April 20 – May 20 | Element: Earth | Ruling Planet: Venus
Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac and is symbolized by the Bull — steady, strong, and unshakably grounded. People born under this sign are known for their reliability, patience, and practicality. They are deeply rooted in the physical world, often having a deep appreciation for comfort, food, art, and nature. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, Taurus individuals carry an inherent charm and a strong aesthetic sense. They thrive in environments that offer stability, routine, and peace. Emotionally, they are calm, loyal, and trustworthy — once a Taurus gives you their word, they stand by it.
Taurus does not rush into decisions or relationships. They take their time to evaluate, feel, and commit. While they can be incredibly patient, their stubborn streak is well known. When a Taurus makes up their mind, it’s almost impossible to change it. However, this same stubbornness fuels their perseverance. Taurus will work hard, push through difficulties, and show unwavering dedication to their goals and loved ones. Their gentle nature, combined with strong determination, makes them one of the most dependable signs in the zodiac.
In relationships, Taurus is affectionate, loyal, and sensual. They express love through actions — cooking a favorite meal, giving thoughtful gifts, or simply being a comforting presence during tough times. For a Taurus, love is not just about emotions; it’s about building something solid, long-lasting, and real. They seek partners who appreciate stability and are willing to grow together over time.
When in love, Taurus can be incredibly devoted and protective. However, they do take their time opening up. Once trust is built, they offer emotional security that few can match. They value consistency in their relationships and may not deal well with unpredictability or emotional games. The best matches for Taurus are often Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn, and Pisces — signs that value emotional connection and loyalty. Fire signs like Leo or Aries may find Taurus too slow-moving, but with effort, even those combinations can find harmony.
Taurus individuals thrive in careers that allow them to build steadily and reap long-term rewards. Their practical nature and eye for quality make them excellent at working with their hands, designing beautiful spaces, or managing money. Careers in finance, architecture, interior design, farming, real estate, and even fashion can suit them well. They dislike pressure-heavy, chaotic environments and prefer roles where they can work at their own pace and perfect their craft.
They are often drawn to roles that offer tangible results. A Taurus will take pride in building something that lasts — whether it's a stable family, a growing business, or a flourishing garden. Their life purpose often revolves around creating comfort, security, and beauty — both for themselves and for others. Their methodical work ethic and loyalty make them reliable team members and strong leaders who earn respect slowly but surely.
You are calm yet powerful, gentle but firm. As a Taurus, your inner strength lies in your ability to stay grounded, consistent, and true to your values. Embrace your love for beauty, your loyalty to those who matter, and your power to create lasting foundations. Let your roots run deep — and blossom fully into who you're meant to be.
