Taurus

Taurus Zodiac Sign

When we think of Taurus, the image that usually comes to mind is a bull or calf calmly grazing in a peaceful meadow. But the origins of this zodiac sign’s symbol are actually much darker. If you look up at the stars that make up the Taurus constellation, you’ll notice something interesting: unlike many other zodiac signs, Taurus doesn’t look like a whole animal. Instead, it appears as just the front half of a bull, charging forward with its horns. This isn’t a coincidence. The most famous ancient Greek myth tied to Taurus is the story of the labyrinth and the Minotaur—a fearsome creature that demanded human sacrifices.

Weirdly enough, the description of this sign bears no resemblance to that monstrous legend.

With the soft, loamy grass under your feet, a loaf of fresh rosemary bread with olive oil, and your headphones on with music pouring in your ears, you are a Taurus in heaven. The lovely rays of your ruling planet Venus infuse your life with an ‘Earth Mother’ vibe, in all of her abundance, romance, and pleasure. Taurus is the second sign in astrology, and you were born between April 19st and May 21st, right in the heart of spring’s warmest days. Symbolized by the powerful and magical bull, you are a Fixed earth sign who delights in your home and garden. You love to take things easy and the simple, traditional pleasures in life make you deeply happy.

Famous fellow Taureans who have also enjoyed food, friends, family, and music have been William Shakespeare, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, Audrey Hepburn, Barbra Streisand, Billy Joel, David Beckham, George Clooney, Adele, and Channing Tatum. The Taurus harmonizes with the good life.

“Steady as You Go,” the Taurus Motto

Your grounded personality, Taurus, is what really makes you successful in life. You have your own sense of life’s rhythm, and you move at your own pace. You hate being rushed and find the ‘hustle and bustle’ lifestyle to be a little silly. Why is everyone running everywhere all the time? You’ll get there on your own time.

You’ll also see things out to their fullest, Taurus. If you have a project to do, you’ll quietly and methodically work on it until it’s done. You’ll practice your music or your singing until you enjoy how it sounds. You’ll spend time in the garden planting, weeding, and watering until you see the vegetables and fruits of your labor. You have a long term view and can appreciate watching things grow.

Taurus, you have such a wonderful sense of self that others naturally gravitate towards your steady kindness and support. You are an ideal friend and deeply enjoy having friends for many, many years. You’re never happier than being surrounded by the people you love, and you are one of the best signs to get along with others in relationships. People can sense that you’re honest, giving, and loyal.

Your steadiness is your secret asset and will help you do anything you want in life.

Motivation: Practicalities and Pleasures

Everyone else could learn a few things about how to enjoy the daily pleasures in life from you, Taurus. You’re also motivated by the more practical things, so you turn your attention towards work projects and home projects that are grounded in real life. You enjoy routine and bask in the rays of Venus as you go about your life. You add a touch of beauty wherever you go, because it’s important to you.

You’re not spartan or utilitarian, and you place a high priority on comfort. This makes your home and workplace environment welcoming and ‘homey’ for all who come to visit you. Friends want to stick around after your barbecue cookouts to sit around the firepit, roast marshmallows, and enjoy your homemade s’mores.

You like to get things right the first time, Taurus, so you’re definitely motivated by perfection. If it takes a few extra hours to get it right, so be it. “Measure twice, cut once” and “A stitch in time saves nine” are definitely Taurus mottos! You’re going to be patient and take your time being thorough. Doing something half-way or haphazard goes against your sense of beauty and harmony.

The Zodiac’s Soulful Symphony

Taurus, you are the great sign of music. Whether you choose to compose, play an instrument, dance, sing, or hum along in the car, music is alive in your life all the time.

Your voice is beautiful, and so many famous Taureans have been singers that it’s definitely a zodiac superpower! Sing out loud, Taurus, so the rest of us can sing along with you. Your voice has such warmth to it. Listening to Bing Crosby or Barbra Streisand or Adele, you can hear the richness in their voices. It’s powerful, sustaining, and almost operatic in tone.

Have you ever tried dancing, Taurus? You love to get your body moving, and the swell of the music around you will encourage you to try new steps. There are so many kinds of dance that you’ll be sure to find one that you like. Take a cue from fellow Taurus dancers like Fred Astaire, Channing Tatum, and Derek Hough to listen to the rhythm.

Taurus, you love flowers and plants. You enjoy their beauty and scent. There’s nothing like growing your own luscious ripe tomatoes for summer salads. Set up a tray of potted herbs in the kitchen to add freshness to your delicious breads and meat dishes. Surround yourself with flowers to cheer you and visit nearby botanical gardens to get more growing inspiration.

Taureans make some of the world’s best cooks and chefs. You have a fondness for the traditional Sunday roasts type of cooking you grew up with, accompanied by heaps of vegetables and glasses of red wine. Set up a big pot of hearty stew to simmer on the back of the stove all day to fill your home with delightful smells. Don’t forget the sweets, too. You not only love to eat, you make it an experience.

Patience and Hidden Fire

You are patient, Taurus, in a way that baffles the rest of us. How do you remain so calm, when life gets stressed out? The steady Taurus rarely loses their temper, but when they do, watch out! The bull sees red and off they go.

You have a great sense of humor, Taurus, that’s for sure. It’s earthy, funny, and grounded in the real world. You love watching the clowns of the world tumble around, and you get a lot of your humor from observing why people do what they do. Comedian Jerry Seinfeld has made a career of satirizing the every day.

The Bull’s Gift

Taurus, what would the rest of us do without you? Your patience, kindness, strength, and calm attitude about life are a soothing balm from others’ frenetic paces. Your home-cooked meals, organic tomatoes from your garden, and your comfortable home make anyone feel welcome.
