Taurus

Easily frustrated, Aries can be argumentative and confrontational. But, being the sign of springtime, they are like the sunshine and showers of their season, and very soon they are smiling again, all anger forgotten. Aries don’t bear grudges and always forgive and forget. Life will knock them down time and again, but up they will rise, just as cheerful, optimistic, and busy as always. It is hard not to like their innocent, warmhearted enthusiasm for every new day.

To recall how Aries work, remember they are cardinal fire and their symbol is the ram and you will be able to figure out how they will act in every circumstance.

Taurus takes its time. Not surprising with a fixed earth sign. Earth is steady and reliable and doesn’t like change, and being fixed means the same, so Taurus has a double dose of this unmovable quality. They take their time with everything: jobs, relationships, life itself. Their symbol is the bull for a reason. How does Taurus think and act? Like that. Slowly and cautiously, yet when roused, they are capable of immense strength.

The reason Taureans spend so long deciding something is because they don’t like to make mistakes. Mistakes waste time and energy and maybe money as well, all of which are precious commodities to them. Therefore, a great deal of forethought and planning goes into everything they do. Their dreams will all one day come true because Taureans set realistic goals and are prepared to put in sheer hard work over a long period of time to fulfil them. They derive great satisfaction from long-term planning; they don’t mind how many years something may take.

Taureans are sensuous. They like the finer things in life. They like food and drink, nice-smelling sheets, and soft carpets under their feet. Comfort is important to them. Knowing this, they typically hold a secure job that will provide them with more than just the essentials. Secure jobs are a rarity these days, but if there is one, they will find it, and they won’t sell themselves short. Other people instinctively know a Taurus is someone who can be relied upon and trusted to take on responsibility.

So, once Taurus lands the job, they will look around for a home. That is essential. They need stability and security and their own four walls. Perhaps the house they’d really like hasn’t yet been built. That’s okay! They will roll up their sleeves and build their own, given the chance; in fact, there is nothing they’d like more.

The next step? Someone to share it all with. A sign ruled by Venus must have a partner. But what sort of partner? Well, that can depend on many factors, but mainly it must be one who will build along with them and not run through all they have worked so hard to achieve. It might be that they saw their ideal partner years before and decided he/she was the one for them. Taureans don’t make a move until they have found some security for themselves and have something tangible to offer. Amazingly, their chosen one is often still there, so Taurus goes courting.

That’s a very old-fashioned word, but that’s Taurus. They are not swayed by the whims of fashion. They go after the partner they want as they do with everything else in life: slowly, systematically, and absolutely determined to succeed. Taurus women lure the partner of their dreams with their earthy charm, their deep and abiding love, and their excellent cooking and caring skills. Taurus men show their loved one how well they can protect and care for them and how financially secure they are.

Ninety-nine percent of the time, Taureans will be successful in love. Occasionally, they aren’t. If that happens, Taurus will hold a torch for the rest of their lives. Once their love is given it is almost impossible for them to change tack. Somehow, they get on with their lives. They just take it day by day, putting one foot in front of the other. No drama, no tears, just a sad acceptance and a love that never dies. It is possible that years later they will go in search of their first love and, if the timing is right, finally marry them.
