♉ Essential fact: ♉

Taurus is the Latin word for Bull and its constellation traverses the zodiac from 30° to 60°. Their stable and studious characters mean this is a fixed sign. There are only 4 fixed signs in astrology, and each of them belongs to a different element. The signs associated with this modality are; Leo (Fire), Scorpio (Water) and Aquarius (Air).

What are Taurus folks like?

Taurus likes to take their time and savor life's moments, much to the annoyance of their family and friends. They are unable to make a decision quickly, because they need to analyze everything. This sign needs a certain financial comfort because money reassures them. 

Don't talk to this sign about unforeseen events, as these natives hates the thought of change! They like routine and stability, if not, they soon get anxious. This sign is also well known for their  stubbornness... When they have an idea in mind, they doesn't change it and no matter what happens!

Their personalities are deeply caring, smart and wise; especially when it comes to money. The second zodiac sign has a clear plan for earning, saving, and investing. These people would do anything for their friends and family. This explains why they work so hard for them to be able to lead a good life without financial worries. 

These folks are known for being stubborn and determined; they will never give up. They have huge professional potentials, and they won’t hesitate to work late to finish a job.  

What are their positive traits?

Taurus is a very well-liked sign because of their beautiful qualities. First of all, we like their reliability and loyalty, if these natives make you a promise, they will keep it at all costs. They make for a faithful and trustworthy friend, who you can confide your secrets to without shame or fear. These natives don't judge either; as ideal listeners, they see it as their role to guide you with their wisdom! 

Persevering and hard-working, these folks will not stop until they have reached their goal. Their sincerity means they hate lies, betrayals and always say what they think. Of course, sometimes their words can hurt, but we can only admire their honesty. 

 Taurus is known for their fixed and calm character. Their realistic tendencies include a solid spirit and their material concern is much more present than the imaginary or the unconscious. 

What about the negative ones? 

As nobody is perfect, here are some ways for Taurus to improve... First of all, they ought to work on their 'dogged' character because being determined is good but digging their heels in for no reason is pointless. They should try to listen to what those around them have to say, or at least pretend to. 

Their distrust is also annoying and so is their unwillingness to accept loss. The thought of losing could scare them into becoming sneaky and underhand. Whenever these folks get offended, they slam the door when it comes to communication and can be extremely resentful. If someone close to them has the misfortune of betraying them, it's over because they'll never forgive, as letting go is impossible for them. 

Whether it's with with coworkers or their loved ones, the second sign is also very possessive, what's theirs is theirs! Admittedly, it's adorable, we love their protective side, but it can quickly become stifling. They need to find the right balance in love without locking themselves in and then their relationships will improve.
