TAURUS ZODIAC SIGN
Taurus is the sign that harvests the fruits of labor. People born with their Sun in Taurus are sensual and tactile, considering touch and taste the most important of all senses. Smart, ambitious, and trustworthy, Taurus is the anchor of the Zodiac. Amazing friends, colleagues, and partners, Taureans value honesty above all else and are proud that their personal relationships tend to be drama free. Bulls get the reputation of being stubborn, but they're not always stuck in their ways.
Taurus, the second sign of the zodiac and the ruler of the second house, is all about reward. Unlike the Aries love of the game, the typical Taurus personality loves the rewards of the game. Think physical pleasures and material goods, for those born under this sign revel in delicious excess. This zodiac sign is also tactile, enjoying a tender, even sensual, touch. While Taurus has an intense internal drive, they sometimes have trouble respecting authority, especially if asked to do something they think is pointless or should be done differently. Learning to be flexible and go with the flow can be an advantage to Taurus. And while Taureans have a rich internal life, they value external attributes and may overlook someone who doesn't have the perfect outfit, car, or resume.
Practical and well-grounded, They feel the need to always be surrounded by love and beauty, turned to the material world, hedonism, and physical pleasures. When it comes to love, Taureans are all about honesty, which is why a first date with a Bull may resemble a job interview. They're not being rude—they're built for partnerships and are simply trying to see if you're a good fit at the start. And once you begin dating a Taurus, forget about white lies. A Taurus would much rather hear that an outfit is unflattering than endure hollow compliments. Taurus will hold a grudge against someone who lies, even if it's a lie just to make them feel happy.

TAURUS SYMBOL, QUALITY, ELEMENT, AND PLANET
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, Taurus doesn’t start out with the intention of getting stuck. This horoscope sign simply wants to get things done, and it’s that steady, dogged persistence that winds up being viewed as stubbornness. It’s the Bull that serves as the Taurus’s symbol, and along with that comes the expectation that their traits include being bull-headed and stubborn.
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? Bulls are actually among the most practical and reliable zodiac signs, and they are happy to plod along, as it were, in pursuit of their goals. Perhaps, but if you toiled as laboriously as this sun sign does, you’d need some goodies, too. Bulls are fond of all things pretty, whether it’s in their home, at a museum or on the stage. Life as one sweet pas de deux is how the Taurus-born like it. To onlookers, this may look like so much materialism and blessed excess, but Bulls really aren’t interested in living without beauty in their lives. Seeing as how Bulls are generally strong and well-built, it’s no surprise that these folks enjoy testing their strength on the field of play. Expect to find a Bull engaged in a spirited game of hoops or mountain climbing. Hiking is also a favorite pastime, since it keeps Taurus close to their beloved earth. Indoor adventures are also favored by Bulls, which is why the opera or ballet is right up a Taurus’s alley.
Taurus is ruled by Venus, a lovely goddess who didn’t deny herself many things. In ancient Roman mythology, Venus was the Goddess of Love, Beauty, and Pleasure, and Taurus has pretty much taken up where she left off. The element associated with Taurus is earth. No pie-in-the-sky for these practical folks, since they’d much rather be on terra firma.
Taurus values harmony in their personal lives, so this star sign will 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, Taurus’s are true romantics and loyal to the core. Beauty to the Bull also comes in the way of a happy home life, one that includes a partner and a stable relationship.
