The Venus in Taurus Pattern
You love by holding — holding hands, holding space, holding on. Your love is physical, tangible, and rooted in the senses. But 'holding' can become 'holding on' — to partners who've outgrown the relationship, to possessions that define your worth, to routines that feel safe but have become prisons. Your growth comes from learning to hold loosely — loving fully while being willing to let go if love requires it.
