Taurus Overview

 Every person is a unique composite of all the signs of the Zodiac.  The art of Astrology is oriented towards emphasizing the strength and purpose of each sign within any individual birth chart. Therefore, the following descriptions are purely introductory interpretations of each sign.  In other words, although a person’s Sun Sign is very significant, due to other factors considered on the basis of interpreting the ‘whole’ chart, which includes planets, aspects, and signs on the angles, a person born with the Sun sign of Aries, for example, can be strongly influenced by any one or more of the remaining eleven signs and in fact this is generally the case. If you know someone whose attitudes and behaviour seem to reveal another sign other than their actual Sun Sign rest assured that the Sign or its ruling planet are prominent in their Natal Chart. After the list of keywords below is a more detailed overview - scroll down.

Taurus is the second sign of the Zodiac, is the first of the Earth Element followed by Virgo and Capricorn, is of Fixed Quality and is ruled by Venus. The Zodiac glyph is the Bull, which is symbolic of a slow but sure, practical and hard working nature. Talented and interested in multiple streams of income, people born with their Sun sign as Taurus are usually happiest when close to home where they can garden, make, fix and tend to things and relax a lot. Beyond a usually socially acceptable appearance, Taurus people also like originality and will, at least, stick a feather in their hat, wear a scarf with polka dots or paisley or dawn a flashy tie. Sensual, comfortable and realistic, Taurus will do what they are asked but on their own terms and time. The classic issues bulls express include being stubborn, quietly proud and lazy. Getting a bull to change their mind or attitude requires practical rationale and patience on the part of others. Positively, Taurus born persons will bring a fine combination of sensitivity, sensibility and steadfastness to daily tasks and problem solving. Often very attractive, yet devoted and loyal, Taurus is a very good candidate to be a life-long mate. The basic challenges to overcome include over sensuality, rigid attitudes, beliefs and set behaviour patterns. Taurus is about priorities, values, personal possessions, practical reality and the cultivation of talents. Farmers, carpenters, builders, bankers, brokers, bakers, jewellers, artisans and metallurgists are common occupations.
