Bounds in Taurus
The 5 bounds
- 0° — 8° Venus 8°
- 8° — 14° Mercury 6°
- 14° — 22° Jupiter 8°
- 22° — 27° Saturn 5°
- 27° — 30° Mars 3°
Meaning
Taurus bounds open with a wide eight-degree Venus — the planet in its own home, the classical Taurean «love of comfort.» 8-14° Mercury — making value through speech, voice, presentation; adds mind to the concrete Taurean. 14-22° Jupiter — large wealth potential; financial abundance expands. 22-27° Saturn — Taurus's structuring side; long-term property, persistent wealth. 27-30° Mars — the last three degrees are the most difficult: anger trapped in comfort, bodily endurance tested.
How to read it
If a planet sits in Taurus's last three degrees (27-30°) — it falls in Mars's bound. Classical texts read this as «destructive bound»; the planet's tightness risk reads there.
⚠ Shadow
Possessiveness (Venus excess), stagnation (Saturn rigid), or anger eruption (Mars final degree) — varies by which bound rules.
