Join renowned psychic Joanna Scott as she unveils the secrets you need to know about each star sign. This week she explores the traits of a Taurus!
Taurus Personality
Taurus are the sign who loves to create the best home. Born between April 20th and May 20th, they are home loving, trustworthy and reliable. They have the best self control of all signs and just get things done without any hesitation in sight. Whenever chaos is around others, the Taurus just gets on with things and calms everyone else down. These are the ones you want when there is a crisis.
They can be very disciplined in any task and determined. If pushed too far, however, they may be very difficult to calm down and will create a very difficult and different atmosphere around you, so you have been warned.
They are been known to be creatures of habit, they like routine, they like things to be just as is and they like to have their opinions and points of view. Their stubbornness can lead them to think very rigid with different views, which can also mean they aren’t as flexible as other signs. Once they are stuck in their way around something, there is no changing them. They are not the most extreme characters, but leave them to have a think about it and they may change their minds.
They are even-tempered and very modest, you don’t hear many Taurus talking religiously about themselves or their accomplishments, they just get on with it and survive. They can also be self-conscious and extremely possessive of their loved ones and family too. They may not have the most spontaneous and exciting personalities but they will always make you feel very much appreciated, loved and understood.
Taurus are known to like the finer things in life, more so around food, great holiday’s and lovely homes in wonderful places. They love routine, order, beauty and luxury. They enjoy the sensual pleasures of life, like eating fine foods, the most expensive wines in beautiful settings, comfortable furniture, the scent of a rose, beautiful music, and on it goes, romantics at heart, very much so. Many a Taurean’s indulge too much, and need to resist the temptation to over do it, be it with food, wine or similar. They may need to resist the temptation to overindulge, especially with food. Because of this temptation, it is important for Taurus not to fixate on luxuries too much. Their health can suffer for it unfortunately. Taurus enjoys owning nice things and being bought nice things too. This is all about their security and love of luxury.
They are also industrious and very talented workers who aren’t afraid to do whatever is necessary to get the job done and done correctly too, they wont do anything by halves. They are reliable, and do best in a job with little need of urgency or risk. They like to have full responsibility for someone, so if anyone asks them to get a job done you know a Taurus will always do it, no matter what.
They are usually very careful with money, have been known to be too frugal at times, however saving for something quite expensive or luxurious too and will gradually bring to them what they need to maintain a good life.
They aren’t known to be the heavy signs who wallow in self pity, they really can bring out the best in people around them, supporting everyone and everything, their great sense of humour can really make others feel very welcome indeed. Their biggest hate is to feel used or manipulated to do anything, they wont, they need to feel appreciated, safe and secure so if anything threatens their safety they will walk away and walk away fast.
If their lives revolve around routine and structure, thats because this makes them feel safe, secure and appreciated. Think of their fellow earth signs Capricorn, the safety and the security of life is what these types relish in for happiness as well. They will indulge very well around hobbies, their interests and will maintain a great balance between the two, but you will always see them coming back to what they appreciate the most, family and the security aspects that surround it.
Taurus and Sex
Sex is something very physical to a Taurus, and uphill too. These people are not into anything that lasts 2 seconds, they are in it for the long haul and want and need someone to appreciate everything sex offers in a relationship for them. They are slow to get turned on but then once they are in a relationship with someone special, thats its, there is no turning back and its all night long for these ones. Sex is a serious matter and you will find most of them don’t want just a one night stand with just anyone if that is on the agenda, they ideally need to feel that trust, bond and security, hence why many of them find they are attracted to partners from work, bulging up a friendship first then developing into something more serious over time. Everything with them is slow and to the point, including sex.
Taurus loves anything around the bedroom, they are known, at times to be quite lazy in that area too, but really they aren’t, they may want you to do all the hard work, or they may request it and demand it at times too, but really all they want is again that need to be loved, secure and for someone to treat them right this time around. So you may hear a Taurus request something in bed and then ask for security around it, for them its taken very seriously and not lightly either. Remember that possessive streak that lies within them. Once you are in bed with them, they want to make sure nobody else gets you or has you either, possessive yes and in the bedroom too.
Sometimes they just want you to do all the hard work and for them to just sit back and enjoy the ride but this wouldn’t make the best relationship for them, in the end they will want a two way road, also they will end up taking care of other things too, practical by name, practical by nature.
Depending on their mood, they can be very demonstrative as well as animalistic too. There has to be some kind of deep affection for them to feel really connected sexually to their partners, otherwise the taurus wont feel it altogether. They are shy souls too, so they may expect you to take the initiative first rather than from them. More so, as they are shy, they need to make sure you truly fancy for them to feel they will take it further too. You wont see Taurus jumping from one partner to the next if anything, you will see that these people like to take their time. They will find out about their partner, be friends first and then take it slowly, just to make sure everything is ok for them. don’t expect sex to be with a high frequency, but one which is prolonged and intense and worth waiting for too.
Taurus and Relationships
Much of everything that you ever wanted to know about your Taurus lover is governed by his/her relationship with the plant of Venus, (love) Taurus’ planetary ruler. Taurus are known to be extremely reliable, stable, solid and perhaps a bit stuffy or even prudish. Taurus can be extremely sensual, especially when you chuck him/her into the emotional blender. Once the more romantic aspects of the bull’s sun sign kicks into high gear you will be surprised by the physical intensity of the relationship, and you may, in fact, be overwhelmed with the tactile way in which your lover shows you affection.
We can see this side of Taurus in other aspects of the bull’s personality. Usually people born under this season of the sun cycle have a great desire for simply physical pleasure, and you may have noticed, comfortable furniture, nice beverages and food filling their fridges and adorning their living rooms. They are connected closely to the ears, neck and larynx, and as a result enjoy beautiful music, good conversation and the touch of loving hands. So for many, they always experience relationships with Taurean’s to be very hands on, literally they are very touchy feely but you wouldn’t always see this as its not always so obvious.
The most important thing to remember if you are dating, making love to, or in a long-term, full-fledged relationship, with a Taurus, is your affection is best expressed through the same mode that your lover enjoys other parts of his/her life, with simply expressions of sensual enjoyment. Touch them, instead of saying something sweet! Instead of a book, get them wine, instead of art, give them a massage. Make love to them when they least expect it, and sit them down for their favourite meal. This will seal the deal, and create a loyal, caring, and delicate lover. They are one of the most sensual and romantic lovers of the zodiac but again not always obvious until you are physically with them, this is hidden very much underneath.
There are a few drawbacks to having a Taurus lover in your life, and they begin with the communication difficulty that the bull can have. Though they like talking about philosophy, politics or their own particular interests, if the conversation turns toward more difficult subjects, such as problems in your relationship, or lack thereof, they may be unlikely to engage your concerns. This needs to be worked out with some very focused discussions of what Taurus’ view as unnecessary exchanges. If it is not practical then it is not something that they are interested in. A way to promote more dialogue is to sandwich the difficult stuff with a nice bottle of wine, or a good day on the beach, or any other hedonistic activities. No heavy emotional overload, this will, infact, kill the relationship straight away. When looking at relationships with Taurus, its best to find another earth or air sign for this reason, keeping it light and straight to the point too.
You may also have noted that bulls in your life can be moody and a bit withdrawn sometimes. This is closely linked to the their stubborn inability to ‘role with the punches.’ This is a very real part of a Taurus’ life. Make sure to encourage a more open-minded way of viewing the world, and you will help your boy/girl get out of the doldrums and into the bright sun of the world.
A word directly to those born under the Taurus sign: be careful not to see the special people in your life as part of your collection of ‘fun’ activities. A problem that can face you is seeing people in an instrumental way that can devalue the unique worth of each person in your life. This can be a more serious problem when it comes to people who you deal with romantically. Most people get tired of being treated like a pretty bubble that must be dusted occasionally, and even though you think you are showing the right amount of interest, you may find yourself alone wondering how it all went wrong. Remember, if you care for someone, their needs must be met even more aggressively than your own, and maybe they will reciprocate, and then everyone wines. This is a must to form strong bonds in all relationships with people, not just partnerships too.
The best relationship matches are with Scorpio, the opposite sign, intense and brings great satisfaction on all levels. Virgo/Capricorn stable and harmonious. The best ones yet to ever be mentioned anywhere but the highest marriage rates are Taurus and Libran together, harmony, home loving, sensual and relaxed. They just get one another and give each other space as well as loving each part of their personalities to mould into one.
Worst Relationship Matches have been known with the more dynamic signs for example Aries, they will be too strong and can create the stress the Taurus really does not need or want, just depends on how passive the Taurus really is. Sagittarius will be too much of a free spirit for Taurus leaving them feeling unsafe. Gemini, not sure what will happen next for the Taurus this is very annoying and will only end up in bicker fights.
Taurus and Friendships
You don’t like to get too close to people quickly. You actually pride yourself on the fact that you can count the number of truly close friends on one hand. You are a good friend and enjoy meeting new people but not simply for the sake of it. You shun superficiality and egotism of any sort. Perhaps for this reason you do attract only genuine people who will return your trust and loyalty.
Once you make a friend, you like to hang onto that person, and to develop trust and a depth of connection with them over a period of time. You’re certainly not a type of person who will spill the beans on the first date or the first meeting, but prefer to savour tit bits of information, putting the jigsaw of who that person is over time. In this manner, you can slowly digest the many different facets of a friend’s personality, history and connections with you.
You love to entertain, wine and dine, and therefore friendship for you is a social occasion which usually has as much to do with the lunch or dinner and good wine as it does about the person themselves. You find this to be a bridge between your mind and theirs. You love to enjoy different foods from various cultures and places, and discovering new restaurants is also something that brings you closer to a friend if that is also a pastime of theirs.
You probably have a birthday book, Taurus, but you are not the type to forget a special date, a birth date or event and people who consider you a close friend really appreciate this about you and the way you handle all birthdays. Not only that, but when it comes to purchasing a gift for someone you love, you spend a lot of time considering what it is that would make them feel happy in receipt of that gift. You are so sentimental and careful around this area that this is what makes you very special indeed.
You’re extremely dependable and friends look to you for guidance and stability. Even in times of your own trouble you seem to be rather stable and earthy in your approach and don’t seem to be swayed by the passing trends and fads of life. This is what makes you so special to friends and they love you for this too. This makes you an excellent advisor to others in times of need which goes hand in hand with being a good friend. When people need your advice, you are there to give them a practical assessment of the situation without any embellishment or bias on your part.
Having Taurus as a friend is a deep commitment. Don’t expect them to take this friendship lightly, same as relationships. If they are loyal and devoted to you, you’ll have to give as good as you take and expect them to be friends for life!
