Description
Universally, the bull has many symbolic meanings. Images of bulls have been depicted since the evolution of humanity, and can be found in ancient art, literature, astronomy, and astrology. It can be deeply related to solar energies, determination, strength and virility. In general, a bull is symbolic of power and fertility.
On another level, TAURUS is a representation of our relationship with finance. Drawing on the human relationship to money, human beings have taken the bull motif as an emblem of economic growth and prosperity. The term “bull market” refers to the condition of a market that is expected to rise. The precise positions of the figures atop the bull elicit a feeling of poise and balance, as if their movements are a language unto themselves. Our bodies as human beings each have their own story to tell.
