Taurus
(Lat.)
A most mysterious constellation of the Zodiac, one connected with all the “First‐born” solar gods. Taurus is under the asterisk A, which is its figure in the Hebrew alphabet, that of Aleph; and therefore that constellation is called the “ One ”, the “ First ”, after the said letter. Hence, the “ First‐born” to all of whom it was made sacred. The Bull is the symbol of force and procreative power — the Logos ; hence, also, the horns on the head of Isis, the female aspect of Osiris and Horus. Ancient mystics saw the ansated cross, in the horns of Taurus (the upper portion of the Hebrew Aleph) pushing away the Dragon, and Christians connected the sign and constellation with Christ. St. Augustine calls it “the great City of God ”, and the Egyptians called it the “interpreter of the divine voice ”, the Apis‐Pacis of Hermonthis. (See “ Zodiac”.) (TG).
