♉︎ Taurus
Steadiness, pleasure, what endures.
The Sun crosses Taurus each year around April 20 – May 20, the span most people mean when they say they “are” a Taurus. On the clock it occupies the 30°–60° arc of the gold ring, traditionally ruled by Venus.

No planets are passing through Taurus at the moment. The ring waits empty.
Taurus is the fixed earth sign, belonging to the negative, receptive half of the zodiac: a grounded, practical, slow-to-move key. Being fixed, it digs in, holds its position, and resists being moved.
The tropical zodiac keys Taurus to the turning year: it holds the middle of spring, when growth settles in. Its traditional ruler is Venus, the planet of pleasure suits the sign that savours what lasts. In the old body-map the sign governs the neck and throat.
At its best Taurus offers patience that outlasts any storm. Under strain the same nature can become comfort hardening into stubbornness.
