Taurus is the second sign in the astrological cycle. It is a fixed sign, because we are in the middle of a
season when the sun is in Taurus (roughly April 21-May 20). Fixed signs tend to have a stable, consistent,
and determined energy to impart upon planets passing through them or houses that they rule. In terms
of the classical Greek elements, Taurus the Bull is an earth sign, meaning it is practical, stable, and
grounded in nature. This unique combination of fixed and earth qualities give Taurus the least
changeable energy of all the zodiac. Things under Taurus’ influence are long-lasting, and do not change
easily. The stereotype is stubborn like a bull, and of course signs are not their stereotypes, but this one
has a strong taste of truth. Taurus energy is loyal and unwavering, but takes time to win over or
convince to move. Houses or planets influenced by Taurus may represent comfort zones, as Venus-ruled
Taurean energy is unchanging but also appreciates physical comfort and the finer things in life. Taurus is
also a hard-working energy, though, and willing to earn comfort and luxury.
