Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Taurus is the 2nd sign in the Zodiac and is represented by a bull. The bull symbolizes Taurus’ strength and stubbornness. It is shown with large horns, ready to impale, if need be. Taurus is a feminine or negative sign. Feminine signs are considered more passive, receptive and sensitive than masculine/positive signs.


Element: Earth

Taurus is one of 3 earth signs in the Zodiac, all of which share the same characteristics. Earth signs are typically solid, dependable, thorough, and responsible. It is the element of strength and growth. The other earth signs in the Zodiac that share these characteristics are Virgo and Capricorn.


Planet: Venus

Venus is all about pleasure, especially pleasure shared with someone else. This Planet concerns itself with love, romance and harmony in our emotional attachments, marriages, friendships and other unions (like business partnerships). Venus also deals with the pleasure we derive from our possessions. Luxuries, a beautiful home, and a sense of refinement all belong to Venus's interests.




Personality Trait: "I Have"

The Taurus person is resourceful, thorough, dependable, responsible, loyal, and patient. Underneath seemingly put-together exterior, Taurus is very different from other signs of the Zodiac. Although they seem to be socializes, Taurus is able to stay apart from the crowd. They only allow others to get as close as they want them too. If a Taurus doesn’t want to listen to your point, it is like talking to a brick wall, Taurus can be very stubborn. Their feelings are also hidden deeper then they appear to be, and wont be shown until the Taurus is ready. Taurus hides what they feel behind everyday activities, and can come across as being withdrawn, boring, or even snobby because of that.


Taurus typically does not deal with change or outside pressure in their life well. They can sometimes live on ‘auto pilot’ and switch off as they get ready to deal with something new. Because they love their creature comforts, change is never welcome in the life of a Taurus. Taurus typically is prepared for everything in order to keep from being surprised by life. When in love, Taurus is a very sensual being.
