Taurus (earth sign, April 20 to May 20): Ylang Ylang Essential Oil

  • Buddha Wood: Early this month, you could benefit from a balanced, meditative mindset.
  • Other helpful oils: Tangerine, Patchouli, Orange Sweet, Blue Tansy. These Essential oils help to evoke a sense of peace and calm. They may help calm the nervous irritation that can be caused from lack of nicotine.



The second house sign of the zodiac is Taurus, the Bull. Taurus is considered a fixed earth sign, ruled by Venus. Those born under a fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius) find it very difficult to change. Earth (Taurus, Capricorn and Virgo) signs are grounded, practical and unchanging. Now add the energy of the Bull, characterized as stubborn, plodding and bull-headed. Poor Taureans, being both fixed and earth, they are the most unmovable, stuck signs in the zodiac, with a stubborn will and resistant nature. Luckily, being ruled by Venus, they also have a gentle, sensitive side; a real saving grace!

Taureans have a gift for beauty, thanks to their Venusian natures. They enjoy pleasure in all aspects of their life, whether it is fine wine, good food, art, music or a beautiful garden. They need a salubrious setting in order to feel at peace within themselves and with others and will take time and care to produce such an environment. Taureans seek harmony and sensuality and will enjoy both almost to excess. They are tactile people, loving delicious, tender, slow and affectionate touch. Essential oils that support their sensual natures are the aphrodisiacs – jasmine, neroli, patchouli, rose, sandalwood, ylang ylang, clary and black pepper.

But Taureans are not all sweetness and light. When in their bullish nature they can be negative, lazy, obstinate, resistant to change and willful. They are capable of concentrating their entire being on a single goal, and working persistently toward that purpose, to the exclusion of other’s reason or suggestions. They have unyielding determination, which makes them hard workers and practical, reliable colleagues, but also can make them appear obdurate and inflexible. Oils that can help the bull easy back from their intractable, headstrong ways are coriander, lemon, peppermint, pine, chamomile, helichrysum, marjoram, neroli, lavender and vetiver.

Taureans tend to carry much of their stress and tension in their shoulders and neck. They are prone to sore throats, earaches, headaches and stiff necks. They carry their emotions in this upper torso region, feeling that they have to shoulder responsibility, carry other people’s emotional loads, be burdened by the woes of the world, duck to avoid confrontation and do backbends for others. All these contortions, brought on by the need to please others, soothe over situations and take away other’s pain, put a load on the poor bull’s upper body. Oils that alleviate aching muscles and stiffness are eucalyptus, cajuput, ginger, juniper, lavender, lemon, black pepper, chamomile, rosemary and sage. These oils are also good for sore throats and upper respiratory conditions. Oils that aid in relieving the bull’s headaches are jasmine, eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender, rosemary, juniper, melissa, rose, clary sage and lemon.

Taureans, because of their practicality and solid outlook on the world, could find a career in anything that gives them a sense of material security and stability. These are not people to change professions often nor do they tire of what they set their minds to doing. They will seek out professions where the environment appears controlled, where there are no surprises and no hectic pace. Banking is a favorite Taurean profession and you will find many accountants, stockbrokers, investment bankers and even tax assessors wearing the bull’s horns. They enjoy nose to the grindstone activities in which plodding methodical work produces results. Though, having said that, there is also the Taurus that loves the beauty in life. Having a Venus influence, Taureans are happy in art, music (they love singing), and in creating beautiful gardens and food. But don’t ask them to try anything new. They prefer the established, tired and true ways, so they always know where they stand. They don’t seek challenges that take them out of their own secure space; rather they can appreciate being fenced in, safe and unfettered by chaos and commotion.

I love the story of Ferdinand, the bull, in the field smelling flowers. And I’m sure many a Taurus can identify with this bull, enjoying the sensual pleasures of the great outdoors with nothing better to do than to be quiet, grounded and at peace with the world.

Do you remember the story of Ferdinand the Bull? He was lazy and just wanted to hang out alone and enjoy the flowers all day, just pondering life. You may find the Taurus acting surprisingly just like Ferdinand! And if you try to make them move, it may be the most frustrating thing you’ve ever done due to their headstrong nature! However, this bullheadedness is coupled with thoughtfulness, steadfastness, and loyalty beyond compare. A Taurus can benefit from something that inspires peppiness, openness and flexibility to keep the Taurus from getting stuck in one spot for too long (figuratively and literally) along life’s path.

Spicy, woodsy, deep and luxurious, with just a hint of the sweetness of the sandalwood. Stimulating, grounding, elevating, brings peacefulness and invigoration, increases openness Caution: Not recommended for people with kidney disease due to black pepper content. Pine can be a skin irritant in some individuals.

Essential oils for Taurus

Taurus (21 April – 21 May)

Ruling Planet :- Venus

Taurus is an Earth sign. Being ruled by Venus, they are the seekers of beauty, exotic and pleasurable things.

They are mostly grounded and methodical as well as practical in their approach. Taurus are caring & sensitive people. They can be very slow, stubborn and almost difficult to change.

Taureans mostly stay calm but if they get angry then one must watch out the Bull. These are their negative attributes.

Essential oils ascribed to Venus are Rose, Ylang Ylang, Palmarosa. Sweet, balancing and grounded qualities of these essential oils make them suitable for Taurus.

Pure Rose essential oil or Rose Otto is very expensive but investing in a trusted brand like this one is a wise idea.

However, you could try using Rose water or Rose Hydrosol in your Bath water as an inexpensive alternative. You can also keep Fresh Rose flower near your bed or work desk as an act of Self Love.

In order to get the Taurus started on a project ; which is very difficult due to their slow, methodical and resistance to change nature, one can use stimulating essential oils like Eucalyptus.

Eucalyptus essential oil will also help the Taurus for releasing tension in their neck and throat area. It will also relax their stiff muscles.

Taureans are ruled by Venus, which influences sensuality and indulgence, so Taureans love to smell alluring and rich. Neroli, rose, and ylang-ylang are alluring fragrances, whilst black pepper and cardamom are *wink* energizing in the bedroom. Venus also rules the neck and throat areas, so Taureans are vulnerable to aches and pains there, which rosemary and lemon can help to alleviate.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) – Frankincense 

Frankincense is a luxury oil that is earthy. Taurus is very much rooted in the material and physical world and this oil acts on the crown chakra, so it is a balancing oil for this sign. It is said to be a very healing oil and it is also very pleasing to the senses. Its herbaceous scent is extracted from the Boswellia serrata tree sap, and it has been a prized oil as far back as we have records in time from ancient civilizations until today. A drop of frankincense oil at the crown is said to purify the spiritual, emotional, and physical realms of the body. It vibrates at a very high frequency and blends well with most other oils and citrus especially.
