Encyclopedic overview

Taurus (♉︎; Ancient Greek: Ταῦρος, romanized: Taûros, Latin for "bull") is the second astrological sign in the modern zodiac. It spans from 30° to 60° of the zodiac. This sign belongs to the Earth element or triplicity, as well as a fixed modality, quality, or quadruplicity. It is a Venus-ruled sign, the Moon is in its exaltation here at exactly 3°. Taurus is one of the three earth signs, alongside Capricorn and Virgo. Taurus's opposite sign is Scorpio.

The Sun transits this zodiac sign from approximately April 21 until May 21 in western astrology. This time-duration roughly corresponds to the second month of the Solar Hijri calendar called Ordibehesht (Pashto: Ǧwayai).
