Dependability: If Taurus natives say that they’ll do something, consider it done. You can count on a Taurus for anything: showing up on time, meeting deadlines, fulfilling quotas—all without being told twice.
Problem Solving: They can turn an idea into a tangible reality. Taurus manifest visions using hard work and persistence. They think of a big project as pieces of a puzzle, enjoying the challenge of figuring out how to put it all together.
Networking: One thing you’ll never catch a Taurus doing is getting involved in petty office politics. They hate drama and will avoid it at all costs. Not because they hate conflict, they just think it’s a waste of time.
Loyalty: A Taurus is deeply loyal to their company, co-workers, and clients. Once a Taurus is established in their workplace, it’s highly unlikely they’ll leave or look for another place of employment.
Future-Focused: Taurus isn’t only thinking about the present, they are thinking many years down the line. Ask Taurus about their five-year plan, they got it written out step-by-step.
Journalism: With the 24/7 news cycle, journalist work around the clock and meet tight deadlines in order to cover news before their competitors and have to find the latest stories quickly. This doesn’t mesh well with Taurus’ slow pace and methodical style.
Emergency Room Doctor: Taurus prefers a stable work environment with set hours and a steady routine that never changes. ER doctor is the exact opposite of that. Long hours, changing shifts, and a new emergency every minute.
Firefighter: Again, this is another fast-paced, high-stakes career that doesn’t mesh well with the stability-loving, slow moving Taurus. Fires are completely unpredictable and dangerous.
Bartender: Taurus loves a good cocktail, but they take their sweet time making them, which isn’t ideal when you have a bar full of thirsty customers on a Saturday night.
Reality Show Star: Taurus hates drama—hates petty arguments, hates working with others when they aren’t in charge. Also: Not fans of people who do not agree with them.
Out of all the earth signs, Taurus is the most connected with all five of their senses, as they are the most physical sign. They especially have a heightened sense of smell, touch, and taste. They know who’s coming up behind them because they can recognize a person’s footsteps. They know if their lover is cheating on them because they can smell someone else’s perfume on them. They can even glean insight about a person simply by touching them. To others they may seem psychic, but really they’re just highly preceptive. Like a bloodhound, they are guided by their physical senses that rarely lead them astray.
Taurus has a knack for making money and smart investments, simply by going with their instincts. It’s no surprise that the symbol for Wall Street is a bull, as Taurus have a natural affinity for making trades, buying and selling stock, and investing. They simply just have a sense of what is going to be big, which helps them earn their wealth.
Taurus governs the throat which includes the neck, thyroid glands, and vocal tracts. Taurus are usually known for their elegant necks and their beautiful singing or speaking voices (Lizzo, Adele, and Cher are all Taurus). Taurus’ neck area is a very sensitive area, and they love gentle kisses on the back of their neck, their throat, or even an old fashion hickey gets their motor running.
Because their zodiac sign is ruled by the throat, Taurus are prone to getting sore throats, colds, laryngitis, and thyroid problems. They are also subjected to getting tonsillitis and earaches. When stressed, Taurus usually develop a stiff neck, or can lose their voice completely. Because Taurus natives are ruled by Venus, they are also prone to back pain.
Taurus have a bad rap for being materialistic and greedy. Taurus have been known to either hoard money or flash cash around, but deep down, Taurus crave stability above all else. Money represents safety and security. It’s not uncommon for a Taurus to have a “rainy day” fund, keep cash hidden around the house. They may even have a secret saving account, so that they will always have money within reach. The idea of being broke scares Taurus. This isn’t because they are afraid of losing their luxurious lifestyle, but because the lack of fund means financial instability. Taurus would often rather work a boring job that is stable with a reliable income than have a job they’re passionate about, but is financially unstable.
Slow: The one thing you can never do is rush a Taurus. They have their own sense of time that moves slower than ours. Taurus prefer to take their time on their work because they’re meticulous by nature.
Resistant to Change: Taurus prefer stability to innovation and are resistant to change. They’d rather do the “tried and true” method than even consider another option.
Uncompromising: While Taurus is excellent at making connections, they do not play well with others who disagree with them. Stubborn to the bone, Taurus can only see one side of any situation: theirs.
Argumentative: Taurus is pretty easy going by nature and it takes a lot to rattle them. However, if you try to do something that a Taurus doesn’t like, prepare to feel the wrath of the Bull.
Demanding: Taurus have excellent management skills and know exactly how to break apart a big idea into smaller parts and assign it to others. However they can be pretty demanding when it comes to their staff or other employees.
Mangers: Bull-headed Taurus aren’t great at taking orders, but they love giving them—making them the ultimate management material. They are serious and dedicated workers, who want to get a job done right.
Biologist: Meticulous, logical, and an interest in intellectual pursuits, a career as a biologist is perfect for a science-loving Taurus. Their observation skills will be useful as they try to uncover the mysteries of the Earth.
Chef: It’s no secret how Taurus feels about food—and they love nothing more than creating (and eating) the perfect dish.
Interior Designer: Stylish, creative, and excellent taste, Taurus would thrive in the interior design business. They love taking a blank space and seeing how they can build something wonderful.
Investment Banker: Taurus is a natural with money and have a real talent for knowing where to invest it to make it grow tenfold.
If a Taurus is ending their relationship, it’s because the relationship feels too unstable to continue. Or perhaps they believe that their partner is being unfaithful to them. And that Taurus jealous streak is no lie. Taurus tend to stay in unhappy or stagnate relationships for longer than they should because the relationship is convenient and change is scary for them. If a Taurus is doing the dumping, something has gone very wrong in the relationship.
Taurus is not famous for letting their partner down easy. They believe that a harsh truth is better than a kind lie, and won’t try to sugar coat things. Their blunt way of speaking can make the breakup particularly painful for their soon-to-be ex. However, Taurus doesn’t mean to be malicious, they’re just telling the truth. “It’s over, here’s your stuff, please leave”—simple as that. Taurus has probably thought about ending the relationship weeks or even months in advance and has already prepared emotionally for the breakup.
During… If Taurus isn’t the one initiating the breakup, prepare for a fight. A Taurus will keep a dying relationship going for much longer than it should because they’re afraid of change and like the stability the relationship provides. If they cannot argue their point and the breakup happens, Taurus will not show any emotion. They’ll prefer to cry when they’re alone. Taurus will make it a point to collect all of their stuff before leaving. If a Taurus is going through a divorce—they’ll duke it out in the courts.
After the breakup… After the breakup, Taurus will be completely and emotionally devastated. Taurus rarely get involved with people who they don’t see a future with, so it’s the end of a future they were sure they were going to have with that person. To cope with the loss, Taurus natives might self-indulge in their favorite vices to ease the pain.
Long-term… Taurus take a long time to heal from a breakup because they have to re-learn a whole new routine. Taurus is not known for their adaptability, so it will take a while for them to develop a new routine. Once they do, they’ll slowly move on from their past relationship. Taurus is strong and enduring, they’ll learn from this relationship and grow. They will use what they learned from the relationship in their next one.
“Slow and steady wins the race” that’s the motto for seducing a Taurus. Ever the earth sign, Taurus prefers romances to be based on solid foundations. Friendships that have grown into romances. You can’t rush a Taurus into bed—they need to be wined and dined. If someone tries to make a move on a Taurus before they’re ready, they’ll instantly give them the cold shoulder or leave them on read. Taurus natives have no time or interest in mind games. Ever the monogamist, very rarely do you catch them doing a one-night stand. So, if you want a Taurus, you’re going to have to put in the work.
Start by making the first move. Taurus are a quiet, easygoing zodiac sign that make up their minds slowly. If you wait for them to make the first move, they might decide they aren’t interested and won’t even bother making a move at all. Take them out to a nice restaurant (bonus points if you take them to their favorite restaurant). Double bonus points if you make dinner for them, as they’ll be impressed by your culinary skills and flattered that you’re taking care of them.
