Its as I said.
Sun in Taurus energy doesn't have the same intensity as Sun in Aries.The Sun is exalted in Aries. When in Taurus, there is (atleast metaphorically speaking) less of a "glare".
There is a reason why that is. Venus rules Taurus. And Venus is not intense as it tends towards mildness.
Where Aries is impulsive, Taurus is deliberate. Where Aries is instinctual, Taurus is logical. Where Aries says "do it now". Taurus is "maybe, i will do it later. When conditions are more conducive". Where Aries is drawn to challenges, Taurus likes the path of least resistance. Where Aries exerts energy outwards. Taurus prefers to conserve energy towards its centre.
You will see a marked change in your approach to life and priorities within the first 5 degrees of the sign. It will feel like what mattered a lot before, seems to matter less now.
You may adjust your goals so that they are more aligned to pleasure. The "I am " and attraction to what will stoke the drive for Sun in Aries, becomes diluted when in "I own" Taurus. In the latter, there will be emphasis on storing, withholding or restraining energy as a resource. The ego invested in the latter.
The Taurus energy may steer the next 30 years of your life towards a grounded approach to life. No need to burn the tyres driving so fast.They are pricey. And you spent good money on them.
And because Sun will progress into your 9th house, transis of Pluto or fixed signs to it will inspire 9th house as well as 12th house (Leo ruled) related themes.
With Sun in Tau in 9th, there is a need to "distance" oneself from things to gain a perspective and cool one's heels.
This is not like crisis oriented 8th where the upheavals are right at the door. And you have little choice but to keep on dealing with them by rolling with the punches i.e. being in the eye of the storm constantly.
Perhaps with this progression, there will be a need to do something to enhance oneself towards areas of either materialism or physical security? However, self esteem centres most of the choices made.
Maybe you take on higher education to earn a degree and enhance your self esteem? Maybe you study something related to business or money? Perhaps agriculture? Typically something that will make you feel more comfortable in your own skin.
Sun also ruling the 12th house may suggest that it could be distance learning? Learning in another country? The institution of learning could be in another country? Or that the learning is more open ended and is not limited to time? Whatever it is, the 12th house and 9th house themes will be combined.
You may be drawn to Taurus folks or those with placements in Taurus. You may feel like you express yourself(Sun) well with them(this in addition with those who have Aries placements.
