Taurus: The Personal Sign
Taurus is actually the second sign in the western zodiacs. It is symbolized by the bull and is ruled by the planet Venus. In the astrological records, it is considered as an earth sign and is one of the four fixed signs.
At the same time, it is also regarded as the “feminine” and negative sign. Well, negative in the sense that the individual under this sign has a great tendency of becoming personal, or withdrawn from other people.
Typically, Taurus people are born when the Sun was of course in Taurus sign. When under the sidereal zodiac, the Sun is in Aries approximately from May 15 to June 15 . But if under tropical zodiac, it is presently there approximately from as early as April 20 to May 20.
Being Symbolized by a Bull
Taurus being symbolized by a bull for years since it existed can actually be associated to the Greek myth of the bull-form taken by Zeus to eventually win over Europa.
At times, also to the Greco-Roman goddess Aphrodite or Venus as well as with the gods Pan, Dionysus or Bacchus, Quetzalcoatl, and Xolotl and some other goddesses such Hera or Juno, Isis, Ishtar, Frigg, and Freya.
Possible Traits
Individuals under Taurus are more or less resourceful, thorough, devoted, patient, sensual, affectionate, and cautious. They are also musical, artistic, earthy, determined, kind, solid, and strong.
But on the flip side, Taurus people can actually be slow, possessive, acquisitive, easygoing, resentful, overly self-conscious and stubborn as well.
Taurus with Some Other Signs
As for the record, Taurus has been known to be compatible with other zodiac signs like Capricorn and Virgo. Typically, this was based on some determining variables like birth dates, birth months, birth years, position of the sign within the Sun, the Moon, Stars, and many more.
But on the other hand, compatibilities like that of Taurus with Capricorn and Virgo should not be reflected as an individual profile or individual reading but instead as a plain reference and guideline to compatibility only.
