The sign of Taurus implies a fixed earthly quality, reflected in a steady, persistent nature. Either great physical strength or the association with personal feelings of security is emphasised. A sense of reliability and good practical ability are usually expressed.

Ruled by Venus, there is often an appreciation of possessions that provide comfort in the material world, particularly with those that stimulate your sense of touch. You love the good things in life and often strive to acquire material objects. You have a taste for quality accoutrements and are easily influenced by the appearance of others.

You generally like to take a long-term view and can be conservative and cautious following middle-age. Taureans are anchored to their convictions, being quite stubborn, and you despise being contradicted or crossed. Slow to anger, all hell can break loose when you crack. However, depending upon other aspects in the birth chart, most Taureans are warm-hearted, trustworthy, and very loyal.

There is a tendency to worry about security, both emotionally and financially. In such cases, you will strive to create a sound arrangement in your work and family environment. Establishing emotional security works in a similar manner to that of material things. Accordingly, you prefer to avoid any form of commitment until you are certain that the relationship can be of practical use to you. Once relationships are formed, you stand steadfast by your friends in times of crises. In such cases, jealousy or too much emphasis on trust might be a trait to guard against, negating the desired security you seek to achieve.

For some Taureans, the appreciation of comfort and pleasure can lead to a certain amount of self-indulgence and even laziness. You may be not be aware of inner motivations and not too bothered with self-recognition. However, you possess an exceptionally strong will, sometimes too strong. If this sense of will is constructively channelled, it will enable you to plan effectively for years in advance. Thus, your possessive instincts steer you determinedly toward your goal, and your efforts usually meet with success.
