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.
