Check out these stellar Bulls…
Star Trek: Voyager fans remember Kate Mulgrew as Captain Kathryn Janeway, the first female captain of a starship. She’s glad she could blast stereotypes and glass ceilings, but knows that she also has to “work at changing and constantly reinventing myself,” which she has done in many movies, plays, and TV appearances ever since, including most recently in Orange Is the New Black.
Kate is a determined Bull through and through. About her character, Galina “Red” Reznikov, she says, “Red is like me in that she has a real need to survive in a world that has presented her with a crooked path.” That crooked path has taken this Taurus straight to success!
Keri Russell, a one-of-a-kind celeb…
Keri Russell is a charming juxtaposition of earthy and sexy, a comfort-loving Bull who’s a coffee and beer snob, a cosmetics model most comfortable wearing jeans and scuffed boots. She’s a Westerner living in Brooklyn, a former Mouseketeer (with Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, among other notables) and star of Felicity, who also played a ruthless Reagan-era K.G.B. double agent on FX’s The Americans. And she’s a bike-riding, candy-making mother of three delving into a make-believe world of sex and violence at her job (and who harbors a secret desire for a “fierce” forearm tattoo). But true to her Taurus nature, she’s as grounded, self-effacing, and cheerful as they come!
No one is more driven than Tatyana!
At 6, Tatyana McFadden, paralyzed by spina bifida, was adopted from a Russian orphanage. Her mother, Deborah, urged her to try sports. At 24, Tatyana became the first woman to win six gold medals at the 2013 International Paralympic Committee Athletics World Championships. She won silver in Nordic skiing at the 2014 Sochi Paralympics, and won the women’s wheelchair division of the Boston, Chicago, London, and New York marathons. She’s won 17 Paralympic medals across her appearances in multiple summer Games.
A lawsuit she filed expanded the rights of Maryland students with disabilities to compete in interscholastic sports. The words Tatyana lives by come courtesy of Gandhi, “be the change you want to see in the world.”
Make love last with a stubborn Taurus…
Taurus is stubborn and persistent, which is a good thing in a lot of ways, including sticking with a partner! If you have a Taurus partner, be sure to let him or her know exactly (and often) how much you love the way they never give up on anything important (including you). That sturdy Bull has got your back, and there are few things in life more comforting than that.
Taurus sticks to the familiar and routine like a burr sticks to wool, but you need to make sure that you don’t cling too tightly to a partner out of a desire to make love last—especially if it’s a less than ideal situation! Don’t sit in stony silence holding in grudges for years. Talk things out and your relationship will go the distance!
How to know if your Taurus really loves you…
It can be hard to know just how Taurus feels about you. This sign follows their heart but doesn’t always wear that heart on their sleeve! If love is real, you’ll be wooed. Affectionate Taurus enjoys cuddling and kissing. Verbal endearments will be plentiful, too, although they might not include the L word. Taurus has no problem spending money on you either—after asking about your favorite color or flower—and the gifts won’t be cheap knockoffs, because this sign knows quality! The Bull won’t put you on a pedestal (they’re too practical for that), but if love is true, nothing will sway their affection!
Dating a bull? Pay attention to this…
As a rule, Taurus is reliable, dependable, and set in their ways. These signs indicate there could be trouble in paradise!
Breaks Routine: Fixed Taurus is fond of the familiar. A sudden change could indicate a problem.
Ignores Grooming: Taurus has a refined aesthetic sense, always taking care to look sharp. Growing suddenly lax is a signal that something’s up.
Loses the Mojo: Taurus is a passionate, sensual lover. If the lovemaking seems ho-hum, their attention could be elsewhere.
Leaves Projects Undone: Stubborn Taurus sees things through to the end. This could be the biggest red flag of all!
Find your soul mate in these places…
Love and partnership are high on your priority list. Follow your hobbies and interests and you could also find love. Sign up for a few cooking classes. You could meet a gastronome who shares your love of tiramisu! Grab some pals and take a tasting tour of the craft breweries, wineries, or artisanal foodies in your state. Visit a botanical garden, flower show, or local nursery to locate like-minded gardeners. Prowl antiques fairs or flea markets where you can peruse an infinite supply of interesting stuff and add to your collection as you spice up your love life!
You might not recognize this critical part of yourself…
You are practical, sensible, and so dependable that others come to rely on you. Faced with a problem, you take the bull by the horns and deal with it. But each seemingly solid and unruffled Taurus harbors a romantic dreamer inside! With Venus as your ruler, how could you not be moved by all things beautiful and poetic? And that hide isn’t as tough as it looks. Emotional and sensitive, you’re easily wounded by a rebuke or snub. But that perfect combination of tender and tough is the secret to your success!
Taurus, the hopeless romantic…
You know those clichés in online dating profiles? “Love moonlit walks on the beach, roses, fine wine candlelit dinners, good music,” Well, with Taurus they’re real! Those tried-and-true dating maxims will work with this sign perhaps more than with any other—gourmet food and fine wine in a nice restaurant, dressing up to go to the theater or a concert, or a picnic in the country. In an age of instant connections, fast food, and speed dating, the Bull still wants to be courted. If you don’t know what that means, perhaps you’d better move on to the next prospect!
This is one of Taurus´s necessities…
Brave Bull, you seem so confident and stoic in the face of problems, and you are! But beneath that tough hide lies the soul of a dreamer, thanks to your ruler Venus. It isn’t selfish to take some time to ponder your life’s goals—in fact, it’s a necessity.
Think about taking a meditative walk on a labyrinth. There are thousands of them around the world. Ambling on one of these grassy or stony paths helps you clear your mind and focus your thoughts. Work and stress melt away with the fluidity of the exercise. Don’t be surprised if you return with a whole new purpose in life!
