Azra’s Astrology: Taurus the Bull

Humans have had millennia to really think about these signs and the different correlations to them. There’s so much that even the ones I am presenting aren’t even close to everything involved with the sign in question. There’s so much more like what body parts, what tarot card, flowers, crystals,  you get the idea. Use this as a jumping off point and do your own research. I am sure there’s a specific pizza associated with each of these signs too. So here we go. Second on our list of zodiac signs is Taurus.

Taurus is one of the oldest recognized constellations in the sky. References to the bull in the sky have been found dating back to the Bronze Age. However, it was Ptolemy in the 2nd century CE that associated the star cluster with the myth of Zeus getting all rapey with Europa.

Taurans are very rooted personalities. They are not unlike dwarves in that they live in the ground and are super stubborn, but they make shiny things. The key to their hearts is presents. Always bring Taruans presents if you want them to do anything for you. And I do mean anything. Their honesty and steadfastness is a major turn on for people into that sort of thing, though they do have an emphasis on drama free relationships, so they can be fairly boring.
