Taurus - the second astrological sign of the Zodiac
Taurus, the bull, is the second sign of the zodiac and is one of the earth signs. Your sign is Taurus if your birth date falls between April 21 and May 21. Taurus originally came from the Taurus constellation, but due to the precession of the equinoxes it is no longer in alignment with the constellation. It’s one of the 6 negative or feminine signs of the zodiac, and is associated with introversion, although this isn’t always the case.
It is also one of the four fixed signs. The fixed signs of the zodiac imply strength and perseverance, and conversely a bit of stubbornness and inflexibility. The phrase stubborn as a bull is often used to describe a Taurus.
