Rashi 2 of 12
Vrishabh rashi (Taurus)
वृषभ राशि
Vrishabh (Taurus) is the second rashi, the sign of the bull. Your rashi is the sign the Moon stood in when you were born, so it describes the mind and daily moods more than looks or career. A Vrishabh Moon tends to be steady, sensual and slow to change course.

How Vrishabh people think and feel
The Moon is exalted in Vrishabh, the classical way of saying the mind feels at ease here. It likes regular meals, a familiar house and people it trusts. Change is not refused, but it is taken slowly, and only after the ground feels firm under the feet.
Fixed earth makes a quiet kind of stubbornness. A Vrishabh Moon seldom argues loudly. It simply does not move. Venus rules the sign, so the senses matter: good cooking, soft fabrics, a tidy home, a song in the evening. Comfort is not a luxury for this Moon but a need.
Strengths and blind spots
Reliability is what people notice first. If a Vrishabh Moon says it will come, it comes. Relatives hand it the long jobs: the wedding accounts, the paperwork on a family plot, the care of an elderly aunt. It finishes what it starts, without fuss, and is seldom thanked enough.
Holding on is where Vrishabh stumbles. Old habits, old furniture and old grudges are all kept. Comfort can slide into laziness, and a no said once can stay a no for years. This Moon grows when it tries a new method before the old one has stopped working, not after.
Work and money
Think of the oldest shop in a market town: same counter, same family, same sweets for fifty years. That kind of steadiness suits Vrishabh. Venus also favours work tied to beauty and comfort, such as food, fabric, jewellery, music, hospitality and banking. It likes a job where effort turns into something solid.
Saving comes naturally. Gold, land and a well-stocked kitchen feel more real to a Vrishabh Moon than numbers on a screen. Earnings tend to grow slowly and hold. The risk lies at the other end: lavish spending on the table and the wardrobe, or hoarding what could be enjoyed.
Love, marriage and family
Venus, the planet of love and marriage, rules this sign, so partnership matters a great deal. Love here is physical, loyal and practical. It shows in food cooked, gifts chosen with care and simply being around. Speeches are rare, but a Vrishabh Moon remembers anniversaries and the dishes you like.
The second sign is the natural place of family, food and lineage, and Vrishabh lives up to it. Around the festival table, this spouse keeps traditions alive: the sweets, the puja arrangements, the old recipes. Jealousy and possessiveness are the usual points of friction, and they ease once trust feels secure.
