HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAURUS

Happy Birthday Taurus (April 20th-May21st)

Meet the foundation and the builders of the zodiac. Happy Birthday, sturdy and stubborn Taurus. Taurus is the one everyone comes to lean on. They are the support beams to any group they belong to and this is a good thing because you have here the fixed earth sign of the zodiac. Think solid ground. These Bulls are practical, reliable and no-nonsense. These are down-to-earth believers in the rewards of hard work and manual labor. They carry a matter-of-fact approach to just about everything in life. They are your classic conservatives and traditionalists in society. If it works, they are not excited about changing things. They not only desire stability in their lives, they bring the stability to their surroundings.

In temperament, Taureans are usually calm, cool and collected, almost stoic with a sense of gravitas to their nature. It is only when an element disturbs the stability of their environment, their home life in particular, you would need to holler Toro! When reacting to this disturbing element, Taureans can be quite the bully as they throw their weight around in an uncompromising fashion. They will wield all power which is at their disposal to crush a rebellion with ruthless efficiency all while keeping a cool, Godfather like composure. They have a knack for playing hardball. This is why they are usually the hard nugget representative of the status quo and the old guard. When a female Taurus adopts the sturdy posture of putting her hands on her hips or a male Taurus grabs his belt buckle in State Trooper stance, they are about to enforce the law and let you know what time it is. For this reason, assertiveness is second nature to a Taurus when it comes to keeping law and order.

The ruling planet of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty gives Taurus a peculiar flare for being attractive and very romantic. There are four signs which take glamour to the level of passion and they are Leo, Virgo, Libra and Taurus. Leo is regal and showy. Virgo is the en vogue fashionista of the zodiac. Libra is the unassuming cutie next door, but Taurus is the glamour goddess or pretty boy of the horoscope. The women are usually regarded as gorgeous and timeless beauties. Male bulls are seen as strikingly handsome in a very classical sense. Think of the old Hollywood icons of Marilyn Monroe, Lana Turner, Grace Kelly, Lena Horne and Clark Gable. They place high value upon being good-looking. These are the types that win pageants and are remembered for their beauty. 

In love, Taureans are very romantic, giving, protective and possessive of the objects of affection. As long as their lovers are loyal to them, they would work hard and give anything in the world to keep them comfortable, safe and happy with them. This is why they usually spoil their mates. With romance, you have just met with the King of Hearts or the Queen of Hearts when they come to court you. Anything that involves soft music, flowers and chocolate, being close to you, touching you without external disturbances or stimulation is their idea of a romantic evening. They don’t need much adventure for romance to take place and would prefer to do without it. They like it slow, intimate, soft and sensual just like something out of the classical Harlequin romance novel. And they love it when you call them Big Papa. They are often guilty though in seeking out trophy spouses. They just have a sweet tooth for beauty. With this though, if you are a Taurus, beware of those who will seek to take advantage of your hard working and giving nature. With love, if loyalty is violated with a Taurus, again it is time to cry Toro!

The best match for this sign is Scorpio, because stability, predictability, and loyalty are key traits to them as well. A Taurus will also love a Cancer for their keen domestic talents. Taurus and Capricorn together make an ambitious duo which mutually understands the value of hard work. Taurus and Virgo also make a stable pair with Taurus providing the framework and Virgo adding the finishing touches of perfection. Taurus and Pisces will fall in love initially as they compete for who can out-romance who but it won’t last long because the flightiness of Pisces. Taurus and Libra are both ruled by Venus, making them both appreciators and presenters of romance and beauty. Because of this, Taurus and Libra will enjoy dates but will harshly conflict if Taurus decides to put their foot down on an unfair position. When Taurus goes bully mode, the chastising and whipping winds of Libra will land on them like a scourge.    

While also known for being humble, generous and sweet to their lovers, the negative side of this sign is that they are often accused of being pigheaded, controlling, overbearing, and gluttonous.
