The symbol of the BULL expresses the character of those born between the dates of April 20 and May 19. Stability is the primary characteristic by which Taureans can be recognized. Their existences are interwoven with the earth element. Time spent in natural surroundings, especially gardens and fields, is found to be restorative. Taureans are blessed with strong constitutions, which can undermined by sedate lifetype and excesses in diet. Life is experienced physically, primarily through their bodies and its sensations. Things are judged as good, if it feels pleasant, and bad, if it seems unpleasant. Taureans tend to resist what they don't know or understand, which makes for some social narrowness. They focus on establishing what they consider as the good life. In most cases the goal is a steady income, a furnished home and a solid family name, and one accumulates these items in this order. Taureans feel that necessities of life must be procured before they can enjoy the niceties. Some Taureans have been known to amass great fortunes.

Even if Taureans are born into money, which is not often the case, the early decisions made about livelihood are critical. Many start off in business schools and the trades because they are eager for a steady income. Those who find themselves stuck in dead end jobs must look at their motivation. It's simple for Taureans to sit and endure a mediocre situation, but it isn't good for them. Some Taureans are drawn to banking, real estate and property management. They also make exceptional investors and brokers. The most obvious of Taurean professions are dairy farming and cattle ranching, but operating a winery, owning a nursery or offering landscaping services could also prove very profitable. Success can be found operating a family restaurant, a gourmet catering service or specialty food shop. The arts are populated with Taureans, especially skilled painters, craftsmen and designers. Some of the finest voices in history belong to Taureans.
