Taurus (April 21st-May 21st) is the second sign of the zodiac and its symbol is the

bull. One word can be used to describe a Taurus: dependable. Taurus is a fixed
sign, meaning that Tauruses do not like change. New ways and ideas crease unease
and anxiety in a Taurus. Do not try to rush a Taurus into something new - they will
refuse with the stubbornness of… well, a bull!

Perhaps because Tauruses themselves dislike change and disruption in their lives,
they are very patient with others. They have a steadiness about them that seems to
draw others in.

Dependable
Reliable and dependable, a Taurus rarely has to worry about being friendless or
jobless. Because of their sense of duty, they make great employees and trusted
friends. As part of their dependability, you can count on a Taurus to get a job
done - no procrastinating here. Their stubbornness and tenaciousness can assure
that a job will be done to its completion. Tauruses have a soft and gentle side to
them as well. Although firm and steady is their personality, they are also very
loving, giving people as Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, rules them.
Stable
Tauruses look for stability in all aspects of their lives - love, jobs, and home
life. They are often happiest in the security of their home, as this refuge is very
important to them. They are collectors, taking great pride in their collections,
and have a great eye for antiques and elegant objects. Material items comfort them
and make them feel more protected.
Venus also brings out the host or hostess in a Taurus as they love to entertain.
They relish in eating good food and quality wine in stylish surroundings. They find
inspiration in art, music, and design. Part of the good life to a Taurus is being
able to pamper themselves.

Weaknesses
Like bulls, a Taurus' obstinate nature can be troublesome at times. Some people
view Tauruses as lazy because it may be hard to get them moving, but in truth, they
reserve their energy for projects they want to do, not what others want them to do.
Although you may never see their temper, rest assured that all Tauruses have one.
Underneath the patient surface lies in wait a personality that does not like to be
challenged. If you do not mess with the bull, you will be fine. But, if you do -
watch out!

Tauruses can become very attached in relationships, so they tend to be possessive

if they feel it necessary. People who do not understand that material goods mean
security to a Taurus may see their possessions as self indulgent and greedy.
