If you were to describe the typical Taurus temperament, you wouldprobably use words such as cautious, practical and purposeful.One word you definitely would not use is impulsive.
When yo uare making important decisions in life, decisions about things that arevital to your security and the welfare of those you love, you spend along time on them. You want those decisions to be rock solid.
Onceyour mind is made up, you have amazing persistence and follow through,plus tons of energy you rarely give up on a task once you have decidedon it. And you will stick to your guns, even if you are being provoked,tempted or ridiculed. This will be a blessing at some times and a curseat others.
Sometimes this ability to hang in there can turninto pride and obstinacy. At other times you refuse to accept anotheropinion or suggestion, even though the advice is reasonable and theperson offering it has nothing but good intentions. What if the personis right?
Those who love you and offer you constructivecriticism do not mean to hurt you, they have your best interests atheart, and what they offer can be useful to you. Try to remember that.
Ifyou look inside yourself, you will see that sometimes the reason you holdon to your position or opinion so fiercely is that you fear change.
Becauseyou take such pride in your ability to see things through to the end,people who try to meddle with what you have set out to do, or changethe rules of the game, are likely to hear from you, loud and clear. Youreally, really want to finish what you start.
Also, peoplewill not have much success if they try to push something onto you andleave you no room to control your destiny. Then the bull in you reallystarts to make itself heard and felt.
On the other side of thecoin, you also like to take it easy. This goes back to liking to leavethings as they are. You may need to keep an eye on this — complacencyand apathy are down the end of that path.
Change is the onlyconstant in life and you may need to remind yourself of this every nowand then, trying to resist all change leads only to stress anddissatisfaction with your life and relationships.
You alsohave a great love affair with the finer things in life. If you couldfind a servant to help with all the boring jobs you hate, you couldlive the luxurious life you dream of!
You are a great mate. Whenyou agree to help someone, you go to any lengths to keep your word.You will never let yourself or others down. You are extremely dependable.
You arealso exceptionally sensitive and very patient. You are prepared to waitas long as it takes for the right moment to act and you seize theopportunity when it wanders anywhere near you. Patience is one of yourgreatest virtues and it usually pays off.
Having honourableintentions, plus your patience and perseverance, are what others see asyour finest and most recognisable character traits.
Yourone-track mind about doing a job right either at work or at home has a good and a bad side. It means you are very focused on what you aredoing, which is good but it also means you drive people crazy byshowing them the "correct way" to do things. Your family may notappreciate lessons in how to clean and stack the dishes or drive thecar!
Actually, simplicity is what appeals to you. You can notstand pompousness and look-at-me behaviour. You know that beauty is notabout what you wear or what hairstyle you have.
You enjoygetting your hands dirty with gardening, practical hobbies and odd jobsaround the home. Hard work does not scare you in the least.
Taurus isa touchy-feely sign, which means you rely on your feelings rather thanyour mind when you try to understand your experiences.
Youtrust your own intuition about others and you are usually right.However, you have terrific reasoning skills as well, so do not dismissyour sensible nature, balancing these two sides of yourself willincrease your success in life.
