Taurus Stelliums in the 10th Sign

[Guest guest]

Here are the charts that ADB pulled up when I asked for charts with

planets in Taurus in 10thaspecting the ascendant:

 

(1) Alain Trudel, one of the world's great bass virtuoso trombonists:

26 Leo Asc; Mars18 Tau; sun 29 Tau; MC 23 Tau; dispositor Venus at 22

Aries (9th) (One could make a case for Taurus/Venus and music here)

 

(2) Michael Gordon, musician, bassist, helped to found the band

Phish: 9 Leo Asc. Mercury 3, Jup 16, Sun 19, Rah 20 all Taurus.

Dispositor Venus 3 Gemini. (Again one could make a Taurus- music

link, but no particular emphasis on intellect.)

 

(3) Mary Wells Lawrence, top paid advertising executive: Asc 6 Leo

(conjunct Regulus); Venus 2, Sun 11, Rahu 17 Taurus; added Pucci

colors and and models to formerly drab airplanes (Taurus-Venus);

Noted love affair ending in marriage; 1 Leo asc; Sun 2, Uranus 23,

Venus 27, Rahu 29 Taurus. (I'd comment that advertising is working

for/with the public, can be linked to the Moon-Venus rulerships of

Taurus.)

 

Three in Govt/Politics

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(4) Rosemary Barnes, British Parliament member: 1 Leo asc; Sun 2,

Uranus 23, Venus 27, Rahu 29 Taurus (Why politics? Good question

using only the natal chart. The navmasa has Mercury- Moon-Jupiter in

Leo in the natal ascendant sign.)

 

(5) Matt Gonzalez, ran for mayor of San Francisco: 18 Leo asc;

Mercury 12, Jupiter 17, MC 17, Rahu 21, Sun 20 Taurus; Dispositor

Venus 5 Gemini (Very heavy Taurus emphasis, all would go to Tropical

Gemini) (Hint: Rahu/Sun from the navamsa cross to the natal Moon in

Cancer, a political sign according to Gleadow's ancient authors.)

 

(6) Kenneth Lee Adelman, American govt official appointed director of

the U.S. Arms Control Agency, later became a senior political

scientist; also taught classes on Shakespeare at Georgetown U; 16 Leo

asc; MC 11, Uranus 25, Sun 25 Rahu 28 Taurus; Dispositor Venus in

Gemini with Saturn. Moon-Jupiter in Virgo, same as GW. Jup/Ur/Sun in

Leo on navamsa ascendant, conjunct natal asc; (Does it matter that

the Taurus planets are all in a nakshatra of Mars for his political

years?)

So here are 17 people with multiple planets in Taurus in the 10th.

What do they have in common? Well, one thing is obvious. There are no

shrinking violets, closeted scientists or hermits. All work with or

for people in a public way. They are in politics, entertainment,

teaching, acting, the helping professions or advertising. So we can

conclude that his sign (whether you call it Taurus or Gemini) is

socially motivated and enjoys working with others.

 

In the sidereal zodiac Taurus is ruled by Venus and the exaltation of

the sociable Moon. This is why (on my web site) I've listed Taurus as

one of the feminine signs with motivation for communicating and

socializing with others. We see from this list of heavily Taurus

people that the socializing instinct can take diverse directions:

music and acting (performing), health service occupations, politics,

teaching, advertising, etc.: Sidereal Gemini (a Mercurial sign) often

combines with Taurus because dispositor Venus is there.

 

There are no physical occupations as such: no sports champions, truck

drivers or jobs involving hard labor. So we might say this sign tends

to be 'cultured.' Most of these professions require a certain amount

of education, or a specific talent is needed, such as ability in

music.

 

The more internal and sometimes anti-social traits of Tropical Taurus

don't at all fit with these people, which suggests that the

interpretation of sidereal Taurus is much different than Tropical

Taurus.

 

Most of these Taurus planets would be in Tropical Gemini. So I'd

ask, " Which Gemini traits can't be applied to the sociable and other-

oriented Sidereal Taurus, that is, related to either Venus or the

Moon or the sidereal Taurus triplicity--the triplicity of Mercury

(communication)? "

 

This has been a very enlightening exercise for me. Any discussion is

welcome from anyone, but please don't make statements like, " Well,

you're wrong. It's this way! " Just tell it like you see it (in your

opinion) without seeming to want to start an argument. Examples of

actual people are always very helpful.

 

P.S. This has been *exhausting*, so expect to see typos.

 

Cheers,
