Greetings, Brother / Sister!
I saw just a very significant percent of charts to say the least - of greatest mathematicians and artists with stellium or other insane placement in Taurus in all critical degrees possible. Imagine horrid stellium in some 2th house in Taurus with almost all chart there in 15, 25, Caput Algol and everywhere - and guess whose chart is it? Right, Nobel price laureate De Sitter with his greatest life possible, no violence or other "standard" Taurus alcoholic crap. Extreme prominence of Venus sign emphasized like that can give brilliant life if sublimated into Venus affair such as art or exact science (because of their beauty). The other notorious example just find most prominent ballet choreographers ever and you will find violent Taurus degree in their chart - just go and look them all up - almost all of the most outstanding ones have this Taurus thing. These are extreme Venus degrees that if not bring alcoholism or apehood, then bring greatest beauty work achievement.
I saw them just too often there. Much more often than say Leo 15 or 25 which apparently deal mostly with the other spheres. What would really put Taurus into place is self-discipline, especially providing you have a best planet for discipline in them. Your chart is talking to you via these: this is an answer: those arts and science that demands most insane self-discipline will put these into place. Why? Because these are of extreme pleasures abuse in past lives if we are talking about karmic debts type of them (they can work differently, if in your case they wreck havoc it means they got out of control). You might reverse it by insane self-discipline such as Ancient / classic ballet choreography demands. That's why people who worked their ass of at this sublimated them and had good life. If you feel uninterested in specifically mentioned affairs, I put them just as the good examples of the level of dedication and self-discipline. You of course might be creative and choose your own way, of the same level of self-sacrifice and self-discipline. You have to find path in life that will be so desirable and holly for you that your heart will lead you to self-discipline for its sake naturally. This all starts with heart call.
In regards to pleasures indulgence problem I wonder how you would feel about this sermon - I think this pretty deals with karma accumulated in predominantly Taurus spheres:
From the title, one might thing that this matter here will be judged with scorn or with writing and issuing penalties for those that engage in these human processes. In the Path of the Gods which is Spiritual Satanism, there is no such topic. Denying these urges and not properly recognizing...

My answer on the historical account of Taurus aesthetics:
Currently reading Homer's Odyssey. The sacrifice of bulls is mentioned and described there quite often. I read on JoS that sacrifices are not acceptable to our gods. Was this just the “ignorance” of the time?

In the regions full of this iconography there were also many teachings in regards to dealing with Taurusian passions:

Confucius says:
"One who is strict with one's self rarely fails."
I saw chart full of 15 degree of everything including all fixed cross. This very much dealt with the problem of excess in all Venus-related affairs. Thought highest purest soul and most sacred literally Tuatha de Danann nature made it through by itself, as well as world genius unparalleled sublimation did. There were zero greed, gluttony, jealousy, envy nor other ape marginal filth mentioned in sermon. Most passions were a sanctity and sublimated into the art. There was also much self-discipline in lower things. As a result no major problems in life except those brought by compassion, that eventually led this person to complete ruin and death.
Try to listen to your experience and fate: they are the answer. Fate tells you what you lack. It is your karmic mirror. For example people with Leo on AC and Aquarius on DC might suffer from lack of attention as karmic debt: this teaches them to be more attentive and considerate to others and to this world because Leo naturally tends to start in its lower state from more self-centrist point, and when they do their fate's bidding they start to win.
