Taurus traits revealed

Taurus comes under the classification of Earth signs, signifying practicality and persistence. You are likely to be patient and determined, but can also be stubborn and reluctant to accept change. The trait that most endears you to others could possibly be your dependability. 

Taurus is ruled by Venus, the Roman Goddess of beauty and aesthetics. This imbues you with an inclination towards luxury and the finer things in life. 

The symbol of your star sign is the Bull. The pictograph shown denotes the head and horns of the bull.  The Taurean mantra is “I have”. Taurus rules the throat and neck.  The emerald is the stone that pertains to this star sign.

Persistence is one of your most valuable characteristics. This allows you to be relied up in a crisis and gives you a good chance for success in endeavors where stamina is key. 

You are probably not given to open displays of affection – preferring to be a private person and fairly stoical when in public.  

Taurus personalities prefer not to be rushed into anything. They are known to enjoy home life, and can make caring and affectionate partners. You may be regarded as overly materialistic – which may not be the case, but you are likely to value home and possessions.

You have great stores of energy but may not employ them readily unless self-motivated – Taurus likes to do things on their own terms, in their own time.

Order and control is important to those with Taurus traits: anxiety can creep in where uncertainty or the possibility of loss lurks.  Due to this, you are organized and a good influence on people who lack this inner affinity for order and organization.   

It’s important for those of you with Taurus traits to not be too closed off to new experiences. Taurus cherishes the familiar, but novelties can be valuable too and provide new avenues for thought and experience.

When it comes to suitable careers for those with their Sun in Taurus, several areas suggest themselves:

Real estate and related businesses like construction and agriculture should be considered a good fit for those with Taurus traits.  Alternatively, running and managing the home may allow your resourcefulness and discipline to create a well-organized and prosperous base. 

If you are self-motivated then your Taurus characteristics can enable you to become a valued and skilled team player. Usually though, management positions are not sought as an end to themselves, but only if there is a real prospect of increased financial earnings and security. 

Not everybody is aware that Taurus is actually the sign of musicians. Because of this, you may possess a talent or flair in this area. Remember, your sign is ruled by Venus, which endows you with eye for design and fashion.  Industries centering around fashion and also entertainment can bring out the best in those with an abundance of Taurus energy. 

Famous people with their sun in Taurus include:

Leonardo da Vinci
Al Pacino
Eva Perón
Harry S. Truman
Rudolph Valentino
Orson Welles
Uma Thurman


If you have your Moon in Taurus then this will emphasize artistic tendencies and abilities. The good news is that the Moon is actually exalted in Taurus, as that is its place. From this aspect, you may gain strengthened concentration and a proclivity for introspection.


Furthermore, emotional stability is conferred by this aspect. You like this stability to be reflected in your outside influences.  

Famous individuals with the Moon in Taurus: Bill Clinton, Bjorn Borg, Prince, Greta Garbo, Charles F. Scott Fitzgerald

Let’s briefly look at traits engendered by having a Taurus ascendant. The ascendant concerns the individual’s appearance, and also influences their goals, and how they appear to others.

In this case, Taurus rising imbues you with an attractive manner and easygoing outlook. You have charm and wit and are a social success. This positioning also gives you a love of routine and predictability. However, you may be prone to overindulgence so should take care with your weight and related matters.

Aries Traits Revealed 

Aries is a fire sign and the first sign of the zodiac.  New beginnings are symbolized by this position, and indeed the Aries personality is usually regarded as an adventurer at heart.   

The affirmation that most applies to you is “I AM”.  Despite the egotism implied by this, Aries traits produce loyal, respected friends.  

The Aries glyph represents the horns and the long nose of the Ram.  Your ruling planet is Mars who is the god of warfare. The part of the body that Aries rules is the head, and traditionally Aries are prone to headaches – although this may be counteracted by other influences in your chart. 

You may well be known as reckless because you enjoy risk taking and are unlikely to be known for your patience. There is usually something of the gambler in Aries personalities. 

Due to your worthy ambitions, you retain high standards both for yourself and for others.  This can be both a positive and a negative trait, but your dominant trait of courage is always appreciated and respected. 

You are likely to enjoy an unyielding optimism which can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.  However, the Aries individual is often easily bored and takes offence quickly. These moods and grudges rarely last long though, as Aries is more about moving forward and less sulky than his watery counterparts within the zodiac. 

You probably don’t take well to periods of inactivity, and grow restless relatively quickly. Aries tends to dissipate energy in too many directions at once, and risks being seen as a dilettante who never completes what they start. 

In financial matters you are generally perceived as lucky, but may find it difficult to retain gains, and even end up spending much more than you had in the first place.

Independence is a watchword for you, and you would prefer to lead a small team than be a small cog in bigger machinery. 

Your self-assurance attracts others who are comforted that you can handle problems and situations with relative ease.  However, what may repel those around you is your tendency to become self-involved and take an imperious stance against them.

Let’s look at Aries within the career sphere… your features are well suited to leading and managing projects. As stated though, you may also be prone to overworking yourself instead of delegating to other team members.

You can utilize your intrepid Aries traits in areas like medicine and research, business, athletics, and even the military (of course you may make a poor subordinate).

A good number of Aries personalities find themselves starting up their own business at some point — you are prone to making new starts, and comfortable with this kind of controlled risk. However, Aries characteristics need to be moderated, as you may pay scant attention to the details and routines required for success in business. Traditionally, the Aries personality blossoms when overseeing the workings of big enterprises.

If you have your moon in Aries then you will have a quick and emphatic sense of judgment.  Your decisions will be based on this, and you are unlikely to take challenges to your views lightly. 

Such natives will be freedom loving and outspoken.  But you should guard against becoming overly possessive or controlling in relationships.

An Aries ascendant will emphasize your pioneering ways and flair for adventure.  It will also imbue you with domineering traits which could be used for good or ill.  These natives possess a youthful and magnetic enthusiasm that energizes others.  

Your strength will be in overcoming inertia to kick start projects with energy and verve.
