About David Hume

Scottish Enlightenment philosopher and historian known for his philosophical empiricism and skepticism. His Treatise of Human Nature and Enquiries are among the most important works of Western philosophy. He argued that human knowledge comes entirely from experience, influencing Kant and generations of subsequent philosophers.

David Hume the Taurus

Taurus is the zodiac's steady hand. A fixed earth sign ruled by Venus, Taurus builds: slowly, deliberately, and to last. There's an unhurried quality here that can read as slowness from the outside and feels, from the inside, simply like refusing to be rushed into something that isn't right yet.

Drawn from the birth date alone: without a birth time there is no Rising sign or houses, and a planet that changed sign that day shows both signs.
