Taurus zodiac sign: What does it mean to be a bull?
It is no secret that the Taureans enjoy the finer pleasures of life. Although hard at work, they also like to indulge in exotic vacations, relaxing spa treatments, gourmet cuisines and luxury items.
Most Taureans are elegant and display an understated sense of style, which is classy and exquisite. But their sartorial appeal does not make them look haughty or unapproachable. Being earth signs, they have a warm persona and their high point is their kind eyes and a strong upper body.
They make no bones about the fact that they like a comfortable life. Besides that, they are also known to be smart investors. Though they are practical, they have an empathetic side to them.
A deep dive into the Taurus personality traits
The celestial bull is ruled by the planet, symbolising love, money and beauty, Venus. This is the reason behind their haunting sex appeal combined with an alluring groundedness. These qualities make them irresistible to other zodiacs.
While they could come across as a bit laidback because of their pleasure-seeking tendencies, they are one of the most hardworking zodiac signs on the wheel. They are good at seeking a healthy work-life balance. They also display great physical and mental endurance, and being a fixed sign makes them steadfast and rooted in their ideals. They could, however, be misunderstood as stubborn, which is also their most common flaw. But it is true that once convinced about something, it is difficult to change their viewpoint.
Overall, they are calm and patient; but if rubbed the wrong way, they can also display a bad temper. It is tough to get them angry, but when they do, it takes time for them to calm down.
Patient, perseverant and a true blue bull, they are sensuous and giving, too. Here is a lowdown on what it means to be in a relationship with a Taurus female or male.
Taurus and their special love language
If you are looking for a whirlwind and passionate romance, then dating a Taurus man or a woman won’t do much for you because they like to take their own sweet time in building a relationship. Taureans are seldom impulsive in love, but once they like someone, there is no going back. They are patient and sensual, believe in a slow, old-school romance, and prefer long-term relationships over flings or situationships.
Because they yearn for an unhurried relationship, dating them is like igniting a slow fire, for it is guaranteed that their ambers of passion remain flaming hot for a long, long time. They also like to pamper their lovers and expect the same from their partners. Want to woo your Taurean? Try soft neck kisses.
Taurus personality traits and compatibility
This fixed earth sign gets along famously well with the other two earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn. However, its best pairing is with the other Venusian zodiac sign, Libra, as their sensibilities match very well. Both have a penchant for living well and like material happiness along with emotional security and stability. Both Taurus and Libras are in for a long haul when it comes to relationships.
Taurus also complements Capricorn’s need for practicality and shares its love for labour. Both Taurus men and women appreciate Virgo’s sincerity and need for perfection.
They also could get along romantically well with the compassionate and emotional water sign of Pisces. This meditative sign’s zen-like, non-confrontational attitude attracts Taureans, and their slightly opposing mentalities blend well together.
Which professions suit the Taurus zodiac sign?
Lauded as great workers, Taureans excel at almost all professions they set their minds to. Thanks to the influence of Venus, they are great at creative jobs and because they are earth signs, Taureans are also pretty great at practical jobs like banking and accounting.
Other industries of interest for the Taurus zodiac sign would be beauty, administration, agriculture, business, food, music and politics.
