Taurus: dates and personality

What Taurus is like

Taurus is the energy that stabilizes and gives form: after Aries' impulse, it builds and consolidates. Its archetype is the builder and guardian of the sensory world, with patience, persistence, and a strong bond with body and matter. It values security, pleasure, and the tangible. Its challenge tends to be resistance to change and attachment.

In love

In love it seeks stability, physical closeness, and loyalty; it commits slowly but deeply. Trust and consistency matter more to it than grand gestures.

At work

At work it is steady, reliable, and practical: it finishes what it starts and manages resources well. It thrives in stable environments and in anything involving finances, materials, and craft.
