Hebrew HaKHaH is a fishing hook, and, of course, the source of English HOOK. Fishing requires patience as well as angling with a hook, so the notable Taurus patience might be a factor here, before there is an explosion of horned anger. Hebrew HaCKeH also means to wait. The star description mentions power, another meaning of the Hebrew and English source of “horn.” The unprovoked AL HEEKA native can be gentle, but when the horns finally do come down, you don’t want to run those Pamplona streets.

By some qabalists, perhaps, I haven't run across it in thirty years of doing qabalah, but I don't know everything, and there are lots of different schools of qabalah. The word 'aleph' means 'an ox', as others have pointed out here before. However, the letter is generally associated with the element of Air. Taurus, in these systems, is associated with the letter Vav and trump V, 'The Pope' or 'The Hierophant'. . --- ### Josh Geller *10 Jul 2003, 15:55 · follows Josh Geller* > On Wed, 2003-07-09 at 23:50, Lisa Schaffer-Doggett wrote: > Influence of the constellation: By the Kabalists Taurus is associated > with the Hebrew letter Aleph and the 1st Tarot Trump "The Juggler". > (Robson).
