Sankaracharya has so interpreted it in several portions of his commentary.*

Das Says
Taurus in the Ascendant bestows a pleasing face, small thick neck, plump thighs, broad shoulders & a well-built muscular body. Amiable by temperament, artistic in nature, libidinous in character, you can be categorized as essentially materialistic.
Fond of luxury, favoring romance but tending to cultivate bad company. Self-respecting & happy, mostly in the middle & latter portions of life.
Saturn, though He owns the 9th & 10th, produces a Yoga which is hard to collect on. It's a Yoga, but a difficult one to fully realize depending on placement of Saturn in the chart.
Venus ruled periods should be good for money. Mars ruled periods produce financial prosperity; Jupiter periods are mixed.
You like to win, will have the tendency of gathering wealth right from youth, will have broad & strong forehead, nose, cheeks & lips, be industrious, fortunate, devoted to parents, liberal, will have many expenses, be very short tempered, be phlegmatic & windy in humor, be the father of (many) daughters, will insult your own people, be less religion, be interested in affairs for romance, fickle-minded, be fond of food & drinks & be endowed with various kinds of clothes & ornaments.
These are general tendencies caused by the ascendant sign, subject to great modification by the entire horoscope.
Sthana (Domain)
Rashi & Pati
Phul (fruits)
House 1 - Appearances
Pres. Warren Harding
Pres. Herbert Hoover
Vrishabha [Taurus]
Physical appearance depends on condition of D1/D9 Shukra.
Artistic, beauty-loving folk with powerful sensual urges. Attracted to wealth & luxury, fine foods & furnishings. Personally identified with history, accumulated financial & artistic values, & traditional lore.
House 2 - Values
Mithuna [Gemini]
Moral & aesthetic values are flexible, not overly traditional. Likes to explore new ideas, depending on Budha may also be an avid student of history. Most important are clear communication, good story-telling, and liaisons. Enthusiastically involved in explaining things, often from a broad historical perspective but their personal energy in invested in the theory of the moment.
House 3 - Mental Process
Karka [Cancer]
Mental health vacillates. Mind is overactive. Depending on Chandra & occupying graha in house-3, the thinking process may be brilliant or berserk, tyrannical or tame. Derives emotional satisfaction & a sense of belonging from the act of talking; enters into debates and planning sessions with emotional motive. Often has a need to prove something through competitive argument, but Kuja must be strong to win in logical debate.
House 4 - Home, family, security
Simha [Leo]
Identified with home& family, although he is not much available at home. Depending on Surya's condition, tends to use the home as a base for political or ethical action, as a theatrical setting for development of Self. If Surya supports it, can be an excellent teacher, particularly regarding issues of individual morality.
children, creativity, authority, speculation, politics, theatre
Kanya [Virgo]
Dynamic self-expression finds a wellspring of energy for intellectualization. Natural critic & scholar. If Budha is strong, extraordinary intelligence leads to successful publication of his ideas.
Loves children, and identifies deeply with them. Acts more like a child than a parent unless Shani is strong. Inspired by their fresh perspective on old questions, enchanted by their creativity.
Thula [Libra]
Health can be compromised by indulgence. Loves socializing around food, alcohol, and in beautiful company. Always seeking a balanced resolution to conflict. Can enter where angels fear to tread, believing that he has the solution.
Depending on condition of Shukra, will tend to be well-liked and respected for his sincerity if not for having workable solutions.
They get into trouble during periods of the 6th lord just like everyone else, but their natural desire to provide everyone with access to beauty and truth is their "get out of jail free" card. Unless Shukra is fallen, will avoid serious conflict most of the time.
Vrischika [Scorpio]
Marriage is sexual & competitive. Powerful sensuality. Unless Kuja is dignified, conflict emerges in the marriage. A tendency to marry the competitor, a professional equal, rather than seek traditional public-private compatibility. Wants excitement in the marital scene.
Contracts, agreements, legal discussions, all types of advising are vigorously, actively pursued. Divorce is common, unless Kuja is tamed. Likes to argue.
Spouse is productive, ambitious, vigorous, insightful, & likes to win. Intimacy is easy to achieve.
Joint assets of marriage, secret matters, in-laws, therapeutics, healing, taboos, taxes, tantra
Dhanus [Sagittarius]
Joint assets of marriage are generously shared. Spouse contributes wealth, well & cheerfully, unless Guru is damaged. l
Spouse hails from a religious, optimistic, successful family of equal or higher social standing than the native. Spouse has a liberal, distributive outlook.
Deep healing is easy to access. All forms of therapeutic touch and talk are available; Guru will show the level of permission to access healing modalities.
Wealth from hidden sources.
Makara [Capricorn]
The inspiration & consolation of Religion is not easily accessible. Native tends toward a positivistic, materialistic worldview. Sees religious authority & priestly ritual with a skeptical, common-sense eye.
Although deprived of access to & respect for ancient spiritual traditions, the native can when Shani is exceptionally strong with nodal influence, set himself up as his own priest. Typically he seeks authority to transmit an structural materialistic viewpoint as a cure for religious excess.
prestige, public regard
Kumbha [Aquarius]
Hard working and respectful of the hierarchy in his chosen profession. Will follow the rules laid down by his predecessors for gaining the social credentials necessary to access high prestige. Then, works hard, and consistently, to achieve his social goals.
Although graha in and drishti to house-10 make a critical difference in determining the outcome of career, Vrishabha lagna is advantageous. If the native also benefits from a Shani drishti to karma bhava, he will be admirably steady in his work, and praised for his disciplined determination.
Meena [Pisces]
Guru confers a natural advantage for earnings and mobility in the marketplace. The elder sibling is generally helpful, and mentors appear along the path to help the native expand his circle of associations. If Brihaspati is auspiciously placed, income is generous and many pleasant, optimistic friends support the native's life endeavors.
Mesha [Aries]
The meditation& inner sanctuary house is disrupted by Kuja's vigorous physical energy. Unless Kuja is dignified, sitting meditation may be out of the question. However, energized discussions on cosmic matters and many forms of hunting, including hunting of spirits and insights, are favored under Vrishabha lagna.
Beneficial for active work in sanctuary spaces such as think-tanks, hospitals, ashrams, private elite conferences, other activities shrouded from public view. Also suggests propensity toward extramarital engagement, but as always this depends on Kuja's role and any graha inhabiting or sending drishti to house-12, as well as Kuja's disposition in D-9.
Summary of Graha Lordships for Vrishabha Lagna
L-4
Surya karaka for rational self, soul, and ethical awareness, controls the native's childhood home, and one's subsequent access to social and emotional security, including education.
L-3
The highly fluctuating & impressionable Chandra controls the domain of mental tasking and business administration Relationships with neighbors, co-workers, and routine daily interactions are infused with emotional feeling. The native feels more than average empathy in mundane interactions, and has a more psycho-intuitive approach to training & administration than normal.
Even routine daily conversations are personalized. Native can be moody & sensitive to slights or insults, especially within the circle of friends and family. Needs reassurance that he is wanted on the team.
L-7, L-12
Vital and competitive Kuja controls the marriage & sanctuary domains. Spouse is competitive, active, sometimes aggressive. Spouse will work and play hard. Research & vigorous, goal-oriented foreign travel are favored. Sleep is less peaceful for these natives; sitting meditation may be unfavorable; and bed pleasures are activated.
Kuja dosha is less harmful for Vrishabha lagna because Kuja sends drishti to swakshetra, which tends more to give the spouse a strong personality rather than harm marriage relations.
L-2, L-5
Conversational & sexual Budha controls the domains of wealth & values,
L-8, L-11
Wise and expansive Guru
L-6, L-1
Sweet and sensual Shukra
L-9, L-10
