The Zodiac Sign, Taurus: Sun, Moon, and Rising

Who Is Taurus?

Taurus is known for being stubborn, determined, and focused. The bull doesn’t like being told what to do and if you attempt to do so, it will either ignore you or perhaps agree with you, so that you’ll leave it to its original plan. If you try to force it, you will get the horns.

When it comes to learning lessons, the bull may make the same mistakes multiple times first, while wondering why nothing has changed. It works hard and long hours, but only on what it wants to. And It doesn’t change its mind, not even when you’ve proven to it why it should. If you’re up for a cuddle session, however, bring some snacks, and it will momentarily be your best friend.

You may think that Taurus is a masculine sign, but it’s actually feminine. What softens Taurus is that the constellation is ruled by the planet Venus. The lovely planet Venus symbolizes the pleasures of the senses, romance, beauty, aesthetics, comfort, luxury, and art. A person who has a chart ruled by Venus would likely be physically beautiful and in possession of some very special skills in architecture, decor, and sensuality!

According to some Astrologers, Taurus is the most sensual sign! While Libra is also ruled by Venus, Libra is an air sign and is a symbol of balance and harmony. This means that Libra is more focused on relationships and creating unions. Taurus, however, is an Earth sign. Earth is a symbol of the material world, making Taurus a master of the senses, where they enjoy indulgence. An underside to this is that they may also have a tendency toward hedonism.

A Taurus sun sign loves to enjoy their relaxation time, but that doesn’t mean they’re spoiled. In fact, bulls know best that those sweet moments come after hard work! They realize, however, that to look good, they must be healthy, which involves plenty of beauty sleep. If they do experience a type of setback in their health, finances, etc., they are incredibly resilient.

Anything with horns will always respect themselves enough to stand on their own two feet and fight any adversity that crosses their path. When a Taurus comes off as vain, they’re likely feeling insecure. Otherwise, Taurus possesses rather quiet confidence.

If the environment isn’t mellow, Taurus will use their senses to create more zen energy within the space, which is fulfilling for them because they deeply desire comfort. They will not lose focus until the job is done. Although they enjoy a great variety of things, they’re still highly selective.

A Taurus person isn’t particularly judgmental unless, of course, your choices aren’t up to their standards. It’s generally true that they have expensive taste. On the other hand, this is an incredibly simple, straightforward, and laid-back sign to have in your company.

Taurus can’t stand having to readjust their schedules, and they will likely not work on anyone else’s time. If they must, it’ll be at a slow pace. They like to enjoy what they’re doing. Conversely, if they feel pressured to do what they don’t enjoy, they’ll rush through it quite carelessly.

Taurus is sometimes painstakingly stubborn and extremely attached to their things; including their partner, their pets, and their home. They only take on loyal and dedicated partners, but is slow to start and takes a long time to build trust. Once they’ve made up their mind, they’re fully committed to their choices.

Likewise, if Taurus has a partner that messes things up, if they said they were done, they really meant it. There’s no going back for a Taurus. No matter how forgiving they’ve always been, it’s highly unlikely they’ll change their mind.

This bull-headed moon sign spends the majority of its time building immovable foundations. They are pleasure-seekers and sometimes prefer avoiding problems and acting quite passively. This placement rarely acknowledges that this leads to consequences.

Although they are easy to be around most of the time, their emotions, insecurities, fears, etc. remain internal. When they’re worried about something, Taurus Moon suddenly looks too closely into small details to protect themselves. This is when they give the horns.

No matter the circumstances of life, Taurus Moon will do everything with their own deliberate style. This mainly comes from their natural instinct to form resources everywhere they go with their agreeable and charming attitudes. Their determination may sometimes leave them disappointed when their expectations aren’t met.

As they narrow their minds and discern the next best move, depression could lead to neglecting responsibilities and/or overindulging as a temporary, quick fix. It is not uncommon for Taurus Moon to create occasional dependencies during such times. However, they rarely acquire uncontrollable addictions because they are also body-conscious and want to look their best.

They sometimes have a habit of fixating on one person or thing and may become completely inflexible once they have set their mind on them. When they find a lover they’d like to commit to, they will shower them with frequent affection and always make sure to have a romantic atmosphere in the bedroom. They are so loving that the intensity appears to be an art form.

A negative to Taurus Moon is that they’re often an extremely possessive lover. They expect loyalty and trustworthiness at an extreme. Any indication of a lack of it can quickly cause them to retreat and create distance, while they may struggle to express their concerns directly.

Taurus Rising gives the vibe of steadiness and reliability. Their unconscious life objective is to achieve personal independence while gaining success from their creative pursuits. This mindset pushes them toward an extreme level of endurance. Although they’re seemingly patient, if they suddenly decide they’re failing and assume that things won’t work out in their favor, they turn sullen, pessimistic, and adopt an “FTW” attitude.

These people are anything but a pushover. In fact, they find it overwhelmingly difficult to not have complete control of all situations. They can, however, maintain their composure for long periods of time, as they’ve mastered their poker face. Secretly, they’re the ones quietly pulling the strings without anyone even noticing, in most cases.

Always preferring that things run smoothly, they dislike drama and don’t want to be involved in a scene that could hurt their reputation or hinder their goals. Unsurprisingly, they frequently have a career in the business of art, music, or some type of aesthetics. Oftentimes, they have beautiful singing voices.

Individuals with this placement are resourceful, and their mission is to also develop good relations with others. However, they spend their lives practicing not giving in to every tempting desire. They are not above taking huge risks if it means they will be rewarded in the end.

Having many back-to-back relationships earlier in life, it’s evident that Taurus often feels like they need a partner for them to feel secure and fulfilled. If something seems to be going south in the one they’re in, they may subconsciously allow their eye to wonder. Usually, they have a hard time ending things because they dislike change, but if they’re fully committed and happy, they’re extremely loyal people.
