Taurus preceder (5)
I believe the answer is:
aries
'taurus preceder' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for aries that I've seen before include "Philip -, English poet" , "First sign of the zodiac" , "House" , "A sign from Heaven" , "Zodiacal sign also known as the Ram" .)
