Taurus is the second sign and rules the neck and throat. Most people are familiar with the fact that Taurus is known as the Sign of the Bull but not many would associate the saying "bull-necked" with the correspondence between that part of the body and this Sign of the Zodiac.

Everyone born from April 21 to May 21 has the Sun in Taurus and it frequently happens that such people have something about the neck or throat which attracts attention or causes some concern. For example, he neck could be short and thick or the opposite, long and thin. In many cases the throat is subject to infection, inflammation or soreness, while in others there is a strong desire to wear necklaces or other types of ornamentation around the neck.

The throat is intimately connected with the voice and, in the case of many Taureans, there is something quite distinctive about the way in which they sing or speak.

Most of the above characteristics are noticeable in people who were born at the particular hour when Taurus was on the ascendant, regardless of the date of birth.

When the Moon or any of the other planets is in Taurus at the time of birth it will have an influence on the neck or throat. Venus and Jupiter will have beneficial effects. However, when Mars and Saturn occupy this sign, they can cause problems.
