Jupiter in Taurus

You appreciate and cultivate the things of the senses, have a taste for good food and luxury, and love your home. You have a green thumb in many areas, and are able to attract comfort and material possessions. Making money is second nature to you. Your belief system is a practical one, immediately applicable to your life and what's at hand. A steady worker, you could be a backer or moneyman. You tend to be stubborn, and may put on weight in mid-life.

Celebrities who have/had Jupiter in Taurus (and also in the first house for extra accentuation) are/were Joan Baez, James Coburn, Phillip K. Dick, John Lennon, Nick Nolte, Jane Powell, Richard Pryor, Pete Rose, Ringo Starr, Leopold Stokowski, and William Howard Taft. Keep in mind that Jupiter remains an entire year in each sign, so that anyone born in the same year as any of these people would also have Jupiter in Taurus; but the additional criterion that Jupiter also be in the first house makes the placement much more unusual and accentuates the Taurus quality as well.
