Illustration depicting the zodiac sign of Taurus. The goal was to represent a person with traits of a Taurus personality, surrounded by an atmosphere that relates to this sign.
According to astrology, the element of Taurus is Earth and it’s a feminine sign. It’s said that the personalities of people born under this constellation tend to be grounded and logical, patient and steady, and they like stability.
