What Taurus is like
Taurus trusts what it can touch. It is patient, loyal and calm, and it can stay calm long after everyone else has panicked. It is also stubborn. Once Taurus decides, it does not move, and a push only makes it dig in deeper.
Taurus is a fixed earth sign, ruled by Venus. Its symbol is the bull.
Taurus in love
In love Taurus is slow to start and slow to leave. It shows care through food, touch, gifts and showing up on time. It wants a partner it can count on, and it can hold on to a relationship long after it has stopped working.
Taurus gets on most easily with the other earth signs and with the water signs, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. The opposite sign, Scorpio, pulls and pushes at once. A real match depends on whole charts: the Moon, Venus and Mars matter as much as the Sun.
Taurus at work
At work Taurus builds things that last. It is good with money, materials, food, gardens, music and anything that rewards care over speed. It wants fair pay and a pace it chooses.
