Taurus ♉️

Taurus is a zodiacal type constellation, which means. That the sun's annual path passes through it.

We all know the zodiac sign ♉️ is the second spring sign of the zodiac.
It's a beautiful constellation.

The main star of this constellation is considered to be the star - Aldebaran.

The name of this star comes from the Arabic word الدبران (al-dabarān), - which translates as the pursuer, or the one that follows (after the Pleiades).

The Pleiades is a star cluster that is located on the "neck of the zodiacal calf".

In Western culture, the star Aldebaran was called the "Eye of Taurus" (Latin: Oculus Taurī) because of its location on the "head" of Taurus.

Aldebaran (α Tau / α Taurus / Alpha Taurus) is the brightest star in the constellation and in the entire Zodiac, one of the brightest stars in the night sky.

Also visible in the constellation is the Hyades star cluster.
From Earth 🌎 we can see it projected onto the head of the calf, but it is not in physical proximity.

The brightest stars of the Hyades form a clearly visible v on the bull's face.
Aldebaran is located near the eastern edge of the cluster but is not a member.

In Vedic culture Aldebaran is referred to nakshatra Rohini.

In mythological texts there is a myth, about each of the nakshatras.
