Taurus

Taurus has a deep rooted need for material and emotional stability. Both of these things are fundamental to their sense of well being, and they instinctively withhold and conserve whatever belongs to them. Taureans’ have a need to possess, whether objects, money, or people. Security has to manifest itself in a tangible, unchanging form, so that it can be relied upon. These types of people are security building and make good investors, bankers, and accountants. This is the first of the Earth signs on the zodiac wheel and as a result they are deeply practical and realistic. Taurus is learning to relate to the earthy world, and build a sense of permanent worth into it. The essential purpose of this zodiac sign is to maintain the stability of earthly things. Naturally, they have a highly developed sense of harmony and wholesomeness. The sign represents the need to put down roots and establish a home base because they are a practical no nonsense sign,  patient, docile and accepting. The Taurean respects the value of money, and they work long and hard to achieve their goals.

Taureans don’t like anything which demands immediate action thrust into their face, they need a slow and relaxed pace with plenty of time to consider things carefully. Because of their need for fixed security, these types are often stubborn and refuse to budge, they can be so entrenched in a familiar world of habit and routine to the point of being stuck in a rut. The Bulls inner stillness then turns to stagnation. Taurus is in touch with their sensual side, and as a physical sign they have strong instinctive driven desires that seek satisfaction in very personal ways. The sign has a deep affinity for music, design, good food, and all the good things in life. Sometimes their appetite and appreciation for food can lead to weight problems. It is the ’sensual’ and not the ’sexual’ manner that pleases his senses.

Taurus has the ability to create an atmosphere of peace and tranquility, and this is highly conductive for the formation of a stable and loving relationship. Taurus also has a flair for design and colour and enjoys deep affinity with music, and they will often possess a beautiful singing or speaking voice. While this is a dependable sign on the physical plane, the first fixed sign of the zodiac wheel is the most inflexible of all the fixed signs. Taurus is not an idealistic sign by nature they just know how to sustain and preserve what they value in life. The main objective is to stabilize conditions by carefully building frameworks of security that will prove everlasting.
