A Sun of Taurean qualities is rather a cool, somewhat reserved but very down-to-earth location which places much importance on material things. Accordingly, there may be a certain jealous element as this sign is rather self-comparative.

These tend to value property, material things and other comforts in their lives. They tend to like the simpler things, natural things. They usually relate with nature.

A consideration for Taurus Suns should be for the situation of The Moon as Taurus has a certain tendency for negative perceptions, and strong negative circumstances on the moon can make for quite a precarious situation. A Taurus sun that is unaspected and appears "quiet" can be misleading when there are underlying disorders within the chart, and trines to such a sun can actually make things worse, even though in any case they can appear to be nice guys. That said most Taurus suns appear in good, decent individuals.

With a stronger Mercury, especially when it falls in Aries communicative ability is greatly increased and those individuals bring much practical logic in what they say, coupled with an assertive delivery they can be quite persuasive. A natural Taurus Mercury is usually more reserved and perhaps even timid, and a Gemini Mercury more chatty but less consistent in earthly logic.

With an Aries Mercury the person will be less patient and more thick-headed. It is more confident in its opinions and more aggressive in communication style. There is less patience to work with details, making it more careless, although a prominent Saturn can rebalance this somewhat.

With a Gemini Mercury the mind is more theoretical and not as strongly defined. There's more curiosity and openmindedness, more of a chatty disposition. This can help aleviate Taurus' natural melancholic side.
