Taurus the Bull is an astrological sign in the zodiac calendar. It is for people who were born between April 21-May 20. It is ruled by the planet Venus, which stands for love and desire. Taurus is an earth sign that means strong and solid. The bull governs security and practicality. With it being a feminine sign, it is very magnetic.

Although Taureans are reliable and practical, they tend to be very stubborn in their ways. They are also very possessive, and very conservative. They are anchored firmly in the today's world, and no one can talk you into anything without first thinking things out. They have a great love for nature and the comfort and ease of life. However, some Taureans tend to be lazy. They need to have a balanced and regular exercise program, to keep them fit and trim because they love to overindulge in their favorite foods.

The moon is exalted in Taurus, which makes them quite creative. They are very successful when they deal in public matters. They are also very kind and generous, especially with their friends. Taureans are ruled by the throat, which gives them a beautiful voice, especially for singing. With the influence of Venus, they tend to have an appreciation of music and musical talents. They also like to take care of a garden, and delight in outdoor activities. They enjoy picnics, hiking trips, or even a trip to the zoo with their friends. They have a great sense of humor in their social life.

Taurus colors include browns, russet, and turquoise. They love the beauty of an emerald, since emeralds are green and the color of money and relaxation. The emerald is a six-sided crystal and six is the number for love. Their birthstone is the diamond. Their favorite flowers include daffodils, roses, daisies, and lilies.

Taureans are known for their patience, which means they are slow to get angry. They are also known for their obstinacy and their persistence. Their astrological number is the number 4, which is considered to be very lucky for them.

When the moon is in Taurus, they lose all the positive attributes and everything turns to the negative side, which causes them to go into a state of depression. They become high-spirited, quick-tempered, and very emotional. They do not listen to the advice from others; anger may block their understanding of things and situations. Taureans should not worry about being alone when the moon interferes with their life, because the moon also affects all the other signs with negative influences as well.

When reading the zodiac the Sun sign is always shown first because of all the positive aspects, and the moon signs are shown last because of the negative aspects. It is very important that the entire chart be read in order to navigate your life as you would want it, so a person should know exactly when the moon will be entering the sign of Taurus.

Taurus tattoos depict a bull in any stance and it would be up to the individual to choose just the right bull design to have tattooed on them.
