April 21 - May 20

The sign of Taurus

The Taurus represents the spring season, slow and progressive growth, abundance and stability and is characterized in fact by the calm and patience with which it manages to do things, and for the safety in moving one step after another on a solid and secure ground, in his little sympathy for changes, especially sudden ones. Western astrology portrays those born under the sign of Taurus as peaceful, practical and simple people; lovers of the house, have refined tastes and are attracted to the pleasures of life and material goods: the sensory experience is the most pleasing for Taurus.
One of the strongest characteristics of Taurus is the dedication, attachment and constancy with which he works, lives, feels and relates. Those born under the sign of Taurus are generally reliable, loyal, realistic and with their feet firmly on the ground. They have the patience and the propensity to reflect before acting and never hold back in the face of commitments, being also able to resist to the bitter end. Being very tied to the earth, they also tend to have a great ecological sensitivity and to respect its rhythms and needs.
The peace and serenity of spring reflect the sign's domicile in Venus, the planet of love. The archetype of Taurus is in fact that of the lover and this sign fully manifests its ways of opening up, welcoming and merging.
For Taurus, love is mainly attraction, desire, sensuality, joie de vivre, aimed at the satisfaction of the senses and the pursuit of pleasure. They are what they love and they love what they are, and through the relationship of love with the other they find themselves. Being happy for the Taurus means in fact possessing, merging, planting roots, counting on safe nourishment and support.
The apparent simplicity and serenity of Taurus hides a complex psychology brought by the voluptuous Venus which gives Taurus a high power of seduction which, however, in some cases, can transform a Taurus into a cunning manipulator, complex and tormented by a deep jealousy and in search of total possession of the loved one.
In his dark side the Taurus reveals himself stubborn and obstinate to the point of unreasonableness, excessively attached to securities and material goods, possessive, jealous, touchy. He is able to endure with patience, but also to become a fury for no reason if his patience is not rewarded.
