Astrological Sun Signs: Taurus in Brief



Those born between April 21st and May 21st are ruled by Taurus, whose astrological symbol is the head of a bull. When the sun enters the sign of Taurus, people start to get restless. In ancient times, farmers would have hitched up their oxes and methodically plowed the earth and began planting seeds. Today, Taurus represents planning and the saving of resources so that they can be allocated in a practical and responsible manner. This is the season of fertility and the warmer weather allows us to enjoy the sensuous sights, sounds, and smells of the earth as the summer approaches.

Like the Earth itself, Taurus is productive, strong, dependable, patient, slow, and practical. The bull is also generous when treated with respect but can become stubbornly furious when crossed or pushed too far. The part of the body ruled by Taurus is the neck and the voice.

People born under the sign of Taurus function best through concentration and stubborn adherence to a preconceived plan.
