adverse planet. However when with Saturn he is not wholly adverse.
Taurus: Saturn and the Sun are benefics and can cause Rajayoga. Jupiter, Venus and
Moon are not auspicious and may prove death inflicting palnets. Mercury can cause
some Yoga.

Jupiter together behave in the same manner as for Aries birth. The Moon is the prime
killer. (Some replace the Moon with Saturn).
