The Taurus zodiac sign, also known as the Bull, is a sign of the earth in astrology, and stubbornness, pride and determination are most closely associated with its inhabitants. The Taurus personality, ruled by Venus, is no stranger to the love of beauty and art, a characteristic that actually makes them good friends and fascinating individuals.

About Taurus Zodiac Sign

The second sign of the zodiac and the monarch of the second house, Taurus, is all about recompense. Unlike the game's Taurus affection, the standard Taurus personality enjoys the game's rewards. Think of physical pleasures and material goods, revelling in delicious abundance for those born under this symbol. This zodiac sign is tactile as well, loving a touch that is tender, even sensual.

The zodiac sign of Taurus adores warmth and loves to be surrounded by fun, calming things. They still favour a decent meal and a fine wine along these lines. The good life in all its ways, whether it be the arts or the art of their own creation (yes, these people are also artistic), is the Taurus-born heaven on earth.

Taurus Symbol Myth

The human link to the Taurus constellation is very ancient, reminiscent of the early bronze age. Many ancient civilizations used the sign of the Bull's location in the sky in the Northern Hemisphere for timekeeping to mark the initial Spring Equinox. Taurus was synonymous with blessing agriculture and marked the period for worshipping cultures like Sumeria, Babylon, Greece, Rome, and even New Mexico to plough and plant vital crops.

The beautiful mythological White Bull that Zeus turned into wooing Princess Europa is also portrayed by Taurus. The princess was borne across the Mediterranean Sea to the island of Crete by Zeus/The White Bull. There they conceived a son, "the Good King" Minos, who for many generations ruled over Crete and appeared in many legendary tales.

Taurus Season

Taurus starts on April 20 in the western tropical zodiac, starting with the centre and heart of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. This is the time of year when the heat and light of the sun are starting to intensify and the days towards the Summer Solstice are beginning to lengthen. The Taurus season is when the abundance and vitality of nature starts to flourish, becoming healthy and sustained, lending to the archetype of the Bull's earthy and generous qualities.

Taurus as Fixed Mode

Taurus is the first of the four fixed zodiac signs, both of which, in the middle phase of the four seasons, possess the elemental force of resilience and stability. Taurus starts in the middle of Spring, when the season is most "fixed" and set, lending to this sign's anchored, immovable, and somewhat rooted tendencies.

Taurus in Earth

The element of Taurus is the planet, the heaviest and strongest element, considered by ancient astrologers to be the densest type of matter. Earth reflects the very foundation in and on which all of nature is constructed, and nothing will take a material form without it. The affinity of Taurus to be methodical, patient, and trustworthy is all akin to the solid, heavy earth component.

Taurus: Domicile of Venus

Venus was given rulership of both Taurus and Libra in classical astrology. Venus' nocturnal/night house, a generous and pleasure-loving earth sign that enables Venus to harness and materialise all of her earthly gifts and bounties, was thought to be Taurus. Among these are passion, desire, great food and drink, and lovely, imaginative treasures.

Those born with Venus in Taurus will likely be attracted to these Venusian gifts to be produced, accumulated, and enjoyed. They may also have immense patience and loyalty that they can extend to their different crafts and relationships. Those born with Venus in her nocturnal home will take these attributes naturally when it comes to Venusian matters of friendliness, enjoyment, and sometimes indulgence.

Taurus: Ruling Body Parts

The throat, spine, thyroid gland, vocal tract or the vocal cords and ears are regulated by this symbol. They will also have a long or thick neck, which can be a stand-out attribute either way. There are often sweet sounding voices in Taurus, and often stunning singers have planets in Taurus.
