Here are Detailed Characteristics of Taurus
In characteristics of Taurus, I will show you the basic
characteristics of all born under the influence of Taurus Zodiac Sign. The
keywords that explain Taurus characteristics are as follows:
Strength
Conservatism
Stubbornness
Sensuality
Sensitivity
Fixation
Now, let’s look at each of the key characteristics of Taurus
in details:
Strength
Strength is the predominating characteristic of Taurus. With
that strength, however, comes a firm-set nature which is difficult to change. The
fact is, dogged persistence is the particular mainstay of Taurus and such an
individual will not be swayed from that upon which the heart is set. Being
practical-minded, they plan ahead and usually carry their purposes through to
the finish.
Conservatism
In both desire and approach, characteristics of Taurus tend toward
caution and conservatism. It takes much to win their trust and
friendship...though once obtained, these people are forever loyal.
Stubbornness
Calm, reliable and patient, the Taurus individual is
sometimes accused of being boring and stubborn
beyond belief, but those born under the jurisdiction of this Sign can withstand
burdens which would knock less stable personalities totally off-balance. They absorb
ideas and easily retain them, due in large part to the remarkable memory so
often associated with persons ruled by this Sign.
Sensuality
Another noticeable characteristic of Taurus is sensuality. These individuals are
considered to be sensual....in that they appreciate good meal and fine wine
better than most others. Material objects are dearly loved but not so much for
their monetary value. In short, the eye of Taurus is always focused upon beauty
for beauty's sake. This
is basically due to the Taurus appreciation of creature comforts.
Sensitivity
Although often mild and happy by nature, Taurus subjects are
especially sensitive to slights or
rebuffs but, even under such circumstances, is likely to be slow to anger.
Nonetheless, potential enemies should take caution...once the Taurus ire has
been roused, then this Sign can be unforgiving and extremely bitter. Their
battles are almost always open ones since those who are governed by this Sign
are virtually incapable of engaging in deceit or complicity.
Fixation
Above all, Taurus natives possess the characteristics of
being relentless which is manifested in a fixation
on a method which has been adopted through experience. Thus, if something
worked well in the past then, as far as these individuals are concerned; the
same will work again and again. Most importantly, the great pertinacity and
fixity of purpose associated to Taurus is often directed toward one goal.
Conclusion
Those born under the influence of Taurus should strive to be
slow to anger and work to curb the stubborn and self-willed nature inherent in
the character, which is often stirred by jealousy or prejudice.
Also, Taurus individuals should never make decisions when
excited or when overly-sympathetic to the viewpoint of another. The honest
opinions of this Sign are at their best when properly weighed. Due to the
Taurus native being normally faithful and trustworthy, his or her own strength
can sometimes become the chief weakness.
Let’s summarize positive and negative characteristics of
Taurus as-well-as likes and dislikes:
Positive
characteristic of Taurus: practical, reliable, patient, persistent,
determined, strong-willed, solid, affectionate, warm-hearted and trustworthy
with a firm sense of values
Negative
characteristic of Taurus: possessive, jealous, lazy, self-indulgent,
greedy, boring, unoriginal, stubborn and inflexible in opinion
Likes:
permanency, stability, luxury, comfort, pleasure and good food
Dislikes:

routine

Complete Taurus Profile
Taurus profile briefly explains all that made up Taurus
Zodiac Sign. You will learn about the Season, Ruling planet, Polarity, Zodiac
quality, Zodiac element and its influence on Taurus individuals. You will also
be familiar with lucky gem, lucky number,
lucky flower, lucky color and lucky day associated to all born under the Zodiac
Sign Taurus.
Now let’s look at Taurus profile in detail:
The Season
Taurus is a Spring Zodiac Sign (as are the Signs of Aries
and Gemini). Spring is the First Quarter (or Quadrant) of the yearly cycle,
traditionally associated with the period of new growth and/or rebirth.
Influence of Spring on
Taurus Profile
As natives of Spring, Taurus individuals like to create and
produce. More than those who fall under the jurisdiction of the other Seasons,
All born at Spring crave relatively constant appreciation and approval for what
is accomplished.
In general, individuals who fall under the jurisdiction of
Spring possess a great enthusiasm for life.
Ruling Planet
Taurus is dominated by Venus, the planet which also rules
Libra. Venus was named for the Roman Goddess of Love and Beauty. In its highest
form, Venus provides the finest of all planetary influences. It denotes a
kindly and harmonious nature, possessed with a desire for happiness and
comradeship.
Influence of Venus on
Taurus profile
Beauty, charm, love of music and gaiety all belong to the
make-up of a Venus individual. Taurus individuals, being under the influence of
this planet will spare no effort in the creation of comfortable surroundings.
They enjoy home life and form firm and lasting friendships. Such are the
positive aspects bestowed by Venus.
In contrast, however, lack of harmony is disturbing to
natives of Venus, causing them to become emotional over disputes. Being kindly
souls, they are easily offended and will resent even slight neglect. Unless
those ruled by this planet are careful in their choice of friends or those upon
whom they shower affection, the result may be misunderstanding.
Ruling
House
Taurus is the natural ruler of the Second House of the
Zodiac, commonly referred to as the "House of Material Possessions"
and known in Vedic Astrology as the "Gate of Hades." This is the
field which challenges an individual to define and refine his or her personal
sense of values.
Influence of the
Second House of the Zodiac on Taurus Profile
The things and qualities that a person born under the
influence of Taurus treasures, cherishes and enjoys are to be found here. This
is the area of personal security and gain...money, employment, possessions and
life's simple pleasures, as well as its luxuries.
Zodiac
Quality
Taurus is a Fixed Quality Sign (a Quality it shares with
Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius). Fixed Signs arrive at the height of each of the
four Seasons...a time of the most powerful seasonal expression. As the second
Zodiac Sign of Spring, Taurus is the solidifier of this Season.
Influence of Fixed
Quality on Taurus profile
Fixed Signs operate with stamina, loyalty, determination and
perseverance. They are not easily compromised, possess deeply-ingrained habits
and find any form of change a difficult concept (all which forms basic
characteristics of Taurus).
The most common response of Fixed Quality Signs is one of
resistance. Thus, "letting go" can be a problem in all areas of life.
These natives maintain, uphold and defend positions, responsibilities, goals or
desires in everyday situations. In short, they are the Zodiac's preservers of
tradition and those who fall under the jurisdiction of a Fixed Quality are not
easily distracted...able to keep "hands on the wheel and eyes on the
road" at all times.
Zodiac
Element
Taurus is governed by the Element of Earth...an element it
shares with the Signs of Capricorn and Virgo. Earth is also the ruler of the
Second, Sixth and Tenth Houses of the Zodiac.
Influence of Earth on
Taurus profile
The Element of Earth provides the ability to manifest
desires which help to ground energy and focus. Most Earth individuals have the
essential quality of strength and are practical souls being fond of
organization. As both defenders and builders, Earth natives are steady and
solid in their efforts with a strong sense of responsibility. Earth Signs are
concerned with reality and the constants of home, family and work.
These are sensual subjects who tend to be conservative in
their approach to life. They are kind and cautious and it takes much to win
their trust and friendship...though once obtained, these people are forever
loyal.
Zodiac
Polarity
Taurus is Negative in polarity (as are Cancer, Virgo,
Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces). The general characteristics of Negative Signs
lean toward introversion and prefer to draw upon personal resources rather than
look for external stimuli.
Influence of Negative
Polarity on Taurus Profile
Such individuals are naturally more receptive, sensitive and
nurturing than are the Zodiac Signs of Positive polarity (Aries, Gemini, Leo,
Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius). However, Negative Signs are also likely to be
much more cautious, retiring and standoffish than their Positive counterparts
with a tendency to keep personal feelings under tight control. Taurus is the
most introverted of the Negative Signs (with Virgo a close second).
Lucky number
The lucky number for Taurus is six (also known as the
Hexad). It is the mystic number of Venus and a number which Taurus shares with
those individuals born under the Sign of Libra. Six is feminine in nature and,
when associated with Taurus, resides in the Second House of Money and
Possessions, governing all things lucrative. It is the number of luck and
chance...life and strength...honesty and beauty...a number which is capable of
both creation and destruction.
Lucky flower
Lucky flower
The lucky flower for Taurus is the violet. The blossoms of
this flower are generally considered to be among the most attractive of all
cultivated or wild blooms. The violet is associated with a number of
different symbolic meanings. The blue variety is used as a token of friendship
and remembrance, while the purple violet symbolizes faithful love.

of nature or natural things. They are also attracted to soothing colors that
