Taurus is ruled by luxury loving Venus. Taurus is the sign of beauty, luxury,
happiness, comfort and all things nice. Taurus is symbolized by the Bull,
which is quite content to sit in his nice green pasture and eat grass. The scene
with a happy bull in a field is a nice and pleasant scene, and a very settled one
too. ItÕs not easy to move a bull, and an angry bull is dangerous. So, Taurus
rules the settled home, and Taurus affected people like to get things set up
and leave them that way.
Taurus is one of the three Earth ruled signs. The Earth signs rule Earthy
things such as pragmatism and material provisions. As the first of these
three Taurus is the leader. With the beauty and grace of Venus behind it,
Taurus goes about procurring or arranging for very Earthy circumstances and
since Earth is solid, the things Taurus creates are also solid and lasting, not
fleeting, like things created by Wind signs (which are succeptible to being
Òblown awayÓ).
