and taurus - ruled by Venus, born between April 20 to May

appears to be north west of Orion high above the southern
horizon on January evenings in mid-northern latitudes. One
of the oldest of the star groups mentioned in ancient records,
it marked the position of the Sun on the first day of spring
more than 4,000 years ago. Taurus contains the orange-hued
star Aldebaran, the 13th brightest star in the sky and 45
times larger than the Sun. The two most famous star clusters-the
Hyades and the Pleiades - are located in Taurus. Along with
numerous double stars, it also includes the Crab Nebula, one
of the strongest radio sources in the heavens. Scorpio and
Taurus are a great partnership. The taurus male and taurus
men are also attracted to Virgo partners. |
Taurus
gemstone:
Diamond
 Diamond,
one of the world's most important mineral resources, is pure,
natural carbon with the atoms organized in a close-packed
cubic arrangement that gives the stones their hardness. The
external forms of natural diamond crystals show the same symmetry.
The commonest crystal form is the octahedron, which looks
like two four-sided pyramids placed base to base.
Because diamond is so much harder than any
other natural or artificial substance known, it is ideal for
both gem and industrial purposes. Special optical properties
guarantee its pre-eminence among gems. First, its high refractive
index, or light-bending ability, enables it to throw back
almost all the light that enters a well-cut gem. This gives
rise to the gem's brilliant, or adamantine, lustre. Second,
it exhibits strong dispersion, or the ability to separate
the various colours of the spectrum. This causes the gem to
throw back the bright flashes of separated colours for which
it is particularly noted.
The diamond has symbolized clarity, strength
in subtlety, steadfastness, and glamour, a perfect fit for
the Taurus. |
