It's the Bull that serves as 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 that 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. 

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.

Venus rules Taurus so beauty goes hand in hand with the harmony and stability that follow in the Bull's footsteps. Taurus is a passive earth sign. Dependable and calm are its essential qualities. Taurus is often materially wealthy because of a deep connection with the earth. But you will equally find this expressed in the cozy interiors of a Taurus home, typically featuring nooks and corners where Bulls like to curl up doing their favourite thing, perfectly content if nothing ever changes. Taurus is blessed with an inner security, which means that even within the rough and tumble of life they will find and nurture areas of harmony and peace. 

Taurus take their time in ascertaining who will fit the bill as their true love, but once the decision is made it's for keeps. Bulls are attracted to water signs like Cancer and Pisces. They are often attracted by the energy of signs like Aires, Gemini or Sagittarius but are put off by their playful antics. Perhaps the most important thing Taurus needs to guard against is the tendency to be too possessive and too predictable.
