Taurus

Taurus (Vrishaba—Bull)

Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac, reflecting security, stability, and comfort. Represented by the rooted and unshakable bull, the symbol of this sign, the energy of Taurus reflects the love to bask in the spring sun, enjoying the scent of daisies. Venus, the planet of love, luxury, and sensuality, rules this sign. It indicates a predilection for nature, the arts, and all that is beautiful. This feminine, yin sign is receptive and sympathetic. Its keyword is “I have”, reflecting a sense of ownership for everything that provides a sense of groundedness and security. Taurus is one of the earth signs, implying a practical and down-to-earth nature.  It reveals a desire for a solid structure as it provides a foundation to operate happily. Consequently, the energy of Taurus may attract wealth and material possessions. The sign Taurus is associated with gardening, as it implies a love of connecting with the earth to reap her bounty. There is a desire to feel good, and enjoy appetizing food and quality wines. The fixed energy of Taurus indicates a solid, sturdy, and dependable nature. This sign denotes a resoluteness to follow projects to completion. However, this tenacity should not turn into stubbornness. And like the peaceful bull who represents this sign, anger can be aroused in challenging situations.

The sign Taurus may indicate a tendency to be materialistic, comfort loving, and fond of acquiring things, especially those that are beautiful and luxurious. This sense of acquisition can extend to the partner who may be viewed as a prized possession. The lesson for the sign Taurus is to not get trapped in the material world of status, wealth, and possessions. It relates to the need to be able to determine what to do with all it possesses. Energy must keep flowing so that it does not stagnate. This is accomplished when time, energy, and material resources are used in a constructive, helpful and sharing way.

Taurus is associated with the neck, which supports the head and attaches it to the body. In addition, the neck contains the two channels most necessary for sustenance: the windpipe for air, and the esophagus for food.
