Taurus the Bull is the second of the zodiac signs resembling a bull as far as zodiac symbols are concerned. It corresponds to the constellation of its name though the precession of the equinoxes has misaligned it from this constellation in western astrology.

Being the second sign, it also corresponds to the second house in astrology. It is considered to contain negative energies in it like earth, introversion and femininity. Venus is the planet that rules the sign.

If you were born when the sun was there in this sign roughly from April 20 to May 20 on its ecliptic path, you own this sign, though sidereal zodiac takes these dates to be from May 15 to June 15.

As for zodiac symbols, the constellation is shaped as the head of a bull along with its horns on it.

The personality traits associated with this sign are dedication, determination, discipline, sensibility, conservatism, creativity, coolness, sensuousness, romance, affection, prudence, trustworthiness, patience, loyalty, over-indulgence and taste.

The physical traits comprise a long face with a broad forehead and a large chin as well as an underlined jaw line, small ears, dense eyebrows, small teeth, full and nicely shaped lips, fair complexion, large and expressive eyes and a pointed nose along with often straight hair.

Lucky associations are sapphire, emerald and diamond in birthstones; blue, pink and lemon in colors; emerald in gemstones; copper in metals; rose and violet in flowers; England, Ireland, Switzerland, Sweden and Russia in countries; and cattle in animals.

Capricorn, Virgo and Taurus itself along with Cancer and Pisces among zodiac signs are the most compatible with it. With Scorpio its relationship is very passionate but full of complications as well!
