Bull. ♉️

of the zodiac (see Stars), the bull (taurus) is the second sign of the zodiac, the "sign of the Earth", and those born under its patronage are associated with such properties as heaviness, solidity, connection with the earth and soil, strength (steadiness) and vitality. The sign reigns between April 21 and May 21, and Venus is his "night home", which allows us to think about the mythological relationship of the goddess of love with the bull god. Greek legends about the stars saw the heavenly bull Minotaur, but also that wild bull that once devastated the fields around Marathon and was defeated by the hero Theseus. On the back of the celestial bull lies the nebulous constellation Pleiades, the seven daughters of Atlantis, who are pursued by the hunter Orion (see Scorpio) until they first turn into doves and then into stars. The bright eyes of a heavenly bull are the constellation Aldebaran (see Horns).
