Venus governs attraction and values — what you find beautiful and how you love. In Taurus, that function takes on steadiness, comfort and a long attention span — a Fixed Earth expression ruled by Venus.
Where it strains
Confuses immovability with principle, and resists change long after it has stopped being optional.
Reading a placement properly
Venus in Taurus describes a function in a style. It says nothing yet about where that plays out — for that you need the house, and the house needs a birth time. A placement read without its house is half a sentence.
