The TAURUS

Characteristics: Patient, Reliable, Warmhearted, Loving, Persistent, Determined, Placid and Security Loving, Jealous, Possessive, Resentful, Inflexible, Self-Indulgent and Greedy

Taurus loves pleasure and material gain. For them the outcome is all that matters, and it only matters if they have gained. They are physically sensual and tender, and love to bask in excess. Their ultimate pursuit is "the good life" in every sense of the phrase.

Like the bull that represents them, Taurus are often seen as stubborn. However, what some see as stubbornness is actually the Taurus' will to stay their chosen course to reach their goals. Bulls are pragmatic and dependable, and left to trudge along at their own speed usually attain that which they seek.

Being born in the House of Venus, it really should come as no surprise these self-indulgent pleasure seekers are also great lovers of the arts and all things beautiful. They need to be surrounded by beauty to be happy. Taurus also value tradition, stability and loyalty. At times they may be very sentimental, emotional. Conversely, there is nothing impractical about the slightly conservative Taurus. They are not risk takers. Nor are they likely to fall for get rich quick schemes. While the ways of the stable Taurus may not suit others, they ensure these Bulls will find the earthly rewards they seek.

The Taurus In Love:

Taurus people are deeply romantic and very loyal. They value the harmony a happy home life creates. They will go to extremes to keep their mate happy, which, when it comes to love, is no sacrifice to the sensuous Bull. The Taurus need for the good life is equaled by their need to share that life with someone special.

Sexually, Taurus is straightforward and down-to-earth. A no-nonsense approach is favored and too much verbalizing or complex fantasizing is not a Taurus trait. This does not mean they are not capable of feeling love. Indeed, the depth of a Taurus's passion may not be understood by others. Music or other forms of sensual, non-verbal expression will strike a chord in the Taurus nature. Very faithful to friends and family, Taurus prefer long-lasting relationships and seek to build strong alliances, although they can be misled by their sensual natures, especially when young.

Taurus Woman

The Taurus woman is down to earth and practical, though she can be headstrong when it comes to matters of love and sex. With her feet firmly on the ground, the Taurus woman is not fond of large or over the top romantic gestures.

The Single Taurus Woman: While the Taurus woman has a sensitive heart and a yearning for love, the more practical characteristics of this sign of the zodiac often wins out. Dating may not always be on the Taurus' mind, if she has a busy life. Being with someone on a date may seem a frivolity in the face of all of her day to day responsibilities.

The Taurus Woman in a Relationship: When it comes to love and sex, the Taurus woman is caring and compassionate. Taurus is a nurturing lover, willing to put the needs of her partner before her own. The Taurus woman will give her all to make it work. An earth sign, her practicality and responsibility make her one of the most serious signs of the zodiac.

Taurus Man

Sweet and kind, the Taurus man is the ultimate nice guy of the zodiac. The Taurus man is often slow to anger and quick to forgiveness. He is definitely the type to hold open doors on a date. Taurus men can be stubborn when it comes to certain things that are important to him, which can lead to arguments, though these characteristics show up far less often than the traits that lend themselves to Taurus' gentler side.

The Single Taurus Man: When it comes to love and sex, the single Taurus man has a tendency to fall under the catch all of 'nice guys finish last.' This can be discouraging for him, and with that stubborn spirit, the Taurus man may be less likely to get out there and try to date again. But once he has his heart set on a certain someone, the Taurus is always persistent in his pursuit of them. The Taurus man is a one woman man.

The Taurus Man in a Relationship: The Taurus man's strong feelings can sometimes be hindered by his dislike of speaking his feelings. Taurus likes to show his significant other how he feels while dating, rather than just say the words. The Taurus man truly lives up to being an earth sign, treating everything seriously, even things that may seem trivial to others.
