The Sabian Symbols of Taurus

The Bull · April 20 – May 20 · Earth, fixed, ruled by Venus

Taurus runs from 1° to 30° of the zodiac — thirty degrees, and so thirty Sabian Symbols. Each is a single received image, dictated to clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler by astrologer Marc Edmund Jones in 1925. Together they form a sequence: a thirty-step arc through the territory Taurus governs.

As an earth sign in the fixed mode, ruled by Venus, Taurus colours every image that falls in it — a pull toward the concrete — energy that wants to build, hold, and make real.
