Taurus Character

Your steadfastness and loyal nature are admired by everyone who knows you, for you are a comforter and a protector to those you love. You like to be practical, down to earth, and have a very straight and forthright manner. You don't like pretense, and it bothers you to put on airs or listen to those who do.

You win through endurance rather than speed. You have a natural ability to stay with things long after others have quit on themselves, and this persistance is your key to success. You believe that promises should be kept, and although you like to have fun and enjoy a good joke as much as anyone else, there is a serious side to life and its goals that occupies much of your thinking.

Although you like attention you don't like to be showy or leave your center of being to impress others. There is a kind of reserved reticence to you that will hold back on people until you are sure they can be trusted. This is because you have so much to give and are afraid of your love and generosity not being appreciated.

Companionship

During the first half of life you have to be careful about letting too much physical earthly pleasures overpower your sense of sober wisdom. Taurus is a sign of physical love and pleasure, but overdoing these good things of the earth can deprive you of a sense of balance that you so badly need. To achieve this centering, you would do well to listen to the Air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) for they help you to lighten up and give you the mental balance that keeps you from becoming too engrossed in physical earthly overdoing.

Love Life

In love you are tender, caring and loyal to a fault. When you give your heart to someone, it is for life and then some. You react very poorly to divorce, endings of any kind or threats to your emotional security, for in essence you believe that love is forever.

Compatibility

You can generally get along with most signs for you have a high degree of tolerance and are willing to ignore things that bother you rather than fight with them. You are compatible with the signs Virgo (who teaches you to put order and organization to your life and pay attention to the important details you sometimes overlook) and Capricorn (who helps you to achieve the respect and dignity you have always sought).

Whatever you do from love will work out for you rather than following the wishes of others. You must learn this because you don't always trust yourself enough to believe in your own abilities above the advice of others. Your biggest enemy is jealousy. You must know the difference between admiring others and being trapped into becoming jealous of them, for jealousy is the opposite of love which rules you and brings you everything you need.

Karma

The Karma of Taurus is to receive the love of the earth in the form of matter and substance. The more stable, steadfast and centered you can be the better you can do this to achieve wealth in marriage, friendships, dignity, money and every way imaginable.
