Taurus

Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac, covering roughly April 20 or 21 to May 20 or 21 in tropical astrology. An earth sign, fixed and feminine, it is ruled by Venus; the Moon is exalted there. Tradition credits it with patience, constancy, sensuality, a love of comfort, nature and lasting things, along with solid practical sense. Its supposed downside is stubbornness, possessiveness and resistance to change. It corresponds to the second house.
