Thebestial sign of Taurus is associated with several myths andbull worship from several ancient cultures. It was the first sign of the zodiac established among theMesopotamians, who called it "The Great Bull of Heaven", as it was the constellation through which the Sun rose on thevernal equinox at that time,[4] that is theEarly Bronze Age, from about 4000 BC to 1700 BC. The equivalent in theHindu calendar isVṛṣabha.
The zodiac sign of Taurus does not entirely align with the constellation of Taurus. Taurus represents the 30 degrees following Aries in the zodiac circle. Aries marks the beginning of spring and new life, while Taurus, a fixed sign, continues and stabilizes what Aries started. During Taurus, life reaches its full bloom, symbolizing growth and steadfastness.
