Taurus is a fixed sign that arrives during the middle of spring! Taurus is in it for the long haul, so they don’t mind following up the tails of exciting Aries season. The Bull is about substance, not flash, and their season gives them a chance to show what they’re made of. This is a time that we can enjoy the beauty of spring and look forward to the summer months ahead without feeling rushed to do anything particular.
And as we say goodbye to impulsive Aries, we welcome a much more calm and logical perspective on life. The tradeoff is a much more grounded earthy approach. Taurus season helps us get ahead in a slower, much more thought out way. It’s a good reminder to stop and smell the roses and other flowers that are beginning to blossom. Beauty is all around us now, and Taurus definitely appreciates the finer things in life. Good food, wine, designer clothes, and expensive perfume, anyone?
Taurus is ruled by the element earth along with Virgo and Capricorn. Earth signs core characteristics are: practical, patient, hard-working, loyal, productive, controlling, reliable, and grounded. Earth signs are the builders of the zodiac. They manifest their desires into tangible realities. As the first of the first sign trio, Taurus has the closest relationship to the earth and takes on most of the elements’ traits.
Ruled by romantic Venus, earth sign Taurus is all about love, beauty and money—and they’re extremely stubborn when it comes to getting and keeping those things in their lives! Which is why the steadfast Bull—the sturdy Taurus symbol—suits them perfectly.
Typical Taurus natives are down-to-earth, logical people, but their stubborn streak is the stuff of legend. The Bull, always poised with its head down and horns protruding, is ready to defend the things it’s worked hard to obtain and considers its rightful possessions. Have you ever tried to lead a bull somewhere it doesn’t want to go? Good luck!
The Taurus symbol is fully represented by the head and horns of the Bull and isn’t hard to distinguish from other signs. Much like Taurus, their glyph and symbol are very much “what you see is what you get,” as most Taurus natives are valued and admired for their straightforward natures and sturdiness.
