Flowers of Taurus
The sweetly scented damask rose, the violet and primrose, as well
as the soft mallow and vervain, sacred to the druids, are the flowers
of the voluptuous planet, Venus, and so of Taurus. Your trees are
the apple, the apricot and cherry, the birch, the tamarind and the
myrtle, with its sweet, incense-scented leaves. Your herbs are pennyroyal,
tansy and yarrow.
Your essential oils are pennyroyal, rose and violet. Pennyroyal,
which is said to bring peace between lovers, is uplifting and refreshing,
while sensuous rose and delicate violet soothe and harmonise your
powerful Taurean emotions. |
The Jewels of Taurus
The emerald is the precious stone of Taurus, the sign of the earth
when it turns green in spring and life returns after the long winter.
The physical world and life's simple - and sensual - pleasures belong
to Taurus. The emerald's rich green reflects the earth's abundance and
fertility. To wear one is to draw these aspects of existence to you.
Taurus is also a fixed earth sign, strong, enduring and loyal, and,
in many lands, green is the colour of the faithful. It was also thought
to give prophetic powers to increase sensitivity to others.
