Taurus rising (a Taurus Ascendant) means Taurus was climbing over the eastern horizon when you were born. You come across as calm, steady and grounded. You come across as someone who will not be rushed, and people tend to relax around you without knowing why.
What Taurus rising means
Your rising sign describes how you meet the world: your first impression, your instinctive reactions and the way you begin things. With Taurus rising, that style is unmistakably Taurus, whatever your Sun sign is. Many people with a Taurus Ascendant say it describes them better than their Sun sign does — at least until people get to know them.
