Strengths
Steadiness, patience and a taste for quality. Taurus finishes what it starts and knows how to create comfort around itself. The Hierophant gives it a footing in values that do not change with fashion.

Stubbornness and a fear of change. The Hierophant in shadow turns into dogma: “that is how it's done” instead of “this is better”. Taurus can cling to what lost its meaning long ago.
