April 21 - May 21
Taurus Planet: ♀ Venus.
The symbol of the Taurus constellation (Latin name Taurus) is, of course, the bull. According to legend, Zeus, the chief Olympian god of ancient Greece, transformed into a white bull to abduct Europa, the daughter of the Phoenician king.
Within the Taurus constellation, there are two prominent star clusters: the Pleiades and the Hyades. The Pleiades are often referred to as the "Seven Sisters." This cluster consists of over 500 stars, beautifully veiled by a misty nebula. With the naked eye from Earth, one can observe seven Pleiades stars that resemble a small dipper.
The brightest star in the Taurus constellation is Alpha Tauri, also known as Aldebaran. It is an orange giant and is translated from Arabic as "the Follower." It is the fourteenth brightest star in our sky.
However, the most famous celestial object within the Taurus constellation is the visually stunning Crab Nebula, formed after the explosion of a supernova star.
Taurus Astrology
Taurus Months: April, May
Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac. The Sun enters the sign of Taurus around April 20 or 21 and exits this sector of the celestial sky around May 20 or 21, depending on the year.
Taurus Season: Spring
Taurus is the second sign of the spring season. During the reign of this sign, the earth warms up and prepares to bear fruit, with the first sprouts appearing. It is a time of reproduction. This period adds characteristics to Taurus's nature such as natural desires and emotions, closeness to nature, fertility, and robust health.
Taurus Element: Earth
The Earth element in astrology embodies solidity, stability, and reliability. It fosters qualities like endurance, practicality, determination, diligence, and a sense of duty. Three zodiac signs are under the generous patronage of Mother Earth in astrology: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn.
As a representative of the Earth element, Taurus possesses organizational abilities and is incredibly responsible and rational. Stability and confidence in the future are as necessary for them as the solid ground beneath their feet and the blue sky above their heads.
Taurus Ruling Planet: Venus
Venus's motto is "I love!" Since ancient times, Venus has been known as the planet of love and beauty. However, astrologers assert that its influence is much broader. Venus represents the range of human emotions and motivations in all their vibrant manifestations. In the horoscope, Venus governs sensuality, sensitivity, beauty, charm, grace, inner harmony, and, of course, love. Love for oneself, for others, and for the world as a whole.
One of the main aspects of Venus's influence on the Taurus horoscope is the desire for beauty, material goods, and comforts of life. Thanks to Venus, money plays a significant role in a Taurus's life, not for its own sake, but as a means to make their life as comfortable as possible. However, in addition to bodily comfort, under the influence of Venus, Taurus strives for comfort in all their senses, being both a food lover and a refined connoisseur of art. But most importantly for Taurus is the comfort of their soul, which they find in the company of the people they love.
