Happy Taurus Time April 20 @ 5:41 am EDT- May 20
Taurus was once the first sign of the zodiac in Ancient Babylonian times, when the Vernal/Spring equinox began. Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus who was known as ISHTAR.. Because of the precession of the Equinoxes Aries is now the 1st sign of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
During the month when the Sun soaks up Taurus energy we all slow down, we are primarily in our bodies, more grounded, and indulging our senses which can feel much more acute. Taurus is stable fixed earth, it is our body and resources. Taurus is stubborn, and can be lazy, they like to be couch potatoes. Known as nature lovers, Taurus do love to stop and smell the roses and it is good for them to garden and be surrounded by nature. Taurus’ likes practical things, they are often artisans and work well with their hands. Taurus works hard because they like the rewards. They can spend money lavishly too.
The 2nd sign also governs the 2nd house in the natural system which governs income and money. Real estate, art and traditional blue chip things are what Taurus values. Venus blesses Taurus with fine taste, a love of art, great food, beautiful fabrics, and the like. Taurus rules the throat chakra and they are often good singers, speakers and musicians.
You can usually spot a Taurus by their build, usually very strong and healthy, well muscled. They like harmony in their relationships. Taurus people can be vain. They are loyal and reliable but stubborn. They are straightforward uncomplicated, hate change and act from their need for comfort first. They can have huge tempers though which can flare up unexpectedly. Do not egg on a Taurus, they can be like enraged bulls, from which the word bully comes.
