from whoguides.com says that taurus is:
The Mesopotamians were the first to call the bull constellation as Gud Anna. It meant “Bull of Heaven.” Ancient bull images are also found in Spain and France. These images were made of bone, stone, and clay.
On the other hand, Babylonian astronomers believed Taurus was one of the oldest constellations in the sky. In the early Bronze and Chalcolithic Age, Taurus signaled the point of vernal equinox. During the vernal equinox of the 23rd century BC, the Pleiades came closest to the sun. Taurus became very visible in the sky. The Babylonians took that as proof of their belief. They took down Taurus in the MUL.APIN as the “Heavenly Bull.” Its Akkadian name was Shur. Taurus was linked with Zeus in Greek mythology. When the Greek god kidnapped the Phoenician princess Europa, he took the form of a bull.
In the East, the Chinese call Taurus as the White Tiger of the West. It is considered one of the four greatest constellations in Chinese astrology. Taurus’s other name is the Great Bridge. Taurus stood for Osiris, father of Horus to the Egyptians. Osiris is the Egyptian god of the dead and the afterlife. Taurus’s horn was a symbol of fertility and riches in both the east and west for thousands of years.
How Taurus is formed
Taurus is easily visible in the northern hemisphere sky. It is between Aries and Gemini. To its north is Perseus and Auriga, to its south Eridanus and Orion, to its southwest Cetus. Hyades is the V-shaped cluster of stars in Taurus’s head. The bull’s red eye is Alderaban. Pleiades is somewhere in Taurus’s shoulder. Leftovers of supernova AD 1054 and Crab nebula are also found inside Taurus. Most times only the tips of the horns are seen up front. The horns are formed by Beta and Zeta. Taurus also contains a spherical cluster of about 400 stars called Hyades. They are found behind Alderaban. It is widely believed three of Taurus’s stars are exoplanets.
The Stars of Taurus
Moreover, Taurus has a number of binary stars. These stars include Struve binaries. The Hyades stars inside Taurus move in the same direction and at almost the same speed. It is believed they all began from one point. The formation dates back between 600-800 million years ago. The stars making up Praesepe may be also related to Taurus.
Taurus has many other less known stars within its sphere. Elnath or Beta Tauri, and Alpha Tauri are close by. Taurus’s highest point occurs in January. Like most constellations, Taurus has open clusters and globular clusters.

from josephinewall.co.uk says that taurus is:
the sign of the bull, is the one that others count on to come through in the clutch. Driven by determination and power, Taureans tend to be successful because of the perseverance that motivates them. Everyone seems to know that a Taurus has a temper, but rarely do they get to see it. Taureans are patient, gentle and possess an enormous amount of common sense. Those born under this sign usually get all that they pursue in life. Being a fixed sign, Taureans do not adapt well to change; they simply cannot be rushed into anything new. Ruled by Venus, Taureans are romantics whose sensibility keeps their feet on the ground even while they dream among the stars.
