Sun Signs and Love: Attracting a Taurus

You cannot rush a Taurus, so if you're hoping to attract this practical sign on a romantic level, be prepared to wait. They will not rush headlong into a new relationship, romantic or otherwise, but instead take the time to build a strong foundation before committing. This 'building' will take time and often requires patience, but Taurus will appreciate you all the more for waiting.

Taurus is often slow to make up his or her mind. Because of this, the first move may be entirely up to you. If you wait, if you simply sit around waiting for Taurus to take the lead, you may end up missing the opportunity entirely. Don't be afraid to pursue Taurus, but be prepared to do so slowly.

To keep a Taurus interested show him or her that you like to be around them. Don't blow them off, especially in the beginning of the relationship, or Taurus will quickly dismiss you as unreliable and move on to someone new. When you are with Taurus, try to be amusing, for Taurus responds best to those who can make them laugh. Remember that anyone born under the sun sign Taurus will have a broad and robust sense of humor. Physical jokes are most likely to make them laugh, but they respond to most types of humor. Take a risk and try to be funny if you want to keep Taurus interested.

The Taurus man, like the Taurus woman, enjoys a good meal. Feed either gender well by either cooking at home or dining at a decent restaurant. Don't expect Taurus to be satisfied with a fast food joint. They'll expect a place where the chef knows what he's doing and the wine list offers a decent selection. If you decide to cook for Taurus, show that you can handle yourself in the kitchen and don't hold back on the portions.

Taurus typically finds many things fascinating, so it shouldn't be hard to hold a conversation. But if you find the conversation lagging, try talking about money. Most individuals born under this sign can talk about money and finances for hours, so at least there will be conversation. And while Taurus loves to hear from others, make sure you don't monopolize the conversation. Taurus likes to share as well, so give them that opportunity.

Finally, it's important to offer compliments to the true Taurus, but they must be genuine. Taurus can see through falsehood with ease and they do not appreciate it. So praise their hair, jewelry, or clothing, by all means, but make sure the words coming out of your mouth are full of honesty.

A relationship with the patient Taurus is typically stable and steady. Though they are perhaps not the most inventive of people, they are always there for those they love and their love runs deep. Once a Taurus is committed, it takes a great deal of strive to drive him or her away, so a relationship with Taurus can last a lifetime.

Sun Signs and Love: The Taurus Man

Taurus is the sign of practicality, so it should come as no surprise that the Taurus man is entirely sensible, even in love. He won't necessarily sweep you off your feet, but only because the idea wouldn't occur to him. The Taurus male is very deliberate in his search for love. He's looking for the woman who can satisfy him for eternity, not the flavor of the month. Patience is natural for him, so he's certainly willing to wait. You won't see the true Taurus man jumping into a relationship without looking.

If he's rejected by another, expect him to hide it well. He'll feel the rebuff acutely, however, and won't likely give that person another chance to hurt him. This sun sign is also an incurable romantic, just like the Taurus woman, so he'll treat his partner well and love her (or him) for who they really are. Unlike some of the other signs, Taurus has no illusions. He won't put his partner on a pedestal, but he will cherish her.

If you're in a romantic relationship with a Taurus male, don't expect him to say "I love you" very often. Taurus is not a verbal sun sign. Instead he'll show his love with his unending generosity. Expect gifts, but practical ones, for he values the money he spends. This doesn't mean he won't give you jewelry. It does mean he'd rather save up for a truly nice necklace than get you a trinket from the pharmacy.

Though Taurus may seem reserved, he really has quite a passionate nature. He enjoys his sex life and is direct about his needs. Don't expect a lot of variation, however, for Taurus likes it simple. Don't worry, though. His vitality and stamina more than make up for his lack of creativity in the bedroom.

This sign is one you can depend on, so expect a romantic relationship with Taurus to be practical, affectionate, and highly sensual. The Taurus male won't ever let you down because his own stubborn nature won't let him.

Sun Signs and Love: The Taurus Woman

If you want sensuality and stability rolled up in a single package, look no further than the Taurus female. She is the Aphrodite of the sun signs, but she is not at all promiscuous. Anyone looking for a one night stand should definitely seek elsewhere. The Taurus woman may be the very soul of sensuality, but she's looking for stability above all else. If you're not going to offer her that, expect her to drop you like a hot potato.

Being in love brings out the very best qualities in her. She is protective and nurturing, passionate and caring, earthy and devoted. She is straightforward and affectionate, but never coy. She is also lusty in bed and secure enough in her own judgment to never give credence to rumors. A true prize for any man.

A Taurus woman has a lot to offer, but she also demands much in return. She expects to get out of a relationship what she put in, so if a man isn't interested in being full partners he'd better search elsewhere for a mate.

Expect this woman to have plans of her own, plans that she won't necessarily share. A true Taurus lady never leaves such matters as love and sex to chance. It will all be planned down to the smallest detail, and the plan always goes off without a hitch. And usually this all happens without her mate ever knowing there was a plan in the first place.

The Taurus woman is the most romantic in the zodiac. She is serene, elegant, and sexy. Some may find her a little boring with her ruthless adherence to plans and rules, but the person who attracts her should count himself (or herself) blessed.

Astrological Sun Signs: Taurus in Brief



Those born between April 21st and May 21st are ruled by Taurus, whose astrological symbol is the head of a bull. When the sun enters the sign of Taurus, people start to get restless. In ancient times, farmers would have hitched up their oxes and methodically plowed the earth and began planting seeds. Today, Taurus represents planning and the saving of resources so that they can be allocated in a practical and responsible manner. This is the season of fertility and the warmer weather allows us to enjoy the sensuous sights, sounds, and smells of the earth as the summer approaches.

Like the Earth itself, Taurus is productive, strong, dependable, patient, slow, and practical. The bull is also generous when treated with respect but can become stubbornly furious when crossed or pushed too far. The part of the body ruled by Taurus is the neck and the voice.

People born under the sign of Taurus function best through concentration and stubborn adherence to a preconceived plan.

Astrological Sun Signs: The Details of Taurus

The second of the sun signs is Taurus, and those born between April 20th and May 20th are often under its influence. Taurus can be quiet, affectionate, and patient, and tend towards stability, determination, and practicality.

The Taurus Personality

In astrology, creating a personality profile for a specific sign is a complex process involving many different factors. In regards to Taurus, these factors come together to describe someone who is practical, stubborn, and loyal.

Taurus is a fixed, feminine earth sign. Feminine sings are inwardly directed and strong through inner reserves. Fixed signs are resistant to change, but persistent and perfectionists at heart. Earth signs are practical, wise, and stable. Together, these three things indicate a person who might be highly resistant to change, yet quiet, patient, and slow to anger. Though probably not one to initiate tasks, Taurus will struggle to complete that which has long been abandoned by others.

Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus, an ancient goddess of beauty, emotions, and the arts. Venus rules over love and pleasure and can foster a love of luxury. Those born under a sign ruled by Venus might be prone to indulgence, possibly at inappropriate moments.

The primary symbol of Taurus is the bull. The ball is strong, stubborn, and plodding, and can be both fierce and gentle. The glyph (written symbol) of Taurus represents the horns and head of the bull. Those ruled by the bull may have the force of will to attain material power and wealth. However, they may attempt to seize power or wealth at the expense of others, causing rifts with family and friends.

The Correspondences of Taurus

Each sign has certain classic correspondences. These correspondences are primarily based upon observation and historical connections, and have remained mostly unchanged during the last century.

Each sign rules a particular part of the body. Taurus rules the neck and throat. Many people born under this sign have pleasant speaking and singing voices. However, they may be vulnerable to colds, laryngitis, thyroid problems, and sore throats.

Friday is considered to be a lucky day for Taurus, as are the numbers four and six. Emeralds are also associated with Taurus and are said to protect against deceit and infidelity, insure loyalty, and improve memory.

Some other correspondences for the sign of Taurus include:

• Mauve and pale blue, the colors of refinement and gentleness;
• Cities such as Lucerne, St. Louis, Dublin, and Leipzig;
• Countries such as Cyprus, Greece, Ireland, and Switzerland;
• Cypress and apple trees;
• Flowers such as violet and poppy;
• Copper; and
• Cattle.

Many of the details associated with the personality of Taurus are connected to money and possessiveness. Those born under the influence of Taurus may have a tendency to get involved in violent situations involving love or money. They sometimes antagonize others and may incite anger in their lovers because of their stubbornness and possessiveness.

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.
