taurus womanOur Taurus Girl, April 21 to May 21, is a Fixed, Earth, Yin sign and represents loyalty. Her colors are pink or green, birthstone Emerald and she shares traits with the Chinese Zodiac’s Snake.

Although not the most passionate sign, the bull is the most sensual, and a hopeless romantic with a strong and deep sexuality. And, thanks to its ruling planet Venus the goddess of beauty and desire, it has a marked fondness for all pleasures of the senses.

Eating, making love and sleeping are all favourite Taurean pastimes, and not necessarily in that order. Breakfast in bed and sex in the kitchen are as natural to this beauty as, “Who’s for lunch”.

Our Taurus woman is sensual and seductive. Under a cool, calm, and intellectually aloof exterior, the Taurus woman possesses a whole arsenal of tools designed to attract her man and keep him. From the bedroom to the kitchen, she seems to hold in her genetic code total memory of things eternally female. Little wonder she is often called an Earth Goddess.

When she enters a room, everyone is aware that she is there. She is beautiful, radiant, and magnetic. Often she wears the finest clothes, jewelry, and perfume; always she displays herself with considerable aplomb.

In addition to her bodily attraction, she seduces with her rich, resonant voice; like the Lorelei, she captures and holds with her musical sound. Lady Taurus sends messages with her eyes that mesmerize and hold a man with promise of earthly delights beyond measure.

She moves with the grace of a dancer, for she loves her own body and cares for it well. Having control of herself, she is a master illusionist and will often create just the environment necessary to complete the fantasies of her loved ones.

Physical contact is important to Taurus. He/she needs to be needed, touched, and fondled. They express much of their caring through sex, but are never in a hurry. They expect the very best in love and sex and settles for nothing less.

They fancy their own environment and like to entertain at home. Often a gourmet cook, parties usually feature the best food, the finest accessories, and the most exciting people they can find, all coddled in a relaxed and luxurious atmosphere.

Taurus is the second sign of the Zodiac, Fixed Earth. The fixed part gives them obstinacy, persistence, tenacity, dependability, and sometimes a rather pompous, self-righteous air; while the earth imparts a solid, conservative, materialistic quality that produces a salt-of-the-earth woman, sensual and slightly bawdy.

Each sign of the Zodiac is said to be “ruled” by a planet and its vibrations. Taurus is ruled by Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. Venus and all the qualities associated with her affect the life of the Taurus Woman. Luxury without guilt delights the Venusian nature.

Taurus is one who has the sun or other important planets in Taurus, planets in the second house (the natural house of Taurus), a Taurus ascendant, or a powerfully aspected Venus. Taurus types are also those who are temporarily going through a Taurus phase. In this case, the person need have no planets located in the sign of Taurus.

The Taurus phase is also characterized by its duality. A pursuit of material gain and the ideals of spiritual beauty often causes inner turmoil. Compulsive spending needs to be curbed lest the deeper spiritual values be sacrificed. A constant war between body and soul also exists, since the pleasures of sex and the good life often receive a disproportionate amount of energy. Balance and harmony between these two forces must exist for the Taurus Woman to be happy.

The Taurus Woman lives a simple yet complex life. However, unlike her Scorpio sister, who lives on many secret levels, the Taums Woman is very up-front about her life and about who and what she enjoys. Simple pleasures appeal to her-—good sex, good food, and good company, usually in that precise order.

Taurus is the constellation that governs money, Venus is the planet that rules love, and these two qualities may not be as unrelated as they first seem to be. Love is what we feel for the people and things we desire to have closest to us. Money enables the Taurus Woman to possess many things and travel to many of the places she holds dear. Love, however, can only be fresh given, and this is sometimes a hard lesson for the Taurus Woman to learn.

Her concern for ownership colors the fabric of her life. Even the smallest item is catalogued and remembered. Woe to the person who discards one precious scrap of paper, an old letter, or an out-of·date magazine without first asking; the wrath of the bull will descend even when small possessions are threatened. One can imagine, then, the red fury when someone tries to take her man–her most precious possession.

She has a knack for manipulating the world’s resources for her own personal use. Her looks, her talents, and the things she owns are all resources that can assist her in achieving what she desires. The greatest challenge for the Taurus Woman is to get outside herself and beyond her possessions. The love of luxury and comfort begets selfish tendencies in her, and she then cannot understand the needs of others.

Taureans are strikingly attractive, in a statuesque way; and are a catch for anyone seeking a solid, secure and long-lasting relationship.

There is a deep mystery at the heart of Taurus; your sign is a feminine sign, ruled by the beautiful love goddess Venus, but your motif is that of the bull, also a symbol of fertility, but arguably the most masculine symbol in the entire zodiac. Your sign has two distinct faces, a combination of masculine strength and feminine beauty.

While every person and every zodiac sign is a mix of good and bad, somehow positive and negative seem to be more polarised in Taurus than in any other sign. This probably has something to do with the strongly fixed nature of your sign, which makes you prone to stick with the devil you know.

As your Libran friends will tell you, there are two sides to everything, but you don’t see it that way. As far as you’re concerned, you have already made up your mind, and once you do, you stick to your guns, no matter what.

This gives your sign the reputation for being rather pig-headed, but it also means you have the necessary endurance, persistence and stamina to reach success in any field. You never give up.

Your tremendous determination and resilience makes you the most persistent sign of the zodiac. You’re patient, practical and resourceful, and you can make a little go a very long way.

Though you are conservative and usually agree with the majority view, even when you are in the minority you have no hesitation in standing up for yourself and your opinions, or your loved ones, never flinching for a second in your convictions.

Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein were all Taureans, which goes to show what can happen when the dark side of Taurus takes hold. On the other side of the Taurus fence are the truly beautiful people of the world; people like the graceful Audrey Hepburn and the charming George Clooney; those who know that beauty is not skin deep and that one’s true worth comes from deep within the soul.

The unconditional love that dogs give to humans is the kind of loyalty you are famous for. No other sign of the zodiac is as loyal or loving.

But loyalty is so important to you that when people disagree with you, you can take it as a personal affront. When loved ones don’t go along with you, you can feel betrayed and act as if they’re disloyal, when in reality they’re only being true to their own values, just as you are.

The bull is a financial wizard, firmly anchored in the material world, with a fine grasp of what is needed in order to lead the good life. However, this sign is not big on taking risks, but will usually play it safe. Those born under this sign love to save money, but they also know how to spend it, especially on the ones they love.

Many famous singers owe their success to a resonant Taurus voice, which is not surprising because the neck and throat are the parts of the body associated with your sign.

Many great chefs are born under your sign too. When preparing a sumptuous banquet for friends or family, you go to great lengths to make sure everything is just right, and even more so when you are planning a romantic dinner for two.

Soft candlelight and beautiful music, the best in food and wine, a long back and neck massage using essential oils to stimulate the senses, followed by passionate love-making is your idea of heaven. It’s a toss-up which room of the house is your favourite, the kitchen or the bedroom.

All Taureans love food and many have a sweet tooth which can make the average Taurean prone to weight gain. Taurus tends to overindulge. Health issues are often problems with the throat and neck, the reproductive organs, and the kidneys.

All earth signs share similar values. You’re reliable, responsible, diligent and practical. Because of these similarities, your relationships with other earth signs are generally stable and long lived.

Earth signs don’t like change that much, though Virgos and Capricorns are probably a tad more open to change than you, but all of you like to have clear parameters in which to operate.

Virgo is a mutable sign and has Mercury as a ruling planet. This makes them skilled communicators who can teach you to be more adaptable, without the conflict that you normally encounter with air signs. Although Virgos can find your stubbornness a little difficult to deal with at times, they will gently encourage you to try new things.

While relationships between earth signs are mutually benefcial, because earth signs like routine, you can end up falling into a rut when you spend a lot of time together. Nevertheless, you always manage to find common ground.

No other sign in the zodiac is closer to the earth. Outdoorsy, with a love of nature, you’ll often find Taurus surrounded with pets.

This sign is the first of the earthy triplicity and the first of the fixed signs, and in this sign is concealed will and desire, both of which express themselves, more or less, in the character of the Taureans. This being the sign of solidity it makes those born in it exceedingly solid, practical, and substantial. They are exactly the reverse of all that has been said in the foregoing sign, Aries being all that is idealistic, while Taurus is all that is practical.

The Taureans are slow, plodding, patient, enduring, persistent, executive, and matter-of-fact persons. They are remarkable for their conservatism, and they never seem to waste their forces like the Aries’ types, who scatter them broad. Persons possessing the strongest wills are born under this sign, but when living for themselves exclusively, they become as obstinate as it is possible for them to be. They can be very determined, persistent and dogmatic. They usually speak with a quiet, firm, inflexible and almost authoritative tone.

Possessing a considerable amount of physical vitality, the Taureans become very furious and violent when severely angered, but as they are usually slow, careful and cautious, it takes a very great deal to excite them, although when very excited they stand beside themselves with rage. They can do a great amount of good by their steady, building capacity, being capable and able to carry out all plans entrusted to them. They have perseverance, are steady, patient and enduring.

They can be secretive and very reserved, but are faithful friends to all whom they give allegiance. They are excellent companions to those possessing ideas, and as co-workers they are reliable, sincere and trustworthy. They always seem to possess a great amount of stored-up energy which makes them very tenacious, holding on till something comes to set them free or liberate their stored-up forces.

As masseurs and healers they are unequalled. They always benefit persons deficient in vitality, having the power to magnetically heal and soothe those who are nervous and irritable. The mental and physical vitality of the Taureans is tremendous, and persons possessing the finest physique are often born under this sign. They are fearless and generous, and when the Venus side of the sign is not over active they set no store on wealth excepting to do good with it.

When they concentrate their thoughts they have immense power, and their will then has ascendancy over desire. But, when the latter is most in evidence they become very worldly and inclined to take pleasure in the good things of this life, being fond of feasting and comfort. The Taureans make the best psychic mediums, and they may be contrasted with the Aries types by the fact that they are more inclined to live in their feelings than in their minds. The true Taurean may be said to be one great, feeling individual, but as the sign belongs to the earthy triplicity, it is more often physical and objective than subjective feeling.

Taurus governs the neck, and as this is so constituted as to serve the head which turns upon it, it maybe said that they make better servants than masters. Being trust-worthy they make excellent public servants and representatives of governing bodies, and they are often chosen by the public as officials, as those who may be considered the peoples servants. Taurus governs the throat, hence this may be said to be the most sensitive part of their organism, but as this sign is the first of the fixed group of signs, the heart is often affected by sympathy. The throat, however, should always have the first attention, and exhaustion through speech or singing should be avoided.

They are more inclined to suffer through too much physical force than too little, and when giving way to what is sometimes their greatest fault, laziness, they nurse many disorders that produce rapid, fatal results. Whent he Venus side of their nature is in excess, they are liable to apoplexy and sudden death. It would seem as though they were benefited best by those things that would assist the Aries types, and it would be better for them to exchange magnetism with others and seek to obtain a more equal distribution of the life forces. They often pass out of their bodies earlier than it would be expected through a kind of magnetic stagnation, and if they were to energize their minds a little more, and live less in the feelings, they would be greatly benefited in health. All tendencies to become morbid should at once be dissipated, as they bring a desponding and melancholic tendency.

These persons have the ability to get money for others. Taurus, being the second sign of the zodiac which governs finance, are best suited for all professions in which the handling of much money is concerned. They would therefore make good bankers, stockbrokers, treasurers, cashiers and speculators. When living more in the personal element, they are best adapted for mechanical and laborious pursuits, or where they are required to work slowly, steadily and patiently. They are good at all executive work, but when living more in the mind than the body they are excellent singers and sometimes capable actors.

They would also succeed well in life as magnetic healers, doctors, and nurses, and in all agricultural pursuits, such as farmers, fruit-growers, gardeners, builders, etc., also financial agents, book-binders, manufacturing, chemists, dressmakers, florists, house painters and decorators, collectors, insurance agents, taxidermists, etc.

It would be well for these persons to marry those born in any of the other earthy or watery signs, that is, so far as mental or physical marriage is concerned. We may say of the Taureans that they possess more vitality than any of the twelve types, and they appear to suffer from an over-abundance of life rather than a depletion of it. The words “to him that hath shall be given” seem to be applicable to these persons, and it is quite natural for them to be reserved, conservative and secretive.

It would be difficult, without a knowledge of planetary configurations at the time of their birth, to say whether they would be dominated by will or desire. Either one or the other would tend to predominate, but in all cases they would lean more to the objective and concrete than the subjective and ideal, and owing to this they often pass through a period of materialistic thought which leaves a strong impression on their future actions. They appear to be born to realise the practical demonstration of the working of the law.

Taureans are compatible with their own sign, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Explore Taurus’ Love Match Astrology.
