Summary:-
Pure Taureans tend to be earthy- 'slow but sure'. Their ' bullishness' can under extreme pressure be expressed in violent outbursts of range , but more usually they are like oxen, plodding forwards steadily, strongly and surely. Taurus is an 'earthly' sign of the zodiac and material things are of ma it importance to the typical Taurus. He or she is no ascetic, dining on bread and water, but revels in all-the appetites, loving the pleasures of the table, physical contacts with the opposite sex, comforts and luxuries of every kind. Material possessions are of great importance to the Taurus All this may sound unattractive, and so it would be if that was all their was to the Taurus But with the strong physical appetites goes a genius nature, an astonishing capacity for hard and painstaking effort, and rather unexpectedly, a tendency to generate brilliantly imaginative ideas. It is probably this last characteristic, allied with a 'stubbornness' that refuses to admit defeat, which has resulted in some strongly Taurus personalities, such as Ulysses S. Grant, becoming outstanding soldiers.

Characteristically Taurus men and women have included Catherine the Great, Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, Greta Garbo, Bing Crosby, Orson Well as and Barbra Streisand.

Sexuality and the Emotions:-
Taurus value their possessions, and as far as they are concerned their partners are the most valued possession of all. Consequently, an emotional characteristic of many Taurus is a tendency to jealousy: a rival is not just a rival, but a thief who is trying to steal the Taurus rightful property. Taurus jealousy is often nursed for a long time before it is outwardly expressed. Anger shoulders away for weeks or months, even years, until it flames up into a rage which transforms the placid Taurus ox into a mad bull or - just as frightening - a mad heifer. The positive side of Taurus sexual possessiveness finds expression in a caring attitude towards partners. The husband or wife of the Taurus is cared for with devoted constancy. In spite of this, Taurus are capable of outbursts of intense physical passion which can be almost as alarming as their rages.

General Character:-
'Phlegmatic' was a word often applied to the Taurus by the astrologers of old, and it is true that a stolid practicality, a certain earthiness, is the most notable trait of the pure Taurus But this earthiness is a fertile field on the slopes of a volcano rather than a placid meadow. Taurus children, hard-wording at school and usually biddable' at home, are capable of rare outbursts of rage usually jealous rage - which are even more alarming than the tantrums of the Arian child because they are so totally unexpected and, so it seems, 'out of charades. In adulthood the Taurus goals are security, comfort and lack of anxiety. The Taurus hates to be worried; he/she will cope with almost anything except anxiety about the unexpected and the nexplicable. When anxiety is inflicted on Taurean by the surrounding environment or those who live in it, their tendency is to 'move away - in both the literal and the metaphorical senses. This, in fact, is almost the only circumstance in which a Taurean will voluntarily move; usually they wish to stick with what they know well, even if doing so makes others regard them as dull and boring. Taureans patience, their determination, their quiet affection and there occasional flashes of inspiration more than make up for their occasional outbursts of rage, their possessiveness and their tendency to be a little dull. They are pleasant people to know as acquaintances or close friends.

Life-Style:-
The Taurean does best in a career environment in which he or she can feel secure. A plodding job in which one can slowly advance towards (if not quite to) the very top, with a guaranteed, inflation-proof pension, is the ideal. The worst job for a Taurean is one in which he or she is unsure what money, if any, will be coming in at the end of the month. So Taureans rarely find satisfaction in, for example, freelance journalism or selling insurance on a commission-only basis. On the other hand, they are extremely good at accountancy and other jobs involving money, provided that no risk-taking is involved. They are good at almost all jobs which involve a patient application to practical matters and make, for example, excellent farmers. With all this practicality there is a streak of imaginative artistry in many Taureans and they are often interested in music, painting and sculpture. Sometimes this Venusians element in the Taurean personality is dominant and a surprisingly large number of sculptors, singers and other artists are Taureans or have Taurean ascendants. But the Taurean artist is usually a prosperous artist, not the sort of talented individual who would be happy to starve in a garret so long as he or she is practicing their art.
