The Bull
The symbol for the Taurus zodiac sign is the Bull. Below, we’ll take a look at all of the things that make you who you are.
Element: Earth
Although stable and reliable, the Earth is always moving. Those who have Earth as an element also share these characteristics.
You are logical, practical and believe strongly in your convictions. As a curious person, you learn through experience. Instead of daydreaming of unrealistic desires, you focus on achieving realistic goals through hard work and determination.
Modality: Fixed
Modality refers to the ways and styles that energy flows. Fixed signs fall in the middle of a season and help to focus, concentrate and stabilize energy. People with fixed modality are known for their stamina, follow-through, loyalty, and strong convictions.
You are known as the one that will complete projects, arrange details, and finish what has already been started. This makes you an excellent employee.
Other fixed signs are:
- Leo
- Aquarius
- Scorpio
Ruling Planet: Venus
Those born under the Taurus sign are blessed with the ruling planet of Venus, the planet of love and relationships. You tend to get swept off your feet by beauty and romance. You are drawn to art, focusing on what is beautiful in the world.
You are both idealistic, sensual and believe in long relationships. Longing for peace and harmony, you will rarely look outside your relationship for love.
Polarities
There are always two polarities and may be referred to as female/male or yin/yang. In modern astrology, the polarity is also called active/receptive. Taurus is an Earth sign and has the polarity of Yin. Yin is both an Earth and Water sign.
Generally speaking, Yin’s can see each other’s point of view, while opposing polarities may have difficulties seeing other’s perspectives.
The six yin signs are:
- Capricorn
- Scorpio
- Cancer
- Virgo
- Pisces
- Taurus
Color: Green
Green is known as the “color of life”. As the color most associated with the zodiac sign Taurus, green implies freshness, safety, renewal, hope, and growth. However, green also means banking, greed, jealousy, and ambition.
However you see green, always remember that it is the most dominant color in nature which fits into the Bull’s personality.
Gemstone: Emerald
Emeralds are the birthstone for Taurus, and it is a stone of infinite patience and inspiration. It brings domestic bliss, increases loyalty, unconditional love and promotes friendship. Wear an emerald to open your heart chakra and when you need a calming presence.
Metal: Copper
As someone that was born under the April 24th zodiac, your metal is copper. Copper is a strong energy conductor. This is helpful for harnessing the strong emotions of The Bull. It helps to amplify your thoughts, and creates a healing field for those who wear it.
Copper can help you calm down, increase your self-esteem, and guide you to clearer thinking. Your stubborn bull may enjoy the release of excess anger and resentment that copper can facilitate. Copper is believed to bring balance between lunar and solar energy.
Days of the Week
Interestingly enough, Taurus also influences your week and what days are most important for those born on April 24th. You have two specific days of the week with significant meaning:
Monday
Monday is a Moon day which means that it is a highly emotionally charged day. Your moods, intuition, and inner-balance are all influenced by the Moon’s cycles.
Some feel Monday’s are a new beginning or a fresh start. Others feel erratic and unpredictable. As you have stronger feelings than some, Mondays can be a challenge for Taureans.
To offset these lunar influences, take note of the Moon’s phase on Mondays. Strive to find balance and inner-peace on these unstable days.
Best tasks for Taureans on Mondays:
- Sleep or napping
- Rest
- Relaxation
- Reading
- Meditation
- Walking in nature
- Self-care
Friday
Your ruling planet is Venus, so it makes sense that your second significant day is Friday. Friday’s are ruled by Venus which has high energy for Taureans. As the traditional end of the workweek, Friday’s have somewhat celebratory energy bringing heightened levels of connection, passion, and sensuality. This makes it a perfect day for Taureans as you get to reap the rewards of a hard week’s worth.
Best tasks for Taureans on Fridays:
- Hobbies
- Socializing
- Indulging in something luxurious (like a Spa day)
- Going to the movies, art galleries or museums
- Date night

Ylang-ylang also helps your stubborn Taurus side calm down when your temper gets the best of you. You can add it to a hot bath along with Epsom salts and it will relax your mind and get your body ready for romance.
Personality and Outlook
Taurus loves the arts, luxury, and nature. You are typically grounded, but will get fired up and passionate about causes you believe strongly about. As an Earth sign, you enjoy nature but may not love “roughing it”. Instead, you’ll gravitate to the luxurious side of the great outdoors which can make you seem materialistic.
You are peaceful, relaxed and slow to get angry. Your stubborn side can become explosive and many see your conviction as challenging. While these qualities may make the Taurus seem contrary, you actually look for stability in all things.
Your headstrong nature is offset by a sensual side as you enjoy all the pleasures life has to offer.
The Bull is slow to make major life decisions, but once made you are committed and fierce. You will generally finish what you started. You learn through your experience and make well-thought-out decisions. Even though your chief quality is seen as stubborn, you are actually patience and persevere through challenges.
Although you are very dedicated to your relationships, watch out for resentment. This challenging emotion can sneak up on you over time and you will find it extremely difficult to “let things go”.

Your Best Qualities
You are well-grounded and practical. You are sensual, loving and a natural born partner. You are drawn to beautiful things, including art and home decor. You do not mind showing off your wealth and revel in the luxurious.

As Taurus is an Earth sign, you feel most comfortable at home. You do not seek short term gains but are adept at keeping your focus for many years. You do not see your stubborn nature as a challenging quality. Rather, you feel committed when you dig in your heels. This defiant streak can be harnessed into lifelong pursuits. You make a great employee, friend, partner, and family member. This grounded nature is what makes the Bull the Taurus’s obvious symbol.
Even as your roots turn towards the Earth, your ruling planet Venus influences your every move. Love is your heart’s desire. The security and stability of a stable relationship is what you crave. That makes you a loyal partner who does not like sudden changes in your personal life, career or home. Regardless of your tendency towards inflexibility, you are dependable and the voice of reason during chaotic times.
