sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In Sefer Yetzirah it is the zodiac sign of the bull, linked with the letter Vav and the month Iyar. Interpretation: The book gives each of the twelve simple letters a sign and month, and Vav is joined with Taurus, Iyar and the right kidney, according to some versions. In the primary lessons: In science lessons it appears with constellations and the night sky (the bright star Aldebaran and the Pleiades cluster are in Taurus); in everyday talk, horoscopes and star signs; science teaches that astrology is not a science.
