Earth · Fixed · ruled by Venus · sign #2 of 12
Modern sign synthesis - not from a classical text. The lucky day, colour and number are the same.
Taurus (Vrishabha) is steady, patient and sensual. Ruled by Venus, natives value comfort, beauty and security, and build slowly but surely.
Finance, banking, agriculture, arts, food, real estate and luxury goods suit their persistence and taste.
Loyal and devoted, they seek a stable, affectionate partner and dislike sudden change.
Counted from the Moon sign, vedha included. These grahas stay in a sign for months or years, so this is what sets the longer tone.

A sign's 30 degrees are nine nakshatra padas - two and a quarter nakshatras. The birth Moon's pada is also where the first syllable of a traditional name is taken from.
The syllables are the jyotisha almanac's table (the avakahada chakra). The Dharmasindhu (1888, p. 133) records that some name a child by it, and says the srauta and grihya texts do not agree; no text stating the table itself was found.
Counted from the janma rāśi (Moon sign) - Phaladeepika 26.2.
