The nature of the bull

Taurus is a fixed earth sign, ruled by Venus. Fix means: It preserves and deepens. Earth means: He needs ground under his feet. Venus gives him a strong sense of beauty, pleasure and values.

A bull cannot be rushed. He takes his time to examine a situation and only makes a decision when he is sure. But then he sticks with it, with a perseverance that others often underestimate. What he builds is on solid ground: a friendship, a home, a job, a garden.

Taurus lives with all senses. Good food, pleasant materials, music, nature: for him, this is not a minor matter, but nourishment for the soul. He feels very clearly what is of value, in things as well as in people.

The strengths of Taurus

• Reliability: You can rely on a bull's word.
• Patience: He sticks with it, even if success only becomes apparent late.
• Down-to-earth: In troubled times he acts like an anchor.
• Sense of quality: He recognizes what lasts and is unimpressed by fashions.
• Ability to enjoy: He can enjoy life and share it with others.
• Loyalty: Once he's taken to his heart, he doesn't let go so quickly.

Where the bull gets in his own way

The downside of consistency is stubbornness. Once a Taurus has made up his mind, it is difficult to change his mind, even if new circumstances suggest a change. He easily experiences changes that come from outside as a threat.

The love of what is familiar can also keep him stuck: in habits that are no longer good for him, in situations that he does not leave out of comfort. And because security is so important to him, the desire for possession can sometimes spill over into people he loves.

This is how the bull grows beyond himself

• Dose change: Try new things in small steps instead of rejecting them because they are foreign.
• Check habits: Once a year, ask yourself which routine still serves you and which is just convenient.
• Practice letting go: What you willingly let go makes room for something that can grow again.
• Enjoyment as a source of strength: Consciously treat yourself to beautiful things, then it becomes nourishment and not comfort.

Taurus in love

In love, Taurus is faithful, sensual and constant. He doesn't fall in love lightly, but rather allows trust to grow slowly. But once he has committed himself, he is a partner you can rely on for life if it's right.

Taurus shows affection through actions and closeness: a shared meal, a hug, a beautifully designed home. Big words are less important to him than the feeling that someone is staying.

Taurus often get along well with other earth signs (Virgo, Capricorn) and with water signs (Cancer, Pisces) who share their need for security. Scorpio, his opposite sign, fascinates him with depth and passion. The entire horoscope shows how two people really work together, for example in Kombin or in the Relationship analysis. You can read more about the character pairs in the article Zodiac sign compatibility.

Taurus at work

At work, Taurus impresses with their endurance and quality. He works thoroughly, meets deadlines and builds something over the years. He particularly enjoys tasks with tangible results.

Many Tauruses feel comfortable in areas that have to do with values, beauty or nature: finance, design, gastronomy, crafts or agriculture. What is important to them is a secure job and a pace that they can set for themselves.

Taurus in friendship and family

As a friend, Taurus is loyal and calm. He often has few but long-standing friendships. With him you will find peace, a listening ear and a good meal.

Taurus provides stability and security in the family. He maintains traditions and creates a home that people like to return to. He can learn to accompany changes in the family, for example when children go their own way, with calmness.

Myth and constellation

According to Greek legend, Zeus transformed himself into a beautiful white bull in order to win the king's daughter Europa. She sat on his back and he carried her across the sea to Crete. The continent of Europe is said to be named after her. In this picture, the bull represents strength, beauty and a gentleness that you can't tell from looking at him.

The constellation Taurus contains two well-known star groups, the Pleiades and the Hyades, as well as the reddish star Aldebaran. In Western astrology, “Taurus” refers to the second section of the zodiac, not the constellation itself.

More than your zodiac sign

Your zodiac sign shows where the sun was when you were born. How you feel describes your moon sign, how you act describes your ascendant. A Taurus with a Moon in Aries appears very different than one with a Moon in Pisces. More on this Moon in Taurus, at Ascendant Taurus and in the overview Planets in the signs.

When are you a Taurus?

The Sun will be in Taurus from approximately April 20th to May 20th. The exact changeover days vary by up to one day from year to year because the calendar year does not exactly correspond to the path of the sun. If you were born around April 20th or May 20th and 21st, your birth time decides.
