The Astrological Sun Signs: The Personality of Taurus

Those born between April 20th and May 20th are connected to the sign of Taurus, the second of the sun signs. This sign symbolizes dependability and an unwavering perseverance. Taurus is the sign of the Bull, and individuals with this trait often express the words, “I have.”

The sun sign isn’t the only component in astrology. Moon signs, houses, and aspects also have their part to play. However, most birth charts are primarily based upon the sun sign.

The Character of Taurus

If you were born under the sign of Taurus, you may not be the first one to strike out for new horizons, but you will often be the determined follower, the one who will see things through to the end. This stubborn sign has a tendency towards tenacity, and often exhibits a relentless drive for success. In pursuit of this success, you are often an immovable force, stubborn and strong.

Taurus is one of the fixed signs, so you are unlikely to be fond of change, especially unexpected change. As a general rule, you resent being rushed into anything, often to the point where you simply refuse to accept change at all. Sometimes, a new approach will cause anxiety and create a great unease within you. You tend to prefer the familiar, and are probably prone to thinking “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”

You may have quite the temper, but tend not to show it. You can be patient and gentle, and might only exhibit anger when you are strongly opposed, perhaps even pushed in a direction you do not want to go. Beneath your gentle exterior, there may be a storm brewing. Like the bull your sign resembles, you may not be looking for a challenge, but you have the ability to assert yourself if anyone seeks to challenge you.

As this sign is ruled by Venus, you may possess a gentle and loving side, the side of you which can be creative and inspired, and you may have a great love of art and music. As an earth sign, you are likely the very nature of stability, and this combines with your innate creative side, resulting in a responsible, steadfast person who usually has a deep appreciation of the more elegant things. Because of this tendency, Taurus can be materialistic, thinking of possessions, wealth, and money quite frequently.

The Sign of Taurus and Its Relationship with Others

Taurus likes security and permanence, and so you are likely to seek these things in your career, home, and relationships. While others may be out and about, having a fine time, you are probably happier at home, surrounded by your possessions and secure in the affections of your mate. You are unlikely to stray, whether it be in your relationship or in your career aspirations.

Others may see you as thrifty or even cheap. However, you simply may not give lavish tokens of your appreciation and affection because you are not a carefree spender, preferring to see great value in return for your hard-earned money. For most born under the sign of Taurus, it can be difficult to express affection, as you tend to be private and self-contained. Others may see this as a negative, but you see it as prudent and wise.

Living with a Taurus isn’t always an easy thing to do. It is possible that you are secretive, stingy, highly opinionated, suspicious, and possibly even slightly dogmatic in nature. Your stubbornness may reveal itself in your desire to stay in one place, and your friends and family may be frustrated by what they interpret as self-indulgence and laziness. You may not be quite as lazy as they think you are. In fact, you probably have great stores of energy, but this is energy that you will use when you choose. You cannot be forced into anything.

You may be shy and reserved most of the time, but you can be a wonderful host or hostess, when the mood strikes you. You likely prefer the company of a few close friends, and may shun larger gatherings. You probably enjoy pampering yourself with a good meal and maybe a fine glass of wine, but you’re not prone to the excesses of some of the other signs, such as Leo or Libra.

Taurus is an endearing combination of dependability, sensibility, and sensitivity. Those born under this sign are usually practical and solid, but they may be romantics at heart. The correspondences of Taurus are a powerful influence for this sign, and contribute to the pure stubbornness that is Taurus.
