Taurus



Taurus (Latin for bull, derived from the Greek word Ταῦρος) is the second astrological sign in the present zodiac. It spans from 30° to 60° of the zodiac. This sign belongs to the Earth element or triplicity, and has a feminine or negative polarity, as well as a Fixed modality, quality, or quadruplicity. It is a Venus-ruled sign like Libra. The Moon has its exaltation here at exactly 3°. The Sun transits this sign from approximately April 20 until May 20 in western astrology. People born between these dates, depending on which system of astrology they subscribe to, may be called Taureans.
