Taurus Season

Erica Roy

It is finally Taurus season! My favorite time of the year. If you’re unfamiliar with this, I’ll explain that it is astrology. Astrology is the study of the influence that the stars and planets have on human lives. There are twelve different astrology signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Each sign has its own symbol, characteristics, and constellation. Some people don’t believe in this astrology. For example, Esme McCarthy ‘20 says, “I don’t even know what my sign is. I always see people checking their horoscope and claiming it’s accurate, but I guess I never really got into it. It all seems made up to me.” Others, like myself, find astrology extremely interesting and insanely precise.

Taurus season runs from April 20th to May 21st. The symbol for the Taurus sign is a bull. Those born in this time period are known to be extremely stubborn. Gabriel Regalado ‘19 says, “My sister is a Taurus, and she can be very hard to deal with. Everything always has to go her way, there’s no other option.” They are said to have a fixed quality. This means they are stabilizers. Their best qualities are that they are persistent, hardworking, and honest. On the contrary, Taureans can be shy and withdrawn. The bull represents strength, bravery, passion, and determination. To those born April 20th-May 21st, happy birthday!
