruler

Acquiring property on favorable terms is a strong Venusian promise. Jewelry and work with color can supply the income, as can high office and benefits through women.[1] A Taurus Fortune can therefore be read through the price of skilled work or the terms on which goods change hands. Bodily enjoyment extends to sexual pleasure in Schulman’s modern Taurus reading.[3] Pleasure has an economic life here.

A jeweler with a well-placed Venus has a favorable reading: workmanship commands a price that pays for the materials and leaves a profit. A damaged ruler suggests a harder bargain, where the cost of making the beautiful object outruns what its buyer will pay. The stake is the maker’s income.

Venus exalted in Pisces sextiles Taurus from the eleventh place from Fortune, the place associated with acquisition.[2] The ruler is benefic, dignified, and connected to its Lot. This is a strong configuration for gains through Venusian work or relationships.

Venus in Virgo also sees Taurus, this time by trine, but is in fall.[2] A smooth aspect can connect the ruler to the Lot while the ruler struggles to deliver. This comparison favors the Pisces Venus: the quality of the giver matters as much as the existence of a route for the money.
