We've made it through Aries season, y'all. If you're anything like me, you're probably feeling relieved that the most aggressive sign of the zodiac is behind us—and ready to embrace the sensual delights of Taurus season!
Taurus is one of the oldest signs of the zodiac and is associated with the domestication of the ox, which provided a turning point for mankind. The Taurean Age (4000-2000 BCE) was marked by agricultural successes that encouraged an increase in population and development in science, religion, and culture.
During this period, the bull became one of the most important religious symbols and was honored as a powerful symbol of productivity and creativity. The constellation Taurus is said to represent Zeus transformed into a white bull in order to seduce Europa.
Taurus season runs from April 20-May 20, so if you know any Taureans, celebrate them today! If you are a Taurean, take pride in your ability to steady yourself against chaos and help others do the same!
Taureans are strong-willed, practical, reliable, determined and sensual — just like Taurus's astrological symbol: The Bull. As an earth sign, Taurus is deeply connected to nature and loves to be outdoors. They have a deep love for beauty and enjoy creating things with their hands (like baking or gardening). Taureans are known for their stubbornness, but they're also patient and hard-working — so if you see them at a farmer's market buying fresh flowers or vegetables, don't be surprised!
