The three decans of Taurus
The three decans of Taurus are the Five of Pentacles, the Six of Pentacles and the Seven of Pentacles. Born early in the sign, you might read the Five of Pentacles: a lean time, with help available if you reach for it. Mid-sign may suit the Six of Pentacles, where giving and receiving come into balance. Late in the sign, the Seven of Pentacles asks you to pause, review your efforts and let growth take its time.
First decan: Five of Pentacles
Second decan: Six of Pentacles
Third decan: Seven of PentaclesStrengths
You are patient, loyal and practical. You notice quality, and you keep going when others tire. People feel safe around you.
Challenges
The Hierophant can lean towards habit for its own sake, and comfort can slow you down. Notice when you are holding on simply because it is familiar.
In love
In love you offer warmth, loyalty and a steady hand. You enjoy small shared rituals, good food and time together. Try saying what you need out loud rather than hoping it is understood.
At work
You do well in work that rewards care and consistency. You prefer a clear path and fair pay for good effort. Take a look now and then at whether a change might serve you better than staying put.
Advice from the cards
Honour your steady pace, and keep one small thing in your life open to change. Comfort is lovely, and so is a little curiosity.
