You want financial security and will work toward that goal.

Description

Taurus, the Bull, is your star sign. Taurus is the second sign of the Zodiac. It is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and desire. It is a strong and solid (fixed) sign. Taurus governs practicality and security. It is a feminine sign and very magnetic.

As a Taurus, you are practical and reliable. You are also a great lover of sensual pleasures. You may tend to be a little stubborn, possessive and conservative. You have your feet firmly in the material world, so you understand what is needed to lead the good life. No one can force you into anything without giving you time to think and agree. However, in an emergency, you can react quickly and help when needed.

Taurus rules the throat, giving you a powerful, often beautiful voice. The influence of Venus opens up a world of musical talent and appreciation. Taureans are good singers and musicians, or at least, they love music.

Taurus may be a bit lazy and tend to eat or drink too much. A good approach to your health would include a plan for disciplined exercise and diet.

Taureans are very strong-willed and often very creative. They can also have a passionate nature, with a strong sense of loyalty. They are kind and generous with friends, with whom they develop a quiet understanding.

Hunky Taurus is physically strong and solidly built. You probably enjoy lifting or other body-building routines. You like sports that demand strength and endurance. You also like to mess around the garden, and you love other outdoor activities: picnics, hikes, trips to botanical gardens or the zoo. You tend to be subdued, but you have a fine sense of humor, and enjoy your social life.

Taureans make good bankers, artists, accountants, musicians, gardeners or any profession that requires patience and determination.

Taurus colors are brown, russet, and turquoise. The beautiful emerald is your birthstone. The emerald's rich green color is also good for you since it is the color of money and relaxation. In geometry, the emerald takes the shape of a six-sided crystal, and six is the number of love. Flowers for Taurus are the red rose, daisy, lily, and daffodil.
