Taurus Personality
Taurus is an Earth sign with a fixed modality: the one that sustains and consolidates. It's ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty, pleasure and bonds, which is why it's associated with a taste for good food, music, nature and comfort.
Tradition credits Taurus with loyalty, perseverance and a very practical sense. Taurus prefers the tried and true to the uncertain, keeps its promises and is often the one who brings calm when the group gets rattled.
Its big challenge is stubbornness. Once it makes a decision, changing its mind is hard, and it can cling to a routine even after it stops serving it. Trying small, voluntary changes is, according to this reading, its best training.

Taurus in Love
In love, Taurus is faithful, sensual and attentive to detail. Taurus shows affection through actions: cooking a meal, giving a thoughtful gift, being there. It needs security and time to open up, but when it does, it's for the long haul.
To give the relationship room to breathe, it helps Taurus to talk about what it feels instead of expecting the other person to guess, and to leave space for a partner's freedom without treating it as a threat.
Taurus at Work and with Money
At work, Taurus stands out for reliability and the ability to carry long projects through to the end. Taurus is comfortable in finance, food, design, crafts, construction and any line of work that values quality.
With money, Taurus is usually cautious and a good saver, though it likes to treat itself. Its career challenge is adapting to sudden changes in team or method; moving ahead in small steps helps.
