Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac, a fixed, earth sign. Taurus can be very practical and concerned with material realities. Taurus is very sensual and may love to enjoy pleasures of the body. Taurus can also be stubborn because, after all, their way is the right way. The planetary ruler of Taurus is Venus, the symbol for Taurus is a bull, and a traditional association is the farmer. Taurus is pleasure-loving but stubborn.

The Sanskrit name for this month is Vrishabha - the Bull
WELO (Taurus) Wild Boar. In Hawaiian mythology, is depicted by the Wild Boar, akin to the Bull Beast of Greek mythology, the fixed earthly sign of the Builder and Producer.

MAY

A swarm of bees in May
is worth a load of hay.

Traditional

Shear your sheep in May
and shear them all away.

Traditional

May was probably named after Maia, the Roman goddess of growth and increase. May is the month of the Flower Moon, and a fitting time to think of the pretty scented herbs such as clove pinks (Dianthus); be sure to get scented varieties when acquiring this lovely plant.

May -- Dyad Moon

The Latin word for a pair refers to the twin stars of the constellation of Castor and Pollux.

Native American Astrology

Many Native American traditions teach that there are twelve Earth Personalities that make up the Earth Medicine Wheel. These are an earth-centered, rather than planet-based, kind of horoscope that gives us valuable information about our totem animal, our personality, and our spirit-task in life.
