Taurus First Decan
The Taurus first decan (Apr 20–29) is double-Venus — the most sensual, steady, and pleasure-loving expression of Taurus.
The first decan of Taurus runs from roughly April 20 to April 29, the first 10° of the sign. Taurus is ruled by Venus, and the first decan doubles that rulership — making this the purest Taurus: sensual, grounded, loyal, and devoted to comfort and beauty. People here embody the steady, earthy pleasure of the bull at rest.
Double-Venus energy makes this decan especially warm, affectionate, and attuned to the senses. These are the lovers of good food, soft textures, music, and security. Patient and dependable to the point of immovable, they build slowly and hold what they value. The shadow is stubbornness and a resistance to change that can shade into possessiveness.
A Sun, Moon, or rising in Taurus' opening degrees is the bull at its richest — double-Venus earth that savors, endures, and loves to keep what it has.
