About Taurus
Taurus, the second Sign of the Zodiac, is all about reward. Unlike
the Arian's love of the game, Taureans love the rewards of the game.
Think physical pleasures and material goods, for those born under
this Sign revel in delicious excess. They are also a tactile lot,
enjoying a tender, even sensual, touch. Taureans adore comfort and
like being surrounded by pleasing, soothing things. Along these
lines, they also favor a good meal and a fine wine. The good life
in all its guises, whether it's the arts or art of their own making
(yes, these folks are artistic as well), is heaven on Earth to the
Taurean-born.
It's the Bull which is the Taurean's mascot, and along with that
comes the expectation that these folks are bull-headed and stubborn.
Yes, they are. Hey, this Sign has a Fixed Quality attached to it
after all, so expect that things will occasionally grind to a halt.
That said, Taureans don't start out with the intention of getting
stuck. They simply want to get things done, and it's that steady,
dogged persistence which winds up being viewed as stubbornness.
Bulls are actually among the most practical and reliable members
of the Zodiac, and they are happy to plod along, as it were, in
pursuit of their goals. The good news for Bulls is that once they
get to the finish line, they'll swaddle themselves in material goods.
A self-indulgent beast? Perhaps, but if you toiled as laboriously
as these folks do, you'd need some goodies, too.
Taurus is ruled by the Planet Venus, a lovely gal who didn't deny
herself many things. In ancient Roman mythology, Venus was the Goddess
of Love, Beauty and Pleasure, and Taureans have pretty much taken
up where she left off. Bulls are fond of all things pretty, whether
it's in their home, at a museum or on the stage. Life as one sweet
pas de deux is how the Taurean-born like it. To onlookers, this
may look like so much materialism and blessed excess, but Bulls
really aren't interested in living without beauty in their lives.
Beauty to the Bull also comes in the way of a happy home life, one
which includes a partner and a stable relationship.
Taureans value harmony in their personal lives, so they'll work
hard on keeping their mate happy. The Bull's penchant for sensual
pleasures, of course, can only help things along! Bulls can also
be the sappiest of sentimentalists. Will all this overweening attention
to their mate turn a Bull into a possessive mess? Probably not,
although these folks do have to manage their tendency to latch on
a bit tight. At the end of the day, however, the Taurean-born are
true romantics and loyal to the core.
The Element associated with Taurus is Earth. No pie-in-the-sky
for these practical folks, since they'd much rather be on terra
firma. Bulls tend toward conservatism, and this is often seen in
their day-to-day behavior. No far-out schemes (that's Air) or shrieking
ultimatums (more like Fire) here. Taureans far prefer to take each
day slowly and steadily and work toward their ultimate goal. Along
these lines, those born under this Sign are happy to stick with
their projects until they have reached a successful conclusion.
They are also extremely patient and dependable along the way. Does
that sound earthy enough? The only kink in this well-oiled chain
is the heckler in the gallery that tries to upbraid the Bull. These
folks may not have a hair-trigger temper, but it's short enough.
Bulls in a hissy fit can get pretty argumentative, but eventually
they'll calm down and come back to center, since these folks would
much rather be Zen. The Earth in this Sign does tend to act as a
balancing mechanism so that things never get truly out of hand.
For every one person who considers the Bull a pain, there are two
who will say 'No way!' and happily take the Taurean's gentle charms
any day.
Seeing as how Bulls are generally strong and well-built, it's no
surprise that these folks enjoy testing their strength on the field
of play. Expect to find a Bull engaged in a spirited game of hoops
or mountain climbing. Hiking is also a favorite pastime, since it
keeps Taureans close to their beloved earth. Indoor adventures are
also favored by Bulls, which is why the opera or ballet is right
up a Taurean's alley. When it comes to love, the Taurus-born are
devoted, romantic and somewhat possessive. Their sensual nature
has a way of erasing any mistakes! Since Taurus rules the neck and
throat, Bulls would be wise to keep a silky scarf at hand, ideally
in a warm (and soothing) earth tone.
The great strength of the Taurean-born is in their stability, loyalty
and dogged determination. Bulls want to get the job done, and they
will. What better way to get the riches they so fervently crave?
