All About Taurus

(April 20 - May 20)

You’d think that, being the Bull that you, you’re more a fighter than a lover, but it’s actually the opposite. Gentle and peaceful, it’s the stubborn Taurean nature that makes you so bull-headed, and it’s only when your stubbornness reaches a boiling point that you take charge.

The sign of the Taurus means determination like no other. You crave stability, simplicity and functionality in life, and while you won’t be distracted in your mission to obtain those things, you’re also careful and precautious as to not take too big of a risk that could lead to problems later down the road.

Your motto might be "Take care of the senses and everything else will take care of itself." As a Taurus, you seek material things -- not because of their monetary value, but because of how they make you feel. Comfort and pleasure go hand-in-hand, which means the finer things in life, whether that means quality fabrics or fine food, are most ideal. Sometimes, however, you stray towards the extreme side of practicality, so it’s important to look beyond material possessions and see the splendor that lies elsewhere.

The Taurus Element: Fire

It makes sense that the practical Taurus is an equally-practical Earth sign, authentic, real and inescapable. Earth signs are more about the basics and less about imagination, more about what is actually sensed then what is felt -- and if something isn’t tangible, then it’s not really there.
