Vṛṣabha — Taurus
Vṛṣabha is the 2nd rāśi, the face of the Kāla-puruṣa, ruled by Śukra. Parāśara's rāśi-svarūpa chapter gives it a colour, a direction, a varṇa and a manner of rising; Phaladīpikā states what a person born with Vṛṣabha rising is like. SIA computes the lagna and every graha's rāśi for the birth moment and fires the rules that name Vṛṣabha — the verses below are the ones it reads from.
