Which zodiac constellation is represented by a bull? Taurus is the bull-shaped constellation of the zodiac.

Taurus is one of the oldest recognized constellations, with bull imagery appearing in Mesopotamian astronomy as early as the Bronze Age. In Greek mythology, it is often associated with Zeus transforming into a magnificent white bull to carry Europa away. Other traditions connected the constellation with sacred bulls and agricultural renewal.

Taurus lies between Aries and Gemini and is especially prominent in the Northern Hemisphere's winter sky. Its brightest star is Aldebaran, an orange giant that appears to mark the bull's eye. The V-shaped Hyades cluster forms much of the bull's face, while the nearby Pleiades are often called the Seven Sisters.

A common mix-up is confusing the constellation with the astrological sign. They share the name, but Earth's axial precession means the modern Sun-sign dates no longer line up precisely with the constellation's actual boundaries. Taurus also contains Messier 1, the Crab Nebula, a remnant of a supernova observed in 1054.
