What kind of a person is a Taurus?

In simple astrological terms, a Taurus is a person born between April 19th and May 20^th….hence, belongs to the zodiac sun sign Taurus. It is an earth sign ruled by the planet Venus.

Looking beyond simple astrological term, you will observe that persons born of Taurus have body consciousness, and enjoy the sensual things of life, the things which give one a sense of well-being. She has a natural affinity for all that the earth plane offers, and finds both pleasure and security in them. She enjoys food, carpentry, plants and animals, artistic forms, and music as well.

The truth is a Taurus person has a great longing to something special, exciting. Accordingly, Taurus person is somewhat less likely to take risks than other signs, certainly uncalculated ones.

Indeed, Taurus natives often take extra measures to ensure security, though in this light it may sometimes be considered controlling by some. Indeed, Taurus individual can even be brutal when robbed of its sense of security.

Taurus individuals are usually strong and loyal, but only until they starts feeling disrespected or encroached upon. Being straightforward and down-to-earth, those governed by this Sign prefer a non-nonsense approach and too much verbalizing or complex fantasizing is not a Taurus trait.

Taurus Lucky Number

Taurus lucky number is six (also known as the Hexad). Six is feminine in nature and, when associated with Taurus, resides in the Second House of Money and Possessions, governing all things lucrative.

Generally, six is the number of luck and chance...life and strength...honesty and beauty...a number which is capable of both creation and destruction. 

 

In short, six may have an equally strong tendency toward evil as it does toward good...toward rebellion as it does toward union with God. It is the number of mutual hating and giving...of mystic destiny.

Here are other mystical qualities of Six (Taurus Lucky Number):

Six is the mystic number of Venus. It represents family and symbolizes the home, parents, healers and counselors. It is representative of domestic bliss, responsibility, compassion, marriage and devotion. Six is also associated with fraternity and brotherhood...or sorority and sisterhood. It is the common bond of closeness between people, representing love, nurturing, harmony and justice.

Six is the perfect divider of the circle and the radius of a circle divides its circumference into the six points of the hexagon to form the Seal of Solomon...the hexagram. In geometry, six is the hexagon...two triangles which share a common side.

The colors associated with the number six are all those within the blue family. Its peak tends to be during the daylight hours, with its natural element being earth and its associated gems being emeralds and turquoise.

Similarly, in mathematics, six is two threes, also known as the second perfection. A mystic number represented in nature by the formation of crystals, honeycomb, snowflakes and flowers, six is a happy number with the power to ward off evil. It is said the the cycle of life has six periods (birth, growth, decay, death, absorption and metamorphosis) and that there are six states of man (love, chastity, death, fame, time and eternity).

Compatible Love Match for Taurus

Taurus Love Match

A compatible love match for Taurus is one who possesses the same understanding of practical values and the materialistic progress that Taurus needs in life for self-expression. Looking at the twelve Zodiac Signs, I believe natives of Capricorn and Virgo are best love matches for Taurus.

First, let’s see what makes Capricorn ideal love match for Taurus.

A Capricorn partner will back Taurus all the way with loyalty, affection and steady plodding. The success record of a Capricorn native is good...particularly in business...and Taurus will be happy...though not always necessarily ecstatic. Now let me explain it this way:

• For the Taurus male, a partnership with an individual governed by Capricorn can result in true love. Both will share the qualities of being strong-willed and eager for success in life. Each can help the other to maintain a focus on winning and achieving important goals. Especially, the Taurus male has a powerful personality and showers a mate with romantic attention. Hence, the Capricorn partner will feel loved and treasured in a very special way.

• For the Taurus female, a partnership with an individual governed by Capricorn can result in lasting love. Both share so many important things, including a strong desire for security. Here, each partner will be very deep, passionate and romantic. The lovable and trustworthy nature of the Taurus female relaxes the normally serious Capricorn individual and really brings out a sense of humor. In turn, the Capricorn partner will be devoted to the Taurus woman and make her feel very special indeed.

Virgo, another Sign ruled by the element of Earth, would also be a favorable love match for Taurus.

Virgo is a Sign that is indicative of the perfectionist...the quiet and ambitious yet affectionate individuals who also make good home-builders...and rather ideal as a mate for Taurus. However, quarrels will occur on occasion if money matters are not absolutely straightforward.

• For the Taurus male, a partnership with an individual governed by Virgo will be deeply passionate and possibly even spiritual. The Taurus man will encourage the Virgo native to be the best possible person and in turn, the Virgo partner will be drawn to the deeply emotional side of the Taurus male's nature. Men ruled by Taurus have a passion for life and a knack for succeeding at their goals, which will inspire Virgo partners to pursue their own personal desires. This is also one of the few love matches that is suitable for a business relationship.

• For the Taurus female, a partnership with an individual governed by Virgo is one where many needs, qualities and values are shared. Both yearn for a secure and committed relationship and both will strive together to create that ideal. This is also a good match in physical terms. Indeed, the adorable Taurus female will awaken inner passions in the Virgo native that were heretofore unknown. Actually, Virgo man will consider the Taurus female to be quite amazing...loyal and diligent in achieving her goals...and these are exactly the qualities that hard-working Virgo wants in a companion.

Negative side of Taurus

Taurus Negative Influence

Despite the peaceful gentility given to Taurus, many aspects of Taurus nature are notable to be fierce, ambitious and violent. And…. in keeping to my promise to provide all you need to know about Taurus, I will now present to you the negative side of Taurus.

First, you should note that negative side of Taurus is more pronounced in face of crises. This sign is not psychologically equipped to deal with conflict and suffering, which reveal it’s more neurotic, sometimes brutal side. It does not take well to threats, to disrespect or to rigid or overly burdensome demands, and can be quite resentful in the face of these.

Negative side of Taurus is remarkably revealed in face of opposition. It is likely to arouse the Taurus native to unreasonable fury, during which friendships and promises may easily be thrown to the wind. Potential enemies should take caution...once the Taurus ire has been roused, then this Sign can be unforgiving and extremely bitter.

To help you understand it better, let’s examine the negative side of Taurus man, woman and children:

Negative side of Taurus man

On occasion, the Taurus male has been described as being rather immoral. Jealousy can be a severe problem for this man. He evaluates everything by the principle "I have". This can include his romantic partner. He may feel exiled from the partner he desires because he was too possessive and she ran.

When his plans are disrupted, he does not find it easy to change course. Only after great deliberation, much of it silent and internal, does he finally decide to tweak his plans.

Due to the love of this man to live the "good life," he possesses a spendthrift nature which needs to be watched and carefully controlled. Some men born under this sign also appear to live in a state of constant worry regarding their ability to make money and pay their monthly bills which prevents them from focusing on the bigger picture of creating long-term fiscal integrity.

Negative side of Taurus woman

There are certain to be ups and downs with a female governed by this Sign. Although she is capable of loving in a whole-hearted fashion, she can, if provoked, be very contrary and resentful. This is a female who appears to be calm, reserved and everybody's friend, but beneath that sedate composure resides a great deal of jealousy along with the desire to possess the rich things life has to offer.

She is not always very wise in the philosophic area.

Venus, the planet of beauty and love, gives them a fascinating and charming personality. Because of this, these graceful women attract men easily. They are lavish in affections and have a warm-hearted, magnetic personality. This can lead to affairs of the heart. Their kind, sympathetic nature makes them very susceptible, and they should guard against insincere flattery from men that can lead them astray.

Negative side of Taurus children

Perhaps the most obvious potential problem for children governed by this Sign is selfishness (which usually goes hand-in-hand with possessiveness). In addition, this characteristic is frequently accompanied by obsessive behavior and jealousy...particularly when a parent pays attention to anyone else. This may result in the occasional show of vindictiveness which seems to materialize out of nowhere. Younger siblings often bear the brunt of such behavior and it is important that an older Taurus child be given an equal amount of attention as that paid to any younger brothers or sisters, especially newborns.

The Taurus personality is a fixed one and this child may not find it easy to mix freely with his or her peers. All too often, the little Taurus is perfectly content with solitude, thoroughly enjoying his or her own company. The unwillingness to share with others also creates an additional problem in this area for the young Taurus. Thus, he or she needs to be encouraged to make friends and engage in mutual play.

It should be noted that there is a danger...particularly among the boys who fall under the jurisdiction of Taurus...to be combative with playmates. Once entering into a fight, the Taurus child seldom knows when to stop. There may also be a distinct lack of moral courage with the little Taurus. If questioned too closely, he or she is apt to seek refuge in prevarication in order to escape punishment for any wrongdoing and the best course of action for any caregiver under such circumstances would be to lead through kindness, rather than the employment of force and rigid discipline.

Please Note

Although most Taurus natives are aware of some negative side inherent within their natural melancholy, basic constructive drives within this sign usually make them go with the greater good. Even in the case a Taurus person does go down a wrong path, it will be more systematically conductive than just spite, and should be rewarding aplenty. That said, naturally they are actually more inclined to fall into depression than act in a negative fashion, unless the chart is energized and focused.
