Dates and signs on this page follow the tropical zodiac used by sun-sign horoscopes. The Sanskrit name is the Vedic sign of the same name, which is calculated against the stars instead and can differ for any given birthday.
Character
Taurus is the first of the earth signs, fixed in quality and ruled by Venus. It is steady, practical and deeply attached to comfort, good food, beautiful objects and anything that feels dependable. Taureans take time to make up their minds, but once they have, they are hard to move; that persistence is their greatest asset and, occasionally, their stubbornness. They notice quality through the senses and often have a feel for music, cooking, gardens and craftsmanship.
Love and relationships
In love, Taurus is patient, affectionate and loyal. The sign builds a relationship slowly, through shared routines and small acts of care, and values security more than drama. Jealousy can appear when trust is shaken, and change is the sign's hardest test. A partner who respects its need for stability, and who is gently honest when something has to change, will find a faithful companion.
Work and money
Taurus thrives where patient effort pays off: finance, property, agriculture, food, design, the arts and any craft where quality matters more than speed. It is a reliable colleague who finishes what it starts. Money matters to Taurus and the sign usually saves well, but the same love of comfort can make it slow to take a reasonable risk or to leave a career that no longer fits.
Strengths
- Reliability
- Patience
- A good eye for value
- Loyalty
Watch-points
- Stubbornness
- Resistance to change
- Overindulgence
Compatible signs
Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer and Pisces are the traditional matches for Taurus: the other earth signs, and the two signs of the complementary element that sit 60 degrees away. Other earth signs share Taurus' practicality, and water signs bring the emotional warmth that helps it feel at home. Fellow fixed signs can lock horns when neither will give way.
