Jupiter in Taurus : generosity and Epicureanism
Jupiter is in the element of Earth in this sign, under the rulership of Venus, so the greater and lesser benefics of traditional astrology join forces here.
These people are fundamentally very materialistic and extremely epicurean, and they tend to be very sensual and feel the need to take advantage of all of life’s pleasures. Asceticism is really not for them : they want to get a taste of everything and deny themselves as few things as possible !
They do not necessarily have “tons”, but they have a great appreciation for what the world has given them. They have a highly developed instinct for judging their own value and the value of various things. They may be formidable business people, in finance, in any other form of resource management, or in any other field, or they may make good investments. They are very focused on possessing a solid house and some land. They like to accumulate things, are sometimes collectors, and often define themselves by their possessions.
Their value system is what bring them good luck : they appreciate and create things that are good quality and durable, and they are patient, hard workers.
Jupiter in Taurus people have an exaggerated view of their assets, both in terms of their knowledge and the fruits of their labor, and they are extremely proud of these gains. They have absolutely no desire to call any of it into question, and can show themselves to be extremely stubborn when it comes to their standards.
These people are always very practical and pragmatic, welcoming abundance, but also knowing how to make the most out of having very little. They are very realistic and can make miracles happen, but they are also careful and do things slowly. They take their time, as they need to gain a very solid understand of things before starting something. They tend to play hard to get, and hate being pushed around or made to do things in a hurry.
They are very visual and concrete in their approach to social, philosophical, and moral issues, and deal with things empirically in their daily life. Everything needs to be sieved through the reality of their experience, and they like things to be tangible, so anything that is abstract or that “cannot be touched” is not for them.
Jupiter in Taurus’ energy is not very focused. These people tend towards lavishness, materialism, consumerism, wastefulness, laziness, apathy, passiveness, and egoism, but Jupiter in Taurus may also be beautifully sublimated, resulting in more generous, charitable, indulgent, tolerant, and even selfless souls, as these people use material goods to nourish the spirit; they see money as a means rather than an end, and as something that should be used first and foremost to benefit society.
Jupiter retrograde in Taurus
Jupiter’s Retrograde motion in this sign can reinforce these people’s desire to accumulate things, but the desire to disengage may come more easily to them, and they more spontaneously sublimate Jupiter to move towards spirituality and religion. Some people may also feel guilty about their sensual experiences.
