Taurus (the Bull) April 21st - May 21stTaurus is the 2nd sign of the zodiac, represented as the fore part of a bull. It is the snow white Bull which took Europe across the sea to Crete. The bull was Zeus in disguise and Europe bore him three children - Minos, Rhadamanthys and Sarpedon.

Some say that Taurus is a later Cretan bull that was slain by Herakles.
