Taurus

Dates

The Sun is in Taurus from April 20 – May 21.

Taurus Symbology

Animal

The symbol for Taurus is the bull.

Glyph

The glyph is a circle with a crescent on top. It is somewhat reminiscent of the face of a bull.

Taurus Themes

Grounded

Taurus is one of the most grounded signs of the zodiac.

Steadfast

Those born under the sign of the Bull tend to move through life with patience and intention. They are not rushed and they rarely act on impulse. Once they decide something is worth their time they stay with it for the long haul.

Values

Money

Taurus people value what is real and lasting. This can show up as a love of the land, nature, good food, beautiful objects and the security which money can provide. Most of the land on Earth is owned by Taureans. Taurus appreciates the power of compound interest.

Preserves

Bulls have a natural instinct to preserve whether that is relationships traditions memories or what is in the pantry. Because of this, others often see them as deeply reliable and steady.

Common Sense

Practical

Of all the signs Taurus has an exceptional amount of common sense.

Sensuous

They usually choose the practical option and they trust what they can see, touch and build.

Consistent

The Venus ruled are solid workers who understand that slow and consistent effort brings real results.

Dependable

No Rush

As an earth sign, they are deliberate in their actions. They prefer to take their time and do things properly rather than rush and redo them later.

Commitment

When they commit to a person or task, they are loyal, dependable and sometimes very hard to shake.

Challenges

Resistance

The challenge for strong Taurus people (those with three or more planets in Taurus) is resistance. They just dig their heels in become stubborn or plod along when change is needed. Letting go can be difficult especially if they feel attached or secure where they are.

Body Parts

Throat

Taurus rules the throat, neck and voice which often gives them a strong steady way of speaking. When they do express themselves, their words tend to carry weight and sincerity. Many Taureans can sign.

Taurus Keyphrase

A key phrase used by Taurus is “I possess” and many Taureans use this opener or related ones like “I have…” to start their sentences.

Ruling Planet

Beautiful Venus is Taurus’s ruling planet.
