Taurus people appreciate each season in turn and enjoying the routine of each unfolding year.

Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus. As this planet journeys around the Sun, she describes a particular pattern which, over the course of several cycles will yield a heart formation at its centre.

Taurus is the sign of the bull. Like the bull, Taurus people tend to move slowly and deliberately. They are slow to anger but, when enraged, will charge just like the 'bull in the china shop', creating considerable damage not just to others, but to themselves too. This is a form of self-sabotage having repercussions for many years. Few people forget the angry bull and some may not want to cross its path again.
