Taurus

Taurus is the second astrological zodiac sign in the current zodiac line-up. It's an Earth sign, with their ruling planet acting as Venus. People with this sign are born between April 21 and May 20. Taurus is represented by a bull, and like their celestial spirit animal, they often enjoy relaxing in quiet, peaceful environments, with things that soothe their senses. It's a fixed sign, so that means they are associated with qualities like depth and determination. These traits appear in their personalities. They can be represented by deep blues and greens. Emeralds, sapphires and diamonds are their birthstones.

Personality and Traits
Obviously not every Taurus is the same. These personality traits might not define you, or maybe, they describe you perfectly. The traits we're listing here are supposed to represent what Tauruses are sort of all about, so take them with a grain of salt. Now, for an Earth sign in general, the traits of being practical, ambitious, and a little materialistic are to be expected. But something more specific to Tauruses are their stubbornness and stability, for them to be a persistent friend you can rely on. They're considered to be the 'anchor' of the zodiacs. Bulls find comfort in routines, consistency, and don't love to be spontaneous and random. Honesty and trust forms the base of their relationships; they don't like being lied to, not to mention that they can hold terrible grudges. Like their animal representative, they don't shy away from hard work, and have a lot of ambition, keeping high standards for themselves and others around them. But with the ruling of Venus, Tauruses know when to take a break, and relax. They have a taste for the finer things, and like feeling cozy. When looking at the negative characteristics of a Taurus, they're often the flip side of their positive traits. Just like how they're known for being stubborn, they can be a little too set in their ways, resistant to change, and play it off as being dedicated to their values. They aren't too fond of authority, and will talk back to people when their beliefs don't line up. Relaxing can be taken too far, and turn into straight up laziness, and procrastination, so it's important for them to find the balance. While they can be sluggish gluttons sometimes, on the other side of the spectrum, perfectionism is sought out and if something isn't absolutely immaculate, Tauruses can be known to turn their noses up and walk away. It's also important to learn about their personality in different relationships and situations. For example, in a romantic relationship, thanks to Venus, they don't shy away from the romantic, charming aspect of love. However, because of their love of perfection and stability, they need time to think over the pros and cons, so don't expect them to rush in. Because of their loyal and authentic nature, they're looking for a long-lasting, committed partnership. In a platonic friendship, they are trustworthy and dependable, sweet enough, but not afraid to tell you the truth when you're looking like a mess. In their professional lives, Tauruses are patient and thorough. With sharp focus and intensity, they'll see major projects through. It's easier for them to do good work when working on one task at a time, so make sure they don't multitask and attempt different jobs at one time, which would fracture their focus, and cause negative results. Bulls enjoy making money, so you can count on them to work diligently and be a faithful employee.
