Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac, ruled by Venus and symbolized by the bull. And like a bull, Taurus are known for being stubborn. They despise change and the interruption of routine makes them anxious and restless. You can’t force them to try something new unless they want to.
Although stubborn, a Taurus can be very dependable and dependable. They have a great sense of duty, which makes them both loyal friends and good employees. A Taurus employee is very reliable and tenacious, always meeting deadlines if he doesn’t finish beforehand. His personalities make it almost impossible for them to accept defeat.
They are rarely without friends due to their patience and concern for others. They are very affectionate, perhaps influenced by their ruling planet Venus.
Taureans thrive best when they live in a stable environment. They feel safe in their home and see it as a refuge from the rest of the world. They like job security and enjoy strong, loving relationships.
They also have a great love of beauty, again perhaps due to the influence of Venus. Taurus love to collect things like antiques. Having these items in their homes makes them feel more secure and allows them to pamper themselves. They are also natural hosts who enjoy inviting people to view their collections. They appreciate good food, good earnings, good art, and good music as part of the good life.
Many people can have problems with the inflexibility of Taurus. They are often seen as not only stubborn and inflexible, but also lazy because it can be hard to get them to do anything. In reality, the Taurus is just saving their energy for the things they want to do rather than something someone else wants them to do.
Unlike a real bull, the Taurus is not impulsive. He or she may have a short temper, but can control it very well due to his or her patience and loving nature. However, like the bull, if you mess with a Taurus enough, you will get the horns.
Parents of Taurus children will learn early on that they can’t force the child to do anything they don’t want to do. This includes learning to walk and talk; they will do it on their own schedule. If they have attacks, it is better to handle them with reason than with force. They will hate change, so try to keep their lives as stable as possible. And don’t mess with their rooms, which they view as their secure domains. Because Taurus children like stability, they should enjoy school, follow all the rules, and rarely make waves. While Taurus are loving people, Taurus children tend to be loners so you may need to encourage social interaction. They tend to be materialistic, so sharing with others can be a problem.
Physically, a Taurus is susceptible to pain in the neck and throat. They may have more colds than others and suffer from laryngitis, sore throats, and thyroid problems.
Famous Taurus include George Clooney, Vladimir Lenin, Barbra Streisand, Charlotte Bronte, Sigmund Freud, Al Pacino, Bing Crosby, Tony Blair, Cher, Stevie Wonder, Leonardo da Vinci, Bono, Pete Townshend, Ray Charles, Billy Joel, Malcolm X, Catherine the Great, Queen Elizabeth II, William Shakespeare, Reggie Jackson, and Florence Nightingale.
A Taurus will be among the most trustworthy people you will ever meet. Their stubbornness makes them stick to a job until it is completed. They are affectionate and gentle, but don’t push them too hard or their “bull” personality will come out.
