TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)
The Astrological Symbol of Taurus is the Bull. The term "bull-headed" applies to Taureans in both its positive and negative connotations. They are among the strongest Signs when it comes to getting things done because of their reliable persistence in moving toward completion of projects. On the other hand, they can be very stubborn and argumentative. Taureans tend to be about personal assets rather than group or family holdings. They can be self-indulgent, even greedy, but they are immensely practical and stable. As such, possessions and physical touch are very important to Taureans. They tend to be richly sensual, enjoying the good things in life and the physical pleasures that come with them.
Taureans have a great love for culture. It's important to them to feel good. They often maintain extensive art collections and tend to be artistic themselves, sometimes through singing. They enjoy partnership and marriage, and use their charm -- as well as their focused perseverance -- to work toward harmony and personal security. Their sentimental, loyal, and romantic nature is sometimes wounded when they are contradicted or given orders. Taureans tend to be even tempered and solid citizens. Their need for physical pleasure can lead to an overemphasis on money and possessions to the point of materialism, but their innate conservatism ensures that they are cautious and practical rather than extravagant. They may be more focused on status than they should be, and they may be perceived as snobs. However, despite their opinionated appearance, they tend to be tolerant and gentle, and they are always dependable.
In their leisure time, Taurus tends to enjoy outdoor activities that allow them to get close to the Earth. They often enjoy hiking. Like the Bull, they tend to be strong and well-built, and may enjoy tests of strength. Conversely, their appreciation of art and culture sends them to the opera and exclusive galleries. In love relationships, Taurus is devoted, romantic, and sometimes jealous!
The great strength of the Taurus-born is their stability and perseverance. Their methodical determination enables them to be productive when other people have long since given up. They are among the most dependable characters of the Zodiac.
