Taurus comes second in the zodiac sign list and its characteristics are best described as stubborn, reliable, and strong. Taurus is an earth sign and is thus sceptical and realistic, which means that it can’t stand the impossibility of everything that is beyond its tangible grasp. According to astrology, Taurus is linked with attraction, adoration, and devotion to anything dear to them. So, let’s find out more information about this sign including its meaning, personality, compatibility, and even the zodiac jewellery symbolising this sign.

The Sign Dates for Taurus 

Taurus is born between April 20 and May 20 and is associated with spring which is a sign of growth, beauty, and new beginnings. These dates are not fixed but depend on the position of the sun in the zodiac. Especially during this period, it is considered that the sun tours through the Taurus sign strengthening all indications related to nature, stability, and practicality.

Taurus Symbol

Taurus has the bull as its symbol meaning strength and patience. The animal that has been chosen, the bull, as a symbol, often represents strength and stamina and has been used since the Egyptian and Greek periods. As for the bull symbol, it is used in astrology to characterise Taurus’s attitude towards life – perseverance, their ability to ‘take it’, and their need for comfort and stability.

Traits of Taurus People

Taurus is known for its core characteristics: reliability in performing duties, the virtue of patience, practicality, and most importantly; devotion. Taureans are very loyal people who like order and stability in work and personal lives. They are calm and down to earth and known to be the best problem solvers as well as friends. They are very much devoted to their loved ones, though they could be quite rigid and not very keen on change. They are reflected in specific features of behaviour such as a focus on productivity, appreciation of quality and material goods, and their concern with stability in a home.

Strengths: Dependable, patient, grounded, practical, loyal
Weaknesses: Stubborn, possessive, resistant to change

Taurus Compatibility

When it comes to relationships, Taurus people are most compatible with people who belong to the earth and water elements as they also value stability and emotions. The most compatible signs for Taurus include:

  • Cancer: Two signs are similar - the need for emotional security and a comfortable home.
  • Virgo: Being down to earth and matter of fact, Virgo plays well with Taurus as the latter is very dependable.
  • Capricorn: Taurus & Capricorn – these two signs are both down to Earth and not afraid to work hard.
  • Pisces: Another reason that Taurus can be quite appealing to Pisces is the stability that Taurus has to offer to Pisces’ overly sensitive disposition.

On the other hand, Taurus may experience challenges with:

  • Leo: While both signs seek admiration and are very dominant at heart, this can make both of you very stubborn and more likely to engage in a heated argument.
  • Aquarius: In comparison, Taurus needs security while the Aquarius person craves liberty and originality.

Taurus arrangements are typically characterised by devotion, stability, and a favourable view of values.

Taurus in Mythology and Culture

The mythology of the Taurus band is associated with the Greek myth Zeus and Europa where Zeus turns into a bull and kidnaps Europa. Bulls have been important in many societies, for example, the Apis bull that was worshipped in Egypt while bulls have been associated with fertility and strength in many ancient societies of the world.

Jewellery based on the sign of Taurus is an excellent means for Taureans to assert their individuality and link with their sun signs.
