Houses

The 12 Houses of astrology are symbolic of the all the departments that make up human life. The planets and zodiac signs will manifest themselves most strongly in the sphere of life represented by the House in which they fall on your chart. Houses are not "energies" like the elements or planets, nor do they color the expression of energies like the zodiac signs do. The houses are WHERE these energies are most likely to manifest. The houses are the fields of experience, not the experience themselves.

With a Taurean Ascendant, you may be slow, but you’re not one to be underestimated. Your determination gets you to your goals, bit by bit, day by day.
You have an artistic streak, and you’re patient in how you apply it. You know that being creative is not enough, that in order to create value in this world, creativity must be combined with skills, and so you patiently go about learning those skills in order to build a satisfying career.
The rhythms of life flow through you, and you are careful to regularly tune into them, so as to not get caught out of sync. This also helps you to be good with people, as they feel your harmony and enjoy being around it.
In a crisis you’re imperturbable. When surprising or alarming event happens, you’re first instinct is to rationally assess what’s going on around you. Others may be abandoning ship, but you take out your telescope and serenely turn round 360 degrees. You don’t see pressure as an excuse for not staying aware.
Sometimes your insistence on doing everything at your own pace infuriates others. And when they insist that you speed up your work, you can get pretty angry in return. Instead try calmly highlighting the results you’re delivering, and be sure to continue delivering those results. Then they’ll respect your process, and maybe even learn a bit about it for themselves.
