| This particular configuration also alludes to the chin and Adam’s apple of man’ s throat. The ancient symbology for the glyph is that it is a sun (circle) supporting the receptive energy of the moon (cup-shaped “horns” of the glyph). The “cup” is allegorical to the cup of life representing material wealth and power. The combination of Sun and Moon also are indicative of a strong force of will. Ruling Planet Venus was venerated by the Romans as Goddess of Beauty. In the Roman mind this was not just the beauty of romantic love or physical human form. Venus ruled over the areas of the arts (the ultimate in beauty), pleasure, and the realm of the emotions. Astrologically Venus has long been believed to influence the Taurean personality towards a love of luxury. Placement and Symbology of placement in the Zodiac Taurus is the second sign of the Zodiac. As Aries is the initiator, Taurus could be considered the Maintainer. Taurus is quite capable of taking the idea initiated by Aries and run it all the way to the final payoff. Duality Duality in Western Astrology is much like Yin/Yang energy in the Eastern Tradition. The idea of opposites came from the Pythagorean School of Ancient Greece. Taurus with its connection with the Moon and receptive energy is considered to have feminine energy. The feminine assignation was that it was receptive energy rather than forceful (or masculine) energy. Polarity This is the sign that is opposite the Zodiac Wheel from Taurus – Scorpio. While Taurus may focus more on personal possessions or comfort, Scorpio speaks of legacies and shared possessions. Taurus energy paired with Scorpio energy is sure to win on a fund raising effort! Cardinal/Mutable/Fixed A Sign is either Cardinal, Mutable or Fixed. Of course, it’s not difficult to guess that Taurus is a fixed sign. Quiet, affectionate, and steady, it is difficult to get a Bull to change their mind. Many a farmer can tell you a rather uncomfortable story about a recalcitrant bull who didn’t want to move into a different pasture. Solid and stable, sometimes to a fault, Taureans are emblematic of a Fixed sign. A good perk-up for a Taurus who’s had a rough week might just be to have food delivered and a quiet night at home. Dominant Keywords I have/I maintain. The Bull keeps his cows under a watchful eye. The Bull consolidates and reevaluates before embarking on a new mission. The Bull rarely does without, because the craving for comfort is so strong that those born under this sign will more often than not, go the extra mile to ensure a quality comfort zone for their surroundings. Most Likeable Trait Your dependability is nearly legendary. Your word is your bond and you don’t let anything get in the way of that. When you say you are going to do something folks can pretty much take that to the bank. Lucky Day Bull’s would do well to capitalize on their lucky day of Friday to schedule new meetings, start new ventures or even make a difficult choice. Danger A Bull in full rage is an awesome sight to see. Many a country kid can tell a story about old Farmer Whosit’s Bull who used to scare the stuff right out of them when they had to walk by his pasture on the way to school. Bulls can loose themselves in their passions – even having a tendency to sometimes be in violent situations that have to do with love, and, less often but still a caution – money. Cities and Countries The following cities and countries are associated with the sign of Taurus. Although not normally given to a strong wanderlust, Bull’s may appreciate either stories of or, in many cases, actually visiting one of these places. Here in the states there’s good old St. Louis. Dublin, Lucerne, and Leipzig are also cities associated with Bull/Taurus energy. If you’re looking to take a Taurus away on a vacation, visiting Greece, Ireland or Switzerland will normally garner an enthusiastic response from those born under this sign. Element Not surprisingly, Taurus is aligned with the element of Earth. People born under Earth signs tend to be just that – down to earth. Practical and solid as the earth they walk on, Bull’s are connected to the abundance of earth energy and the practicality that entails. The down side is that makes it easy for the Bull to get stuck in a rut. Metal Although silver and gold are always nice, the metal aligned with the sign of Taurus is copper. You may find that new Taurus friend may appreciate a nice set of copper candlesticks more than a fancy necklace…but, be practical… maybe a copper banded umbrella stand (which might be cheaper) is what she needs more. Taureans are above all practical. They won’t be offended if you ask what they prefer – but if you promise – deliver on the promise or the Bull will never forget. |

Magical Birthstone Stone The Emerald is your magical birthstone. This gemstone carries the power to protect against infidelity and deceits. It also carries the assurance of loyalty. Forgetful Bulls would do well to wear this stone as it is also thought to help improve memory. Of course, emeralds in any form (raw or as jewelry) are a great gift. |
| Stones of Power For a Taurus who wants to connect with or work with their connection with earth energy it would be good to study and work with the following stones: Diamond, blue lace agate, and rose quartz. Taurus has a special affinity for these stones and you will find them helpful. Need an extra boost of energy for the day? Try a nice rose quartz necklace or bracelet! Special Color Matching your Magical Birth Stone, your special color is green. Green is the color of the natural food of the Bull. Green is the color of abundance. Add sparkle to your step and confidence to your stride by wearing green. Flowers: The Violet and Poppy are directly aligned with your sign. Older associations also link the Lily of the Valley with the sign of Taurus. If you want to turn a Taurean’s fancy, a small poesy of violets will get you a long way! Trees Two of the oldest trees known to man are associated with the Bull. The mighty and tenacious Cypress and the recurrent food-granting Apple speak of the patience and comfort desiring traits of Taurus. Animals Okay, so it’s not a long stretch to see that cattle are the animal ruled by the sign of the Bull. Myths and Legends The Bull features in legends in nearly every culture. Minos, the Minotaur; Cerridwen of Celtic association; and the Egyptian mythology of Isis and Osiris all point to the old and honored stories about the Bull. Along with these legends and mythologies, a study of the Roman mythology of Venus may help understanding. Famous People Remember that “throat” thing? Well, here’s a list of famous Taureans who are emblematic of the “throat” thing. |
