The prayers on this page are a resource for zodiac sign-based rituals or the addition of zodiac signs to a planetary ritual. They are especially useful when the sun or other planets ingress into a new sign. The prayers have a structure of describing what the zoidion are and their functions. Each astrological sign prayer starts with some attributes of the sign, a few requests, significations, and more attributes and requests. As such, they share traits with hymns and prayers. The prayers are a continuation of a previous article, Leo, Virgo, and Libra: A simple Combined Hymn and Prayer for Each of the Zodiac Signs. It is the fourth article in a series of four installments. Readers can refer to the first article for more background on the prayers and how to use them in a ritual setting.
Hymn for Taurus
Oh mighty star constellation, far off, aloft,
Fabled member of the 12 zodiacal signs, tropical
Oh zoidion, I ask to connect with you
To share cosmic friendship and union
Help, help to know and understand you
Domicile of Venus, of all signs in the zodiac
You are one of those most aligned with Venus’s nature
Oh image of the bull, you are harmonious and sensual
You are slow, artistic, practical, and stable
Pleasure-minded one, guide me in your spirit
Oh zoidion, help me connect to your energies
At once a living being, a force, and a symbol
Help me to see you clearly, mighty zoidion
Give me your blessings and help me to be harmonious
With you as the Sun enters your sign in the tropical zodiac
The ritual has ended, you are free from it now
Go, go to your far off abode and remain affable

At once a living being, a force, and a symbol
Help me to see you clearly, mighty zoidion
