The Taurus Zodiac Profile |
Dates: April 20th through May 20th
Taurus is the second Sign of the Zodiac. Moving beyond the birth
and first realization of Self represented by Aries, Taurus
begins to physically explore the world. As such, possessions and
physical touch are very important to Taureans. They tend to be
richly sensual, enjoying the good things in life and the
physical pleasures that come with them. Taurus is the Sign of
the Physical. As the second Sign, Taurus also rules the second
House: the House of Money and Possessions.

The Sign In Depth
The Astrological Symbol of Taurus is the Bull. The term
"bull-headed" applies to Taureans in both its positive
and negative connotations, and Taurus exemplifies the Fixed
Quality assigned to it. They are among the strongest Signs when
it comes to getting things done because of their reliable
persistence in moving toward completion of projects. On the
other hand, they can be very stubborn and argumentative. Within
the Zodiac, Taurus is opposite Scorpio, the Sign of group
possessions, so Taureans tend to be about personal assets rather
than group or family holdings. They can be self-indulgent, even
greedy, but they are immensely practical and stable.
Taurus is ruled by the Planet Venus. In ancient Roman mythology,
Venus (and her Greek equivalent, Aphrodite) was the Goddess of
Love, Beauty, and Pleasure. She represented joy, happiness, and
appreciation of beautiful things. On the negative side, her
appreciation for sweets and luxury could result in
overindulgence, and she could be materialistic. Venus rules both
Taurus and Libra. Taurus is the feminine, or night, aspect of
Venus; Libra is the masculine, or day. Both Signs have a great
appreciation for beauty: Taurus focuses on the beauty of
objects, and Libra prefers the beauty of other people. Taureans
have a great love for culture. It's important to them to feel
good. They often maintain extensive art collections are tend to
be artistic themselves, sometimes through singing. They enjoy
partnership and marriage, and use their charm -- as well as
their focused perseverance -- to work toward harmony and
personal security. Their sentimental, loyal, and romantic nature
is sometimes wounded when they are contradicted or given orders.
The Element associated with Taurus is Earth. Earth Signs are
practical: they tend to respond to the world by examining the
worth of each possible response, rather than through physical
action, intellect, or emotion. One of their great skills is
their ability to follow through and complete projects that
others may have abandoned through boredom or because it was too
difficult. Taureans are extremely patient and dependable. Their
ambition ensures that they are both hardworking and helpful to
others. Because of their association with Earth and their
general focus on building things, many Taureans are skilled
gardeners.
Taureans tend to be even tempered and solid citizens. Their need
for physical pleasure can lead to an overemphasis on money and
possessions to the point of materialism, but their innate
conservatism ensures that they are cautious and practical rather
than extravagant. They may be more focused on status than they
should be, and they may be perceived as snobs. However, despite
their opinionated appearance, they tend to be tolerant and
gentle, and they are always dependable.
In their leisure time, Taurus tends to enjoy outdoor activities
that allow them to get close to the Earth. They often enjoy
hiking. Like the Bull, they tend to be strong and well-built,
and may enjoy tests of strength. Conversely, their appreciation
of art and culture sends them to the opera and exclusive
galleries. In love relationships, Taurus is devoted, romantic,
and sometimes jealous!
Taurus rules the neck and throat. People born under Taurus may
suffer from sore throats, coughs, and strained neck muscles more
often than people born under other Signs. Brown and other earth
tones are Taurean colors, exemplifying their quiet and earthy
nature.
The great strength of the Taurus-born is their stability and
perseverance. Their methodical determination enables them to be
productive when other people have long since given up. They are
among the most dependable characters of the Zodiac.
