Neptune in Taurus

Fourteen years to cross one sign and 165 to go around them all are the round figures Broughton printed in 1898. Our calculation bears him out for Taurus, with Neptune resident from 1874 or 1875 until sometime between 1887 and 1889, and due back from 2038 or 2039 to 2051 or 2052.

Taurus holds two old assignments in Ptolemy, a house of Venus and the exaltation of the Moon. Neither Sepharial in 1920 with his chaos nor the notes Alan Leo printed before 1917 with their psychic plane discusses this sign. Modern astrology pairs Taurus with earth and solid goods, so modern readers often set it against a planet of dissolving boundaries.

People born across one of those spans have this in common and little else that the sign can establish. Nobody now living carries the earlier stay, and the later one is still ahead, so popular talk of what it means for a birth group belongs to modern commentary.
