Born between April 20th - May 20th

The earth sign Taurus is ruled by Venus and has a feminine or more passive or receptive nature. Physically it is related to the throat and is connected with fruitfulness and stability. Any planet placed in this sign will be a stabilizing influence and will manifest in a steadfast and determined manner, although it can also be a little slow to get started as Taurus can be lazy, apathetic and burdened with inertia.

Maintenance and care of existing conditions over long periods of time is more Taurus' speed, and a reluctance to initiate change or confront their own bullheaded stubbornness can be a setback. However, once started, their determination is undeterred and they will work extremely hard for the well appreciated fruits of their labor. Their excellent business instincts often bring monetary success, which they are quick to share with others. Taurus loves beauty and Nature, and the sign is associated with values and worth, finance, worldly goods and security. Square set, full and earthy with a good head of hair, Taurus is both sensual and a powerful force to be reckoned with. While Taurus can be hedonistic and materialistic, if they will periodically cut their strong attachments they can gain greater perspective and get a fresh start on things. They may be asked to give up something or get out of their apathetic rut every now and then in order to develop greater flexibility and to come to understand the nature of attachment itself. In relationship, Taurus must stay open to the needs of others for change and growth, and self worth must be tied to inner values, rather than material objects. There is a talent for relaxationand enjoyment of sensory pleasures and Taurus must learn balance with their love of food and drink or they will have trouble maintaining their weight.

Moon in Taurus is the practical, linear thinking, fixed nature which is often successful at financial interests. Talent in art and music are also common, and these people are normally surrounded by beauty and self indulgence, with they will generously share with others. They are positive in nature, and quick with affection, although this cuddle bunny can also be slothful, obstinate, and possibly possessive. Their routines are carved in stone and essential to their peace of mind. Their sensual nature makes balance with food and drink a challenge.

Mercury in Taurus is not a fast thinker and needs time to mull things over as commitment is taken quite seriously. Cheerful and refined, these people appreciate the nice things in life and work hard in order to acquire them. Practical and steady mental abilities can make communication plodding and argument practically useless as this placement brings stubborn and fixed tendencies and difficulties in understanding the opinions of others.

Venus in Taurus is sensuality at her most delightful! Weight promises to be a challenge as food is a magnet, as are all things lovely, soft and cozy. This Venus can be possessive and smothering and jealousy comes from an attitude of ownership, but nobody can offer such sweet affection! Here is financial talent and determined hard work, but the spending will need to be balanced as the attraction to personal pleasure is quite strong. This placement of Venus knows that tea should always be served in bone china and determinedly keeps these traditions alive in our societies.

Mars in Taurus is a bull in the china shop. Blindly going from point A to point B they can mow down anybody in between as this placement lacks the subtlety that many other Mars positions enjoy. They can be both brash and crude and so devoted to pleasures of the body that excess weight seems to gain momentum over the years. Determined or stubborn, depending on who is telling the story, they can be obstinate and hold a grudge and, finally pushed over the edge, can exhibit quite a temper. Sometimes domineering and possessive, they are always caring and affectionate. Here is a hard talented worker, but someone who loves to spend equally well.
