It’s Taurus Season! Learn All About the Taurus Zodiac Sign Here

The Taurus sign is dependable, patient and a lover of all that is beautiful. The first earth sign in the zodiac, Taurus cherishes stability and sensuality and anything soft, silky, luxurious and rare. Material possessions rule this zodiac sign but not in a greedy “gotta have it all” way . . . there is just so much to be enjoyed in life!

Taurus loves good food, stunning art, long baths, meaningful sex, silky fabric, and deep and lasting love. Just like the earth, this sign reminds the rest of the zodiac signs that pleasures are meant to be enjoyed and there is beauty in everything and everyone.

Some famous Taurus names you might recognize: Stevie Wonder, Shakespeare, Audrey Hepburn, Cher, The Rock, Adele, Jerry Seinfeld, Janet Jackson, Willie Nelson, and Lizzo.

Life isn’t always fun and games, however, and while Taurus does like to keep the peace and stay calm, they can and will get angry if pushed enough. This isn’t something they like to do, but they will defend themselves or a loved one with the loyalty that only a bull has.

These Are the Defining Characteristics of the Taurus Sign:

Anyone born between April 20th and May 20th has their sun in Taurus and can deeply relate to these characteristics.
 

Strengths

Taurus is loyal and loving, making them the ride-or-die type friends that will always have your back and hold your earrings if need be. This earth sign loves to make, spend and save money. This makes them strong financial planners and someone you can always borrow money from or gain sound financial advice.

Ruled by Venus, they are one of the most sensual zodiac signs and you can bet they know how to work it in the bedroom. Determined and strong, they are in it for the long haul and devoted to partnership . . . romantic or otherwise.
 

Just like the earth, this sign reminds us that pleasures are meant to be enjoyed and there is beauty in everything and everyone.

 
Taurus is known for their unwavering determination and resiliance which empowers them to persevere through challenges. They are practical and grounded, adept at approaching tasks and decisions with a sense of reliability and stability. Due to this, Taurus are often the pillars of support for those closest to them.

The sense of loyalty in this zodiac sign fosters deep and meaningful relationships. You can expect a Taurus to prioritize the well-being and happiness of their loved ones above all else – who doesn’t want that in their lives?!

Between their appreciation for life’s sensual pleasures, plus their strong work ethic (more on that below), the Taurus individual can often create a harmonious balance between indulgence and responsibility.
 

Weaknesses

Known to be incredibly stubborn and unrelenting, Taurus will defend anything they truly believe in to the finish. Hedonism can be a problem for some of these earth signs as they can easily overindulge in the pleasures of life.

The element of earth can make Taurus lazy, static, and overly attached to material possessions. Change can be difficult for this zodiac sign to accept. But, when embraced, it can truly help them charge with the passion and desire that draws them to all things of beauty and pleasure.

Often, they prefer consistency to change, and have a hard time relinquishing control or fully trusting someone, which can create challenges in their relationships (more on this below).

Taurus can sometimes be reluctant to take risks or put themselves out there, and many have an aversion to conflict that manifests in passive-aggressive behavior and a hard time using non-violent communication.
 

Love and Intimacy

Taurus moves slowly through life, and this is their approach to love as well. This sign is definitely in it for the long haul and casual dating doesn’t appeal to this gentle bull. Love-making is a sacred act and their needs need to be nurtured and understood. A sensual and giving lover, the Taurus sign is devoted.

Taurus brings an unwavering loyalty and dedication to their relationships and typically value stability and security above all else. They are known for their sensuality and appreciation of the finer things in life. A common way for Taurus to express their love is through gestures of comfort and indulgence.

Trust is paramount to a Taurus, and they take their time to build a strong foundation of trust and commitment with their partner. On the opposing side of the coin, they are protective of the people they love and as a result, can become possessive at times.
 

Career

Taurus are sensual souls that crave stability and financial gain. They are determined and hard workers that excel in professions where they can be relied upon to lead and contribute in a meaningful way.

Thinking fast under pressure is a skill, as well as keeping the peace between coworkers. You want this sign on your side when the going gets tough because they can carry much more than their own weight and responsibility.

Taurus thrives in careers that offer stability, and that reward them for their admirable work ethic and reliability. This zodiac sign excels in professions where they have the opportunity to utilize their practicality and patience.

Some careers that suit the Taurus characteristics are banking or accounting, real estate or propery management, administrative roles, culinary arts, landscape architecture, or agriculture.

A dominant theme for Taurus in their career is management and leadership roles where their reliability and steadfastness let them shine.

Embrace the Taurus Bull

The bull as an animal is seen as brute, violent, careless and unrelenting. But that couldn’t be further from the truth for the Taurus zodiac sign.

This earth sign, ruled by Venus, embodies stability, determination, and sensuality. Individuals born under this sign are known for their unwavering loyalty and dedication, which makes them ideal employees, bosses, friends and partners.

While their steadfast nature can manifest as stubbornness at times, their commitment to their relationships and appreciation for the finer things in life make them lovely companions.

Like Ferdinand the Bull, this zodiac sign is kind, gentle, loving and deeply caring for all living things and their loved ones. Loyal and serene, the Taurus sign is extremely sensitive and also can be very artistic.

Here’s to you, Taurus!
