The planet Neptune was in the sign of Taurus from 1874 to 1889. It's important to note that Neptune takes about 164 years to make a complete cycle, spending about thirteen years in each sign, and therefore the interpretation applies to a generation rather than the individual. For a more individual interpretation you need to look at the house position of Neptune in your chart. Neptune will next be in Taurus during the later half of the 21st Century. The combination of idealistic Neptune and grounded Taurus indicates a generation who would have visionary ideals towards money, material resources and industrial production. This is a powerful combination since the sign of Taurus can ground and effectively implement the ideals put forward by the planet Neptune. Interestingly in these years laws were introduced to protect children from overwork and to differentiate them from adults and the NSPCC (National Society of Prevention to Cruelty Children) was formed.
