More about Tauruses

Taurus is the Second Sign of the Zodiac, represented by the Bull which is prized for strength and stamina. The Egyptian Horus was the Bull of Heaven and a white bull was sacrificed in Babylonia at the time of the New Year to placate Ramman, the God of Thunder and Lightning. Taurus peacefully tends and nurtures Spring's garden, bringing forth harmony from chaos. Like the Bull, Taurus does not move unless there is something worth moving for. Taurus likes to keep a firm hand on possessions and nothing makes this Sign happier than secure material prosperity. Taurus craves the good things in life. Dominated by the romantic Planet of Venus, Taurus is deeply loving with strong values, but can be slow to make decisions. Earthbound with worldly goals and in tune with nature, Taurus is the most reliable and faithful Sign of the Zodiac. In essence, Taurus governs practicality and security.
The symbol...or glyph...of Taurus represents the horns and head of the bull. It is the Sign of the Builder. The glyph also outlines the chin and Adam's apple of the human throat (the part of anatomy over which Taurus rules). Symbolically, the glyph is a half-moon forming a cup which rests on the circle of the Sun. The cup represents material power and wealth derived through the force of will (represented by the circle). In Vedic Astrology, this glyph is representative of the Divine Spirit with the crescent above being symbolic of the flowering or blossoming of Spirit in its process of materialisation.
Also known as the Sign of the Producer or Builder, Taurus is Negative in polarity (as are Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces). The general characteristics of Negative Signs lean toward introversion and prefer to draw upon personal resources rather than look for external stimuli. Such individuals are naturally more receptive, sensitive and nurturing than are the Zodiac Signs of Positive polarity (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius). However, Negative Signs are also likely to be much more cautious, retiring and standoffish than their Positive counterparts with a tendency to keep personal feelings under tight control. Taurus is the most introverted of the Negative Signs (with Virgo a close second).
All Zodiac Signs governed by the Elements of Earth and Water are considered to be Feminine in nature. Thus, Taurus (ruled by earth) is considered Feminine (as are Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces). Feminine Signs are traditionally conceived as being more receptive and less active than their Masculine counterparts which are ruled by the Elements of Fire and Air (the Zodiac Signs of Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius). Feminine Signs focus primarily on the emotional and material world with particular attention to sensitivity and depth of feeling. Feminine Signs are said to be noctural or night-oriented. Therefore, the term "feminine" should be viewed in the same light as the Yin (or dark) Polarity of the Tao.
Taurus is the natural ruler of the Second House of the Zodiac, commonly referred to as the "House of Material Possessions" and known in Vedic Astrology as the "Gate of Hades." This is the field which challenges an individual to define and refine his or her personal sense of values. The things and qualities that a person treasures, cherishes and enjoys are to be found here. This is the area of personal security and gain...money, employment, possessions and life's simple pleasures, as well as its luxuries. The Second House is concerned with ethics, morals, integrity and priorities...what an individual "stands for" and what influences that individual's choices in life. In addition to personal values, this house is traditionally associated with inner and outer talents and resources. The Second House is governed by the Planet Venus (which is also Planetary Ruler of the Seventh House).
The opposite sign to Taurus is Scorpio. From Scorpio, Taurus can learn to recognize the needs of others. Thus, can Taurus natives gain insight not only into the motives of others, but also into their own.

Ruled by Venus, Goddess of Love, the Taurus female possesses the happy knack of making men feel marvellous right from the outset. With a love of good food and elegant restaurants, she often sets her sights on a "swish" house where she can play the hostess to perfection. There is, however, a dangerous tendency for the Taurus woman to be overly possessive of those she loves.
This female will constantly remain attractive, retaining her "bloom" for many years and being constantly concerned about her appearance. An excellent homemaker, she knows exactly what she wants in the material sense. However, she is not always wise in the philosophic sense. The Taurus woman learns quickly and, with experience, soon becomes a valuable asset to any man who places a successful marriage high on his list for happiness. Nevertheless, there will be many "ups and downs" in the life of a Taurus female for although she is capable of whole-hearted love, she can also be very contrary and resentful if provoked.
There is no danger of the Taurus woman ever going on a spending spree for she is by nature frugal and usually careful with money. Once committed, the Taurus woman is faithful and true, believing from an early age in the "one and only" type of love. Even later in life, should she experience disillusionment and a crushing of her ideal, she continues to hold fast to her vision of one lasting union. A romantic at heart, this female demands absolute fidelity. Not one to mince words, especially in matters of the heart, the Taurus woman detests mind games and teasing and is seldom (if ever) impulsive.
Often described as having the smile of a Mona Lisa and a sensual look in her eyes, the Taurus female is nonetheless far from promiscuous and will seek security and stability in any relationship. The casual affair is not for this woman. In many ways, she is the perfect personification of the old-fashioned girl, being devoted and protective...one who loves and nurtures and gives of her strength. She is is open, affectionate and demonstrative. With a secure sense of her own judgment, she trusts her instincts and refuses to be affected by any negative comments directed toward a loved one by another party.
Women governed by this Sign make the most devoted and constant wives, willing to endure the greatest privations and making the most extreme sacrifices for those they love. However, the Taurus female needs to be constantly on guard against insincere sympathy and evil-minded flattery since her kind and sympathetic nature will make her most susceptible. Unless this woman is very careful, she can easily be led far astray.
Extremely independent, the Taurus woman has the sheer determination to succed in life, being stable, secure and loyal. Down-to-earth and normally easy-going, to say nothing of being blessed with a most fascinating and charming personality, she is not difficult to get to know and this tends to draw the opposite sex to her side. Essentially, a homebody, on the occasions when the Taurus female does go out, she is "dressed to the nines" and although appreciative of compliments every now and again, hates to be smothered with attention. Generally, the Taurus woman is graceful and often has a very attractive, well-formed figure. However, she will constantly be fighting a battle with calories due to her weakness for fattening foods.
Lavish with affection and warm-hearted, women of Taurus are usually dearly loved by all who know them...they are indeed counted among the most amiable, magnetic and hypnotic of females. Despite her repeated attempts at domination, the Taurus woman truly wants her partner to be the boss and, if allowed to take over the relationship, is likley to lose all respect for her mate. Although she may grumble at being dominated, she secretly prefers to be ruled because it makes her feel protected.
Nevertheless, a certain amount of freedom to do with what she chooses is important and it would be wise for any man involved with a Taurus female to give way on this point. As a mother, the Taurus woman is excellent. She will have a great love for her children...always seeing to their physical needs, ministering to their aches and pains, comforting them and helping them. She will also display much skill and wisdom in their management, to say nothing of winning the esteem and confidence of her children through affection and by cheerfully cajoling them into completing assigned tasks. That having been said, the Taurus mother is no pushover and can, if called for, be quite severe with her children. On the more negative side, she is not necessarily tolerant should they step out of line or attempt to express their own personalities in ways of which she does not approve. Blessed with a marvellous sense of humor where her children are concerned, the Taurus female tends to be a better mother to boys than to girls.
Taurus women are fond of fancy work and excel in its reproduction. They are also quite handy with the brush and pencil. Generally, they meet with success in such professions as demonstrators and dressmakers, and make for very efficient clerks, cashiers and bookkeepers. Many display a great talent in the literary arena, particularly that of correspondent. In essence, the Taurus female is a true romantic...serene, unaffected, artistic and good-natured. She is very appealing to the opposite sex but is never anything less than elegant with an impeccable sense of taste. She likes to be flattered, cajoled and teased. She also adores being told by her partner that she is loved...she may not always take it seriously, but the she does so love to hear it. It is important to thank this woman for what she does since she cannot bear to be taken for granted. Above all else, the Taurus woman craves affection.
