Taurus

Taurus people are solid, strong and reliable. These are among the most practical, realistic people in the world, and they insist on tangible proof before trusting in anything. The second sign of the zodiac is extremely pragmatic, takes one step at a time, with feet solidly planted on the ground. More than any other, this sign is concerned with financial security and is extremely money-oriented.

Taurus likes comfort and beautiful surroundings, being Venus ruled, and will go to great lengths to create an environment that reflects taste and a sense of prosperity. They are often physically beautiful too. There is frequently something very distinctive about the voice. Taurus indulges in sensual pleasures as a rule, and is often a connoisseur of fine foods, wines and cultural pursuits.

Taurus is a slow-moving, stubborn force to be reckoned with. It often seems they are moving backwards, and that they’re immoveable. It can take a lot of insistence to get them motivated. Just like the Bull, if you get Taurus riled up, they’ll dig in their heels, take a few steps backward, and then charge. But once Taurus gets involved with anything, you’ll see a stunning display of staying power. The Fixed quality of this sign is evident in its abundance of stamina and its rock-like, unwavering, dependability.

Whatever Taurus does, its progress is slow and steady, solidly and efficiently establishing its own very big presence, and offering its undying support and dependability.
