Zodiac sign: Taurus

Gemstone: Amber

A wonderfully fitting gift for anyone born under the sign of Taurus, the second In the Stars coin combines the zodiac sign and the gemstone amber to help you to be at peace, both with yourself and with others.

 

Taurus

For the Babylonians of the second millennium BC, Taurus was the sign that marked the beginning of spring and a symbol of fertility, growth and renewal. In modern astrology, Taurus runs from 21 April to 20 May and is ruled by the planet Venus. Taurus is an earth sign and, in physical astrology, is associated with the throat and neck. Those born under Taurus are considered reliable, to strive for security and patiently pursue their goals, while enjoying the pleasures of life. Taureans seem to live by the motto: work hard, play hard.

 

Amber

Amber is fossilised tree resin that has been refined by natural processes over millions of years. In ancient times, the Amber Road was an important trade route that was used to transport the extremely valuable amber from the North and Baltic Seas to the Mediterranean. ‘Golden fire’, as the Romans called it, is used in spiritual practices to alleviate stress.
