Symbol: The Bull: Strong, stubborn, plodding, can be both force & gentle.
Glyph (Written Symbol): The pictograph represents the horns & head of the Bull. It also outlines the chin and Adam's apple of the human throat (the part of the anatomy that Taurus rules). In symbolic terms, the glyph is a half-moon forming a cup that rests on the circle of the Sun. The cup represents material power & wealth derived through the force of will (the circle).

Polarity: Scorpio; Taurus is the sign of property & money. Its natives put a high regard on collecting possessions & are known to cling to what is theirs. Scorpio, Taurus's opposite sign, is the sign of legacies & shared wealth. The wealth of Scorpio people tends to be spiritual rather than material, which they give to others in the form of teaching, writing, & the healing arts.

Your Most Likeable Trait: DEPENDABILITY
You are the person others count on in the clutch, the one who perseveres when less determined spirits fall by the wayside. Because perseverance is the quality most needed for success, you tend to be successful.
You are not the pioneer who first strikes out for new territory, but the determined settler who follows & builds houses & towns & cultivates the soil. If you were born under this second sign of the zodiac, there is a pronounced stubborn streak in you. Your greatest strength resides in your tenacity & steady, relentless drive. You are the original immovable object & irresistable force.
Taurus is a fixed sign, which means its natives are not fond of change. You simply cannot be rushed into anything new. A different approach creates unease & anxiety in you. You are most comfortable & secure with the familiar, & your attitude might be summed up as "If everything is working fine the way it is, why try something new?".
Everyone knows you have a temper, although you rarely show it. Generally you are equitable & patient as time itself, & it is only when opposed (even then it will take alot of pushin) that you become angry. However, there is volcanic activity going on underneath your easygoing, genial exterior. Like a bull quietly grazing ia a pasture, you're not looking to challenge anyone, but it would be a fatal mistake for anyone to challenge you.
There is a soft & gentle side to your personality. Ruled by Venus, goddess of love & beauty, you are endowed with geniune creative gifts, responsive to color & design, inspired by art & music. In those born under Taurus, the stability of an Earth sign combines with the esthetic influence of Venus to create a responsible, steadfast personality with a deep appreciation for the finer aspects of life. The Taurean taste is elegant. You have a keen eye for what is valuable. Usually an avid collector, it's a rare native of this sign who does not think that possessions, objets, wealth, & money are definitely for having-& the more the better.
Security is your byword. You look for permanence in career, lover, marriage, & home. Let others gad about, jet-set, gallivant, & sleep around. You are happiest at home, surrounded by the beautiful, expensive things you have collected, secure in the warmth of a mate's devotion, steadfast & faithful to who you love.
Beneath the surface you are sensuous & sentimental. You don't give lavish gifts as tokens of affection because you are not a carefree spender-value is what you expect from your hard earned dollar. Although you are willing to follow where your heart leads, you find it difficult to display your feelings openly. Your personality is private & self contained.
Living with you isn't always easy. You can be dogmatic, secretive, stingy, opinionated, & suspicious & your silent manner may conceal feelings of envy & rivalry. It's hard to get you moving, for you tend to be self indulgent, even lazy. You have great stores of energy, however, which you put to use when you want to-not when others want you to.
Venus emphasizes the social side of Taurus. Although basically shy & reserved with strangers, you can be a wonderful host/hostess. You like to entertain those you are fond of. You may not indulge as freely in frivilous pleasures, as, say, Leo or Libra natives, but you are renowned for enjoying good food & good wine in plush surroundings. You believe in pampering yourself with the comforts of the good life.
As a person born under this sign, you are an endearing combination of the dependable & sensible, the sensitive & emotional. Inside every practical, stolid-seeming Taurean, there is a romantic dreamer struggling to get out.
