Taurus

Taurus is the second sign, a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus. It embodies stability, patience, and a deep appreciation for the physical world -- good food, beautiful spaces, and the security of tangible resources. Picture someone spending three hours making bread from scratch, not because they have to, but because the texture of dough and the smell filling the kitchen is the whole point. That's Taurus. The Sun transits here from late April into May, when spring is no longer a promise but something you can touch. At its best, Taurus offers unwavering loyalty, artistic sensibility, and remarkable endurance. Its shadow side shows up as stubbornness, possessiveness, and resistance to necessary change. The Moon is exalted here -- emotions run deep and steady, rarely dramatic but immovable once rooted. Mars is in detriment, because this sign has zero interest in rushing. Venus thrives, giving Taurus natives a natural eye for beauty and a grounded, pleasing quality.
