Taurus in Vedic Astrology (Vrishabha Rashi)
In Vedic astrology (Jyotish Shastra), Taurus is known as Vrishabha Rashi (वृषभ). While Western astrology determines your sign based on the Sun's position at birth, Vedic astrology uses the Moon's position — which is why your Vedic sign (Moon sign) may differ from your Western sign (Sun sign).
Vrishabha is ruled by Venus (शुक्र) and belongs to the Earth (पृथ्वी) element. Key personality traits include being patient, reliable, sensual, stubborn.
Our Taurus horoscope predictions are computed from real planetary transit data using the Lahiri Ayanamsa (sidereal zodiac). For the most accurate reading, we recommend knowing your Moon sign from a complete free Kundli analysis.
Our Taurus horoscope uses Vedic astrology (Jyotish), which is based on the Moon sign rather than the Sun sign. Taurus corresponds to Vrishabha (वृषभ) in Vedic terminology. Predictions are calculated from real-time planetary positions using the Swiss Ephemeris.

Taurus is the Western zodiac name, while Vrishabha (वृषभ) is the Vedic equivalent. Both cover the same celestial region.

Vedic predictions are considered more precise for daily guidance.
