Taurus is known for their endurance, reliability, and determination. Even though Taureans like to go with the flow, they have more stamina than most people give them credit for.

They are also very practical and matter of fact. Taurus is one of the most steady and grounded signs; once a decision is made they generally stick with it. They are also very reliable people overall.

Taurus Qualities

Taurus are the most tolerant of all the Zodiac signs. They take things in stride and don’t let things rattle them. They are reluctant to openly express their emotions or reactions, and very private individuals.

Often a Taurus will spend hours in seclusion just thinking through issues that trouble them. Then, a calm decision is made that works to everyone’s satisfaction without any hurt feelings or emotional scenes.

Taurus is pragmatic, dependable, and easygoing. They are intelligent, trustworthy, and place a high priority on working hard.

Don’t let the bull from Spanish lore deter you; they are a peaceful zodiac sign.

Taurus Woman Traits

The Taurus woman is deep and serious, practical and reliable, loyal and fair. She is strong willed and stubborn at times, but there’s nothing cookie-cutter about her, whether she’s running a Fortune 500 company or taking care of her young child.

Taurus women possess an unshakable will to help others, which makes them attractive to others seeking assistance. This sign can be very direct and headstrong – and isn’t afraid to speak her mind.

The Taurus woman is a solid rock of stability and strength. She is her own person and she will not be knocked around by anything or anyone.

In fact, you may actually have to knock on her door. She doesn’t like to come out to play or discuss feelings very often, so you may need to take the initiative once in a while.

At the center of every Taurus woman is a romantic, with an active imagination and an affinity for beauty.

She has a vivid imagination and dreams of impossible stories. The desire to dream is her only curiosity. When she loves, she loves hard.

Taurus Man Traits

The Taurus man is all about the earth: nature, hard work, security, and family. A Sunday afternoon of barbecuing on the back porch with family and friends is pure Taurus territory, as is a job they’ve held for years.

Never moody or shy, those born under this zodiac sign are dependable and loyal.

The Taurus man is steady and persistent, yet flexible and versatile in his approach to life. He has an excellent memory and the ability to concentrate with ease.

His persistence and endurance ensure that he will always reach his goals. He can be patient, but he feels most comfortable in situations that allow him to utilize his quiet, restrained energy.

Taurus Zodiac Signs in Love

The Taurus man knows how to treat a woman – he’s the perfect date. He’s faithful and responsible, and loves home comforts.

The Taurus woman is a loyal lover, dependable friend and the rock in your relationship. She’s not the type to call you constantly or overreact when something in her life goes wrong. Instead, she takes the time to enjoy life and all of its blessings with grace and style.

Because she’s secure in who she is, the Taurus woman loves being in love. She likes to show her feelings through words and actions but she’s also very comfortable relaxing by herself or with close friends.

In fact, her capacity to listen without judgement is what allows a friendship with a Taurus woman to last a lifetime.

What is a Taurus?

The Taurus Zodiac sign is represented by the Bull. Bulls are patient, reliable, determined, and like to lead.

They are steady workers who expect others to follow through with their plans. They also tend to be workaholics.

Bulls are known for their ability to predict the future. A bull’s mind is quite complicated but they manage to make a decision during troubling times. People born under the Taurus astrology sign are not very shy people; they speak and express themselves in an honest manner.

The bull is a symbol of strength, fertility, and virility. A bull’s horns are often seen as a sign of good luck and protection. Taurus natives are said to be dependable, patient, sensual, and possessive.

Although Taurus is symbolized by the bull (the Bull of Mithras), some astrologers believe that Taurus’ true symbol is the cow.

The bull has come to represent male fertility, wealth, success, ambition and determination. A bull’s head is part of an ornate crown for winning a victory called a “corona civica” or “civic crown”.

In history, bulls were often symbols of leadership and authority. Taurus natives are said to be stubborn but patient; they can be authoritative at times but are usually quite kind and generous to others.

They have a great sense of humor with a stable outlook on life. They are slow to anger but also slow to forgive an enemy or hurtful friend. They can be quite temperamental at times but are also very loyal friends who will stand up for you when it counts most.

A lover of luxury and creature comforts, Taurus will be ready to celebrate the first day of spring with a trip to one of their favorite restaurants with a loved one.

They’ll also enjoy romantic weekends away from home with friends - and if there’s room left over in the budget, perhaps some shopping!

It’s important to keep in mind that Taurus probably won’t spend all of their money on luxuries: They’ve got big plans for saving as well as spending this month, because they always like to take advantage of opportunities to pay down their debt.
