Taurus is the second sign of the Zodiac and is ruled by Venus. People
posited in this sign of the Zodiac are contented, loving and are expansive in nature.
Practical, reliable Taureans are great lovers of sensual pleasures, although they do tend
to be rather stubborn, possessive and conservative. Firmly anchored in the material world,
they have a fine grasp of what is needed in order to lead the good life. Of course, all
individuals belonging to Taurus are capable in emergencies, where they have an instinctive
understanding of what to do, but under normal circumstances, no-one can force them into
anything without due time for thought and consideration.
Taurus loves the rewards
for the work or task that they perform. Taureans enjoy a tender, even sensual, touch. They
adore comfort and like being surrounded by pleasing, soothing things. Along these lines,
they also favor a good meal and a fine wine. The good life in all its guises, whether it's
the arts or art of their own making (yes, these folks are artistic as well), is heaven on
Earth to the Taurean-born.
Taureans don't start out
with the intention of getting stuck. They simply want to get things done, and it's that
steady, headstrong persistence that winds up being viewed as stubbornness. The Moon is
exalted in Taurus, giving success with matters to do with the public and, combined with
the influence of Venus, a passionate nature endowed with a strong sense of loyalty and
fidelity. You are kind and generous with friends, with whom you develop an unspoken
rapport.
Sometimes individuals of
the Taurus sign can be a bit arrogant about their work and they like to work at their own
pace. There tends to be a focus on material acquisitions in life, and the only reason they
work is for the money it provides to allow them to get what they want out of life. They
crave comfort, satisfaction, and pleasure; all of which they feel can be had with money.
Their strong desire for emotional and material security leads them to work hard.
Taureans are very serious
and loyal once in a relationship, and tend to be very sensual and patient, which generally
makes for great lovers. However, after the novelty of a new love wears off, there's a
danger of becoming a couch potato.
Possessions to the Taurean
are very important. In fact, possessiveness is the major Taurean fault. The two go
together. Taureans love to own beautiful things, and they really do need to be aware that
their partner is not an extension of this basic urge. The realization that no one can
actually be possessed by another can be a cause of real heartache to Taureans. The sooner
they learn to adopt a self-analytical and critical attitude in their expression of love
the better, as this can help them to express themselves in a less claustrophobic way
towards their partners
For some reason, they like
not only to become involved with, but also overburdened by, others' problems. Because of
this involvement, Taureans sometimes feel that a friendship is a property, and they often
get very possessive and jealous.
