For now is the beginning of a prosperous time for projects and to enjoy the material possessions you have while getting rid of those you do not need. Set your eyes on the goals you've been wanting to achieve and work steadily towards it without rushing. Rushing dangerously may disrupt your plans. This may be a time to use teamwork to accomplish your goals and possibly follow that educational path you have been desiring. These animals are seen as the epitome of strength and power with a dominating presence. Although Bull reminds us to pull from the strength in and around us, it is also a reminder not to let unpredictability or aggression grow unchecked. Bulls have long held significance in human symbolism beginning with appearances in cave paintings up to 17,000 years old. The Bull of the Heavens is a mythic figure from the Ancient Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh from 2150 BC. In Hinduism, a bull named Nandi is worshiped as the carrier of the God Shiva. The constellation Taurus is often connected with abundance and the fertile spring season. The Greeks considered the Bull to be the symbol of Zeus, who ruled the Olympus, and who also was seen connected with power and fertility. The bull is a symbol of determination and perseverance by the Chinese while Hebrews saw the harmony symbolized by the Bull.

These individuals have a level of stubbornness that enables them to reach their goals, carrying themselves with nobility and expecting others to see them with the same respect.
Bulls are adult males of cattle, Bos Taurus, and are an important symbol in many cultures. Bulls are much more muscular than female cows, possessing thicker bones, muscular necks, larger feet, and a large, bony head with a distinctive protective ridge over their eyes. In cattle that bear horns, the male Bull will show thicker, oftentimes shorter horns than the females which can be seen to curl at the ends in some cases. Horns in cattle are not specific to gender, but, rather, are dependent on the specific species. Cattle such as the Ankole-Watusi, Texas Longhorn, Water Buffalo, and Highland cattle are are examples of cattle that have particularly long or curved horns. Some cows will be "polled" in a practice that removes the horns from breeds that normally would grow them. An iconic theme of the Bull is often that red will enrage them, however cattle are actually red-green color blind like most mammals. In bullfighting, it is the movement of the cape that attracts the bull, not the color. Adult Bulls can weigh up to 2,200 pounds and are capable of aggressive behavior born out of their natural instinct to protect the females and young within their herd. An incredible aspect of Cows would be their digestive system. They possess four stomachs with special digestive processes to break down the coarse grasses, stems, and leaves that make of their diet. When the food is first eaten, it is chewed only enough to swallow. This unchewed food is transferred to the first two stomachs, the ruman and the reticulum, where it is stored for later. A short rest after eating often occurs and, later, the cow will regurgitate the unchewed food now called Cud and return to chewing it more completely. Afterwards, it is swallowed to the third and fourth stomachs called the Omasum and Abomasum, where it is finally fully digested. In females, a portion of this digested food enters the bloodstream and its transferred to the Udder where it is made into milk.
