Who is that mashing down the marigolds, snuggled close to Mother Earth, lying in a sunbeam? Taurus. Down-to-earth, unpretentious Taurus.

Taurus, the physically strongest sign of the zodiac, is also gentle and kind. In fact, Taurus will stand away from a bowl of milk if a very aggressive head pushes in to drink from it first.

This is not a sign of timidity. On the contrary, self-assured Taurus feels no need to prove strength. Taurus knows that one swipe of the paw will show any doubting Thomas the power of the gentle giant.

For Taurus is an anomaly, mixing the strength of the Bull with the sweetness of its ruling planet, Venus.

Since Taurus also rules the neck and throat, the home of a Taurean is filled with purring. In fact, if you are looking for Taurus at home, look with your ears. You will hear Taureans before you see them, their large frames squeezed into something small and cozy, their loud purring interspersed with an occasional snort or snore, sleeping the sleep of the innocent… or the indolent.
