Nadir in Taurus

Nadir in Taurus means Taurus was at the lowest point of the chart, under the Earth, at the minute and place you were born. It is opposite the Midheaven and changes about every two hours, so it takes an exact birth time.

Taurus is a fixed earth sign. The nadir, or IC, is the point opposite the Midheaven: the part of the zodiac that was under the Earth, beneath your feet. It speaks of roots, home and what holds you up unseen.

Your roots

Roots in the earth

Your foundation may be the simple, physical sense of a place: a kitchen, a smell, the same chair. Perhaps home meant steadiness, or you have had to make that steadiness yourself. In private you probably need comfort, quiet and time, and you do not like to be hurried out of them. Perhaps what holds you up, unseen, is the feeling of solid ground, and the knowledge that you can make it wherever you are.
