Taurus Traits & Personality

Represented by the bull, Taurus has a stable, patient, strong, and earthy personality. They have a great sense of loyalty and don’t enjoy being pushed or forced to speed up or do something quickly for someone else. They prefer to go at their own pace, consistently.

They’re not prone to starting new projects or breaking out on a spur-of-the-moment business venture — too risky. This earth sign prefers to stay with the familiar. It’s about comfort, security, and stability. But therein lies the trap: comfort.

They can get caught up in doing the same thing over and over again, ordering the same food, seeing the same friends since elementary school, visiting the same hangout spots — you get the point. They’re working on becoming more flexible and open to new experiences.

For example… Taurus men will probably never entertain anything about astrology, spirituality, or metaphysics. It’s all nonsense to the materialistic energy of Taurus. This is because Taurus is trapped in the realm of materialism, the physical, the earthly.

When there is too much identification/attachment with the physical, be it one’s body, vocation, size of bank account, or what have you, a lot of suffering can occur. Taurus is here to be financially successful.

Taurus Destiny & Soul Purpose

Taurus is here to delve into the physical, the sensual, and the material side of life. The stable, Venusian energies that emanate from this sign make it capable of bringing immense beauty into the world and establishing a solid, grounded support. As a Taurus, you’ll easily manifest material wealth, providing security for yourself and for others.

What is Taurus Like in Love & Relationships? 

Dating a Taurus can take a long, long time – to date, to say “I love you,” or to get into a relationship. But once they’re in, they’re all in. Taurus is intensely loyal, devoted, supportive, sensual, and affectionate. They are focused on building a foundation with someone, taking into account the house, the car, the savings account, vacations, and all the rest. 

On the other hand, they can be jealous or possessive. And once they’ve decided on something, it’s hard to get them to change their mind.

Taurus’ Soulmate 

Taurus does best with someone who shares the same element (Earth) is operating on the same wavelength. The signs of Capricorn and Virgo offer the best compatibility for a Taurus. The second best option is a complementary sign in a similar element (Water). Pisces, Cancer, and Taurus’s polar opposite, Scorpio, offer the best chance at romantic compatibility.

The very nature of water signs are what help to nourish and soften the hard, dry earth. These people help Taurus become more spiritual, creative, flexible, and emotionally expressive. As an earth sign, Taurus helps their water sign counterpart by bringing a little more stability and security.

Remember this: Compatibility is never solely determined by signs, let alone sun signs. There are plenty of amazing relationships that have discordant signs, and terrible relationships that have harmonious signs.
