Sun Transit in Taurus

Taurus belongs to Venus, whom the Sun counts an enemy, so Surya spends about a month in a sign that values comfort. Authority works best here through patience.

Taurus governs the face, speech, family wealth and food. The Sun lights all of them and can also dry them out. Money earned this month tends to come through steady effort, and speech carries weight, so a careless word costs more than usual.

The nakshatras are Krittika, Rohini and Mrigashira. Krittika belongs to the Sun, so the opening days are the strongest. Rohini, under the Moon, softens the stay and brings family matters forward, and Mrigashira, under Mars, adds restlessness at the end.

Phaladeepika places the Sun well in the third, sixth, tenth and eleventh from the Moon, which falls to Pisces, Sagittarius, Leo and Cancer Moons, and Scorpio Moons carry it in the seventh, where a partner's demands grow loud. Taurus Moons hold it in the first, and the body feels taxed.

The month shows what a person takes comfort in. Where ease has replaced effort, the Sun exposes the gap bluntly, and steady effort gets rewarded just as plainly. Eat simply and guard the throat.

• Offer arghya at sunrise with a little jaggery in the water.
• Give red cloth or wheat on Sunday, the dana Parashara names for Surya.
• Keep speech measured, since Taurus rules the spoken word.
