You’re frequently promoting things and catching the wave of new trends. You’re excellent at promotion, marketing, publicity, and generally getting your message across. These are areas where you are a pioneer or a crusader.
Some associations with this placement are traveling alone or for adventure, independent thinking and belief systems (or belief systems that center around the individual’s responsibilities), and studies of Aries-related topics such as martial arts, policing, etc.). Your beliefs and opinions are unhampered by tradition, and they’re straightforward, direct, and uncomplicated. You’d rather not overthink things.

Some associations of this placement are travel for pleasure and studying or writing about Taurus-associated topics (food, comfort, money/banking, for example).
You largely respect the rules as you are especially averse to chaos and disorder. While it may take a while to convince you to travel, once you do, it can be a strong draw.
