Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac. It is symbolised by the bull. It belongs to the earthy triplicity and is rotary in its mode of motion. It is a sign giving solidity and strength to the physical group of signs. The practical aims and ambitions of Capricorn are gathered up and unified in Taurus, bringing gain from labour and the fruit of action. In this sign great powers of retention, conservation, secretiveness and concentration are exhibited, the power to retain and hold being a marked feature of the sign. Of all the fixed signs, Taurus is the most retentive, the life forces being held by matter more securely than in any other sign, and speech is often the only expression the life forces can make through this sign. The most characteristic feature of this sign is its instinct for finance, and its watchword is practicalness. It is the sign of concentrated physical energy and its highest expression is found in song and praise, as the result of concentrated emotion. The true symbol of Taurus appears to be a serpent coiled in a circle; much latent energy and captive power is indicated by this symbol.
