Taurus Personality Traits

A Taurus is the best representation of growth and development in the whole of the Zodiac. This is why Taureans are often considered to be very rooted and earthy nurturers. They are highly caring, and compassionate.

Every Taurus needs harmony in their life. They are constantly concerned with making everything around them pleasurable and lovely to look at. They are deeply material, and their happiness relies on possessions and security in their lifestyle. A Taurus’ need for harmony often causes them to be quite flexible, though they are known for being extremely stubborn. They often struggle to find a balance, but their internal quest for simplicity helps for them to find symmetry in their personality.

As a very airy and changeable individual, a Taurus often struggles to find their autonomy. It is very important for them to develop independence, and to learn how to take care of themselves without the help of others. In order to do so, a Taurus must understand that the world does not revolve around them, and that they cannot always be the center of attention. They have to learn how to develop healthy habits alone.

A Taurus will never say no to indulging in the most physical matters. They enjoy food deeply, are very sexual creatures, and enjoy sports. However, they do not crave constant activity, often needing to recharge and relax after a long day. Sometimes, a Taurus will prefer to stay home, where things are comfortable and familiar and simple.

A Taurus boasts strong observational skills. They have the ability to map out, strategize, and solve problems or implement plans. However, they are known to procrastinate, because they do not always need to be in action. Finding a balance between relaxing and working extremely hard is often a struggle for a Taurus, as they love both sides equally, but do not crave them at the same time. It is either action or inaction, work or comfort.

A natural born team leader, a Taurus enjoys team work when they are in charge and have the ability to add individual touches to the project. They are dominant, and fight back urges to lead when they are not in a position that allows them to do so. Their stubborn nature is combative here, and they will often argue until things are done their way.

Taureans can be considered quite selfish due to their stubbornness and their strong beliefs. They always protect their own interests above anything else, as to ensure their comfort. However, they are highly intuitive, and can be people pleasers because of that. They take it to heart when they see people who need a compassionate hand, and will always live for the people they care about.

Taurus Compatibility

A Taurus is very indulgent, creative, and lazy. They are best suited for someone who doesn’t mind relaxing and staying in a few nights a week, while still catering to their creativity and physicality. A Cancer is an amazing match for a Taurus, because they will relate to a Taureans need for security and deep, serious relationships. A Cancer is also an empath who is compassionate, so they will appreciate and love a Taurus’ sensitivity and need for emotionality.

Taurus Compatibility Chart

Taurus and Aries Compatibility: An Aries will be annoyed that homebody Taurus likes to relax more than adventure out into the world, and the Taurus will be annoyed that they aren’t in control of the relationship. These two have both different values and different personalities, so it’s hard for them to get too close and feel like they have a real connection.

Taurus and Taurus Compatibility: More than most other signs, Taurus’ values are very important to them. Having someone with the same values (loyalty, consistency, comfort) already starts this relationship off on a good food. These two people know how to take care of each other and they have a super solid foundation knowing how trustworthy the person they love is.

Taurus and Gemini Compatibility: A Taurus prizes loyalty and stability above all else, which feels stifling to any Gemini they date. Similarly, a Taurus finds Gemini’s ways chaotic and unpredictable. These signs stress each other out!

Taurus and Cancer Compatibility: This has the potential to be one of the best matches in the Zodiac. Taurus and Cancer are similar people with complementary values. They will enjoy building a happy home life together, having an extremely loyal and supportive partner, and spoiling each other with physical touch, comforting meals, and endless affection.

Taurus and Leo Compatibility: Jealousy will be a big problem in this relationship, as a Taurus will never be comfortable with Leo’s need for attention. The Taurus will never feel like they are able to relax and the Leo will feel like they are constantly walking on eggshells.

Taurus and Virgo Compatibility: What most people describe as “boring” this couple will describe as “ideal”. They are on the same page about many things in life from finances to where they want to be in 5 years. They will support each other and make each other feel fully confident in the relationship.

Taurus and Libra Compatibility: There’s a lot of potential for jealousy in this relationship, but it can work if the Libra babies the Taurus a big and always makes it known that they are their #1 priority. Initially the Taurus will think the Libra is too flashy, but as soon as they are exposed to their softer side they will be won over. Similarly, the Libra will love the sturdy foundation the Taurus provides.

Taurus and Scorpio Compatibility: This is arguably the worst combination of any two signs. This pair just seems to bring out the absolute worse in each other. Like a tornado coming into each other’s lives and just ruining everything about the other person. There are some people who just shouldn’t be together and this duo is toxic.

Taurus and Sagittarius Compatibility: These signs make great friends as they can appreciate fun and indulgence together, but they don’t often make great couples. People born under Taurus tend to want to settle down while Sagittarians tend to want to drift around. They aren’t naturally suited to complement each other.

Taurus and Capricorn Compatibility: Taurus and Capricorn are natural allies. The both love to indulge in the finer things in life, are ambitious, and like to show off a little bit. They fit together well and can be a very happy “power couple”.

Taurus and Aquarius Compatibility: This is an unlikely pairing of people who see the world very differently. Aquarians wacky ideas can feel exhausting for the Taurus, while the Taurus can feel too boring for the Aquarius.

Taurus and Pisces Compatibility: This is a wonderful match pairing a dreamer (Pisces) with a realist (Taurus). They both prefer a laid back lifestyle and know the other person needs to be supported and loved. They will have one of the happiest home lifes and be a couple with an unshakeable bond.

How To Attract A Taurus

To attract a Taurus, you simply just have to do something thoughtful for them. Pay attention to their needs, emotional and physical, show them that you are also an empath. When a Taurus sees how kind and compassionate you are, they melt, and they often open up and start to reciprocate that kindness. When you prove to them just how thoughtful you are, they trust you more and see you as a suitable mate that will compliment their nurturing side.

How To Know If A Taurus Like You

When a Taurus likes you, they will ask you for your thoughts on a lot of things, and they will engage you in stimulating conversation. They are a nurturer, so if you see them getting protective over you, it is a good sign that they are fond of you and want to keep you safe. They appreciate your small quirky details, and will notice things that others don’t about you. When a Taurus makes fun of you, know that it is good natured, and it is their playful way of showing interest. A Taurus will always compliment the apple of their eye, and can be extremely sweet when they admire someone. It is unfortunate, because they often fear that their sensitivity will lead them to be rejected or hurt. If you notice a Taurus doing any of the above, nurture them back. Make them understand that you too are interested, because they can discourage themselves and end up guarding their advances.

What A Taurus Is Like In A Relationship

In a relationship, a Taurean is very traditional in the sense that they will love going out on dates. However, they are also homebodies, so a lot of your time will be spent cuddling up to them in bed and watching movie marathons with them on the couch. A Taurus will fight to maintain a good relationship, and will put in a lot of effort when it comes to someone they love. A Taurus will make you feel secure and cared for in a relationship, and will always fight to protect your heart and your feelings. However, they can be stubborn, so it is very important to nurture good communication early on, as to ensure the easily hurt bull doesn’t get offended or guarded when you bring up something that disappointed you or made you angry.

Taurus Ideal Date

How Taurus Deals With Heartbreak

However, Taureans have a way of putting up a very deceiving front, and will often keep all of their sad and dark feelings inside of them in order to maintain their nonchalance. Taureans often suffer from heartbreak behind closed doors, and they can feel so intensely that they shut down completely when rejected or mourning the loss of love.
