Taurus. The Bull.
The sign of deep roots. Of the body that knows what it loves and will not be rushed. Of the soul that builds slowly, beautifully, and to last. A fixed earth sign, ruled by Venus.
The Sun moves through Taurus from approximately April 20 to May 20. The season of Beltane. The earth in full bloom, the fields green and fragrant, the world given over to beauty and the pleasure of being alive in a body.
In ancient Mesopotamia, the bull was sacred to the gods of earth and sky alike. The Pleiades, the seven sisters, rise with the Sun in Taurus season, marking the ancient new year in cultures across the world. Taurus carries that deep, stellar memory. The body as sacred. The earth as holy ground.
Ruling Planet: Venus
The goddess of love, beauty, and the deep pleasure of the physical world. Venus governs what we value, what we desire, and the slow, sensual art of building a life that is genuinely beautiful.
Element: Earth
Prithvi in Sanskrit. Ge in ancient Greek. The nourishing, stabilizing element. It holds all living things and asks only that we trust the ground beneath our feet.
Chakra: Heart & Root
Heart, for the Venus-ruled love of beauty, pleasure, and the sacred art of giving and receiving.
Root, for the deep, embodied groundedness of the sign that knows itself as part of the earth.
Tarot: The Hierophant (V)
The keeper of sacred tradition. The wisdom that has been tested by time and passed down through the body of the earth. Paul Foster Case connected The Hierophant to Taurus, to the steady, embodied transmission of what endures.
