Taurus is the second Sign of the Zodiac.
Moving beyond the birth and first realization of
Self represented by Aries, Taurus begins to
physically explore the world. As such,
possessions and physical touch are very
important to Taureans. They tend to be richly
sensual, enjoying the good things in life and
the physical pleasures that come with them.
Taurus is the Sign of the Physical. As the
second Sign, Taurus also rules the second
House: the House of Money and Possessions.
The Astrological Symbol of Taurus is the Bull.
The term "bull-headed" applies to Taureans in
both its positive and negative connotations,
and Taurus exemplifies the Fixed Quality
assigned to it. They are among the strongest
Signs when it comes to getting things done
because of their reliable persistence in moving
toward completion of projects. On the other
hand, they can be very stubborn and
argumentative. Within the Zodiac, Taurus is
opposite Scorpio, the Sign of group
possessions, so Taureans tend to be about
personal assets rather than group or family
holdings. They can be self-indulgent, but they
are immensely practical and stable.
