Taurus Zodiac • Personality & Characteristics

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)

You are a member of the second sign of the zodiac, and just like the Bull that represents this zodiac sign, people born under the sign of Taurus are often very stubborn and determined. You are a Taurus, which also means that you are loyal, dependable, very sensual, and you crave and enjoy the good things in life. Being a fixed earth sign, Taurus represents an enduring, practical reality.

There are few signs as loyal, reliable and down-to-earth as you, Taurus. You know what you want and are not afraid to go after it. You are patient, determined, practical, and have a strong sense of self-worth.

You're comfortable with the slower pace of life. You enjoy the finer things in life and can be pretty indulgent, and you don't need a lot of excitement or change to feel fulfilled. This can make you seem a bit stubborn at times, but it's just because you know what works for you, and you're not interested in veering off course.

You're also a very sensual sign. You have a strong appreciation for art, music, and good food. You enjoy life's physical comforts and love being surrounded by beautiful things.
