Taurus Constellation in The Zodiac

Taurus constellation in the zodiac is one of its largest and the most prominent constellations. The name is Latin for bull, with its symbol  representing the head of a bull.

You can see the Taurus constellation in the northern hemisphere’s winter sky between the Aries constellation and the Gemini constellation, Aries lying to its west and Gemini to the east.

To its north lie Perseus and Auriga. Orion lies to the southeast. Toward the southwest you can see Cetus. If you go exact south to the constellation with your eyes, you will be able to see Eridanus there.

You can see the cluster of Pleiades to the west of the constellation without the help of a telescope.

Aldebaran is the main star in the constellation, behind which – if you look at it as forming the head of a bull – lie the Hyades.

If you see through a telescope, you can also locate Crab Nebula (M1), a supernova remnant lying northwest of Tauri, that exploded on July 4, 1054 and the light of the explosion was so bright that even a naked eye could see it on earth and that too during the day. Chinese history texts have mentioned it too.

In tropical astrology, the Sun is supposed to be in the sign Taurus from April 21 to May 21, and in sidereal astrology, from May 16 to June 15. That is how these stars affect people born during this period and make the constellations their zodiac signs.
