Taurus Rising - The Protector

Taurus rising is looking after you whether you want them to or not.  They can't help it.  Constantly on the look out for any potential danger, Taurus rising people are the first to notice and alert you to any potential hazard. Your Taurus rising friend will be the one who gives you polite suggestions on improving the safety of your home or reminds you to wear to your seatbelt. 

Their calm, relaxed exterior is hiding a vigilantly-aware, inner nature.  Although they sometimes seem to just plod along (they tend to walk slowly) without a care in the world, they will be first notice the child who is walking too close to the water's edge or even the drink that is about to get knocked over and spill onto the new carpet. This is why Taurus rising people make excellent caregivers.  It's in their nature.  If there are children around, the Taurus rising person will look after them.  It doesn't matter whose children they are or what the setting is.  They will anticipate any child's next move and scan the surrounding for any possible danger. 

Taurus rising people really are great to have around, especially if you are one of the more mindless types.  They will happily help you out without criticism.  Their polite and kind nature can be a blessing to all.  Going on an outing to the beach?  Taurus rising will make sure they pack enough sunblock for everyone.  They will remember the towels, snacks and water so no one gets dehydrated.

More than a Taurus sun or moon, Taurus rising exhibits the best qualities of the sign.  Somehow the negatives of Taurus that show themselves when the sign is in the sun or moon position don't appear with Taurus rising.  There are no long rants about politics or whatever the issue of the day may be.  And that stubborn Taurus nature which can be a bit annoying to some, doesn't show itself so much when Taurus is rising.  Instead, Taurus rising delivers a dependable, caring and cautious personality who can really help out in this sometimes chaotic world.
