Taurus, The Bull, is either sensually elegant or very earthy. This sign is about having, responding, and valuing. Taurus is the steady, deliberate, determined response to new ideas and impulses, possessing them, embodying them, giving them form and value. It is solid, practical, aesthetic, resourceful, methodical, sensual, dependable, retentive and private. Taureans are motivated by the need for physical comfort, pleasure and security.

Taurus is a builder, with a great desire to create and appreciate physical forms of beauty. This is a nurturing and fertile sign in which any seed or impulse is cradled, bringing forth growth and development. This energy is how we possess and acquire things. There is a gentle, loyal, steadfast, and determined quality about Taurus. Always accepting and providing a base where growth takes place.

Their strength is that they can survive the most difficult of challenges. However, they often need to learn to let go rather than hanging on to a losing situation. They are often challenged by change and financial difficulties. Although Taurus people like beautiful and luxurious items, their possessions must have long-term value and durability. You want to avoid approaching a Taurus with a philosophy that says “my way or the highway,” unless of course you want to hit the road. Taurus brings beauty and earthly healing to the world. Where Taurus is in your chart is where you are called to manifest loyalty and possession.
