Sign of the Month: Taurus (April 20th – May 20th)

You’d think that, being the Bull that you are, you’re more of a fighter than a lover, but it’s actually the opposite. Gentle and peaceful, it’s the stubborn Taurean nature that makes you so bull-headed, and it’s only when your stubbornness reaches a boiling point that you take charge.

The sign of Taurus upholds determination like no other. You crave stability, simplicity and functionality in life, and while you won’t be distracted in your mission to obtain these things, you’re also careful and precautious as to not take too big of a risk that could lead to problems down the road.

Your motto might be “Take care of the senses and everything else will take care of itself.” As a Taurus, you seek material things — not because of their monetary value, but because of how they make you feel. Comfort and pleasure go hand-in-hand, which means the finer things in life, from quality fabrics to fine foods. Sometimes, however, you stray towards the extreme side of practicality, so it’s important to look beyond material possessions and see the splendor that lies elsewhere.

Taurus has a luxurious beauty, inner serenity and powerful sense of stability.
The Bull understands the physicality of life, and they need to experience the world through the sense of touch, sound and colour, while possessing an intuitive understanding of nature.

According to Judy Hall the karmic lesson for Taurus is about learning how to live in a physical body and yet recognize there is more to life than the body and the five senses. Since security is usually a massive issue in the life of Taureans, rather than relying on money, job or status symbols in order to feel safe, there is a need to connect to a stable and secure centre within the soul of the personality.

In life, Taurus does not rush into anything and has a solid, practical and steady temperament. They have a reputation for stubbornness, but it often signifies a persistent and determined personality. The possessiveness associated with the individual, usually reveals itself in the way they like to surround themselves with beautiful objects and then sit back and enjoy the beauty of it all.

Taurus is also a collector. Of objects, money, and people. What he collects must have value to him. He will treasure it, take care of it, shower attention on it, and hang on with both tough fists tightly encircling it. This is why Taurus is often the partner people seek when they seek the real security of a stable, unchanging relationship. No matter what happens or what you do, Taurus will stand by you. He may not always understand your motives, but he’ll remain loyal regardless.Astrology for Lovers

Astrologers associate Taurus with the material side of life and with lust and uncontrollable desires. Financial security and stability are important, but they have an aptitude for bringing about sustained results, accruing practical experience, and building something permanent in the world. There is an innate drive in Taurus to live the good life, and these types are adept at making money and holding onto it too. The sign is grounded, and only speaks with common sense, possessing a love of simplicity.

The Taurus element is Earth

It makes sense that practical Taurus is an equally-practical Earth sign, authentic, real and inescapable. Earth signs are more about the basics and less about imagination, more about what is physically felt than what is sensed — and if something isn’t tangible, then it’s not really there.

Horoscope house: 2nd

Personal possessions and the things we value most are represented in the 2nd house, which goes hand-in-hand with the Taurean’s quest for material things. These possessions can mean money, or simply your personal values and morals.

Taurus’s key planet: Venus

Love, both physical and ideal — such is the planet Venus. For a Taurus, Venus is sensual and simple, fulfilling your outlook on beauty and passion by satisfying the senses.

Your greatest strength

You have a sensible outlook on life

Your possible weakness

You settle and accept less than you can truly achieve

Taurus in Love

Stubborn … like Bull! The Taurus mentality is strong, confident and, yes, extremely stubborn. But just as they are willful to no end, they can provide a very calming presence for a significant other, in that Taureans are faithful and powerful rocks to depend on. However, nagging or being over-demanding won’t do; Bulls may run away or become hot headed if they feel backed into a corner. Their partner must not push or prod; the best way to win with a Taurus is to trust he or she will know what’s right, and let the Bull prove it.

On the flip side, Taureans love to cuddle and be cuddled, relax with their partner and devote themselves entirely. And if they can be provided with good food and a comfy place to call home, even better — that’s because indulging in what makes them feel good is just the thing to put them in the mood for love and romance.

The Taurus mentality can also be quite materialistic, which can often be a turn-off. Their romantic counterpart should be willing to show their Bull that money and material things aren’t everything; love is what makes the world go ’round, and once this stubborn Bull has true love in its eyes, nothing else will matter more than that feeling.
