    If you’re looking for stability, security, loyalty and a solid foundation on which to build a relationship, Taurus is the ticket. Taurus is an earth sign, which means you’ll find this bull grazing at home just chillin’, on a farm or any place where there is a close tie with nature. They love the great outdoors and seem to be tranquilized and revived during long walks in the park on bright, crisp autumn days or on a picnic, with all of their favorite books and the bright blue sky as a backdrop. Although the term “homebody” aptly applies to Taurus’, they enjoy church activities and sporting events. You might even find them at happy hour or meeting coworkers after work at a bar to support another coworker-musician who’s playing his first gig. The Taurean man won’t be the loudmouth roustabout, swilling beer and trading war stories; he’ll be the one checking out the scene, flirting subtly, making eye contact and sending over drinks anonymously. People born under the sign of Taurus are down to earth and practical; rarely do they act on impulse. The ruling planet is Venus, which is associated with acquisitiveness and the power to love. Most Taureans are collectors.


    Taurus people revere a good and stable home life and are prone to long, long relationships. Even if the relationship has long gone sour, Taurus people have a tendency to stick and stay, though this may not always be the best move.


    Taurus people are fiercely loyal to family and friends. That loyalty also extends to the workplace, and what you tell them won’t become the office gossip, even if the boss is having an affair with two women.


    You’ll usually find Taurus people at home in their peaceful, yet semi-luxurious surroundings. They are sometimes collectors of fine things and can easily assess quality. They love jewelry (preferably diamonds) and fine furnishings that give them a sense of the security that they are forever seeking. The song “Money, Money, Money,” by the O’Jays had to have been written with a Taurus in mind. Money means a great deal to the Taurean, who will save and manage even the smallest amounts of paychecks with an expertise unmatched by most. Taurus will hold on to a dollar until it hollers. They have an affinity for saving money, and therefore, they won’t jeopardize their jobs for any reason. The sensible and practical nature of allow them to make rash decisions or take on radical causes. They will not be among the nature group that decides to walk across the continent of Africa. Their initial reaction would be, “Are you crazy?” Although they don’t mind getting down and dirty, planting a garden, hiking or camping, their practical nature would question all the details of such a trek across the motherland: Will there be snakes, wild animals and bottled water? They can adapt to most situations without much effort. As parents, Taurus people can be overprotective. Their children are their prized possessions; therefore, they want to shield their children from what they perceive as hurt, harm and danger. Their children often see such behavior as smothering and most of the time rebel.


    The Taurean has a scorching temper, but only when provoked. He usually minds his own business until someone waves a red flag in front of him, and then he charges without and warning. For example, don’t buy a new car if you haven’t paid the Taurean the money (there’s that word again) you owe him. You’ll be soon introduced to a person you never thought existed. He may even show up at your job on payday demanding his money and refuse to leave until you comply. And if all else fails, he’ll kick your butt right there. But beneath the surface of the raging bull is a gentle, sentimental and caring lamb. Although they hoard money, Taureans are generous to family and friends in need. They are a sucker for a sob story and will rescue friends and family at a moment’s notice. Taurus people are the mainstays of the zodiac. Whatever their disposition was when you met them, it won’t change over the subsequent months or the long haul.


    THE TAURUS MAN


    This brother is one of the most laid-back signs of the zodiac. You won’t find him out front, bragging about his job, his women or his fine car or clothes. He doesn’t have to because he’s a very secure person. He’s a quiet, unassuming bull with a power that speaks louder than words. This brother can also be rather shy and somewhat reserved. He’s more of a behind-the-scenes kind of brother, working or playing slowly, methodically and carefully as he plods through life. Remember, ladies, Taurus is the bull, and it only takes one bull to service an entire cow pasture. Not that he’s a lover boy or ladies’ man, but he could compete against the best when it comes to physical prowess.


    Taurean males are the epitome of manliness. There’s something about being around this brother that automatically makes a woman feel secure. Other women feel it too. So if you’re married to one or considering a relationship with a Taurean, you’re going to have to share him with the rest of the world. It’s almost as if this broad-shouldered person has imaginary arms that provide a cocoon of security. And that cocoon is what most women want, that take-charge kind of guy, that brother who lets you lay all your troubles on his broad, broad shoulders. This bull usually had more female friends than male. He’s the one the sisters call on for advice about their love relationships. A sister might ask her Taurean friend about the feasibility of dating a man who makes less than she–would it make a difference? The Taurus brother will give it to you straight and more than likely tell you it will.


    His appearance won’t include the Armani suit, a Countess Mara tie, Perry Ellis shirt or Italian shoes. It may be clothes by Wal-Mart. At first glance, you may be turned off because of his clothing; the outfit may not be polyester, but it may be its first cousin. He will be well-groomed, but he won’t be dressed to the nines. So what do you want, a man who spends all his money on clothes or a man who has money to spend on you? Any woman with the Taurus man is going first-class. He may hedge when it comes to outfitting himself, but his companion will be treated like royalty. The money he’s saving by not buying the most expensive clothes will go toward the nest egg that he will share with his mate someday. He’s a builder, not only figuratively, but literally. But like his personality, which is even-tempered and calculating (with dollar signs dancing in his head), he will build the relationship and the future in a slow, systematic manner.


    Remember, he’s an earthy, meat-and-potatoes kind of man–no caviar for this earth sign. He doesn’t like frills, fluff and fanfare, and he feels the same way about his women. He doesn’t go in for the “fortress hair” look or the hair that has so much gel in it that it won’t move, even in a tornado. For the Taurus brother, extremes throws him off. When a sister is transformed from a black Rapunzel to the Tracy Chapman look after one week of courtship, the brother is put off. Taureans are not hung up on hair. In fact, it makes no difference to them if the hair is long or short. It’s the deception they take issue with. Braids are okay–but they need not extend past the waistline. Besides, he doesn’t want a stranglehold during sex. As a husband, the Taurus brother is devoted and generous to his spouse. He will but her lavish gifts and furnish the house as his wife sees fit. One note here: wives, you won’t be able to decorate the bedroom in pink and green, red and white, blue and white or any other sorority colors. That’s where the Taurus draws the line. The only other requirement for the Taurus is that he must be in charge of the checkbook so he can curtail sporadic and needless spending. How else would you be the recipient of those lovely gifts?


    LOVE CONNECTION


    Taurus people move at a snail’s pace when it comes to love relationships. Cupid’s arrow doesn’t score many direct hits with the bull. But Taureans are worth the wait. Like most everything they attempt, they have to think about it first. Most Taureans find it hard to show their feelings openly. They will shower you with gifts, but the words “I love you” or “You mean the world to me” may never roll off their tongues. It’s not that they are trying to be cool. It’s as though they’re anticipating rejection and they don’t want to get their faces cracked. When a Taurean finally falls in love, he takes off in hot pursuit of his potential companion most of the time with an insatiable desire to absorb all there is to know about the person. The love-struck bull is giddy and he will have you in stitches as he cracks one joke after another. He is also like an octopus with toughy-feely tentacles to a fault. A Taurus man would be a fine catch for anyone. However, Taureans are stubborn! And I do mean stubborn! You will need a crowbar to get this person to move. They see no reason why they must change or alter their thinking about a particular subject. Their motto is, If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Like breathing and eating, sex is an essential part of everyday life for the Taurus and a recreation that they enjoy. But they want the tried-and-true approach to sex, with very few surprises.


    If you want the fireworks to start immediately, the throat and neck areas are the erogenous zones for Taureans. Any touches, strokes or kisses to those areas will make these bulls stand up on their hind legs. And speaking of sex, well, since the bull doesn’t talk much, let’s just say that he’s more of a doer than a talker. Most Taureans won’t rest until they feel that the woman is completely satisfied. For the Taurean, if the sex act isn’t “complete,” they take it personally. Most of the time, it isn’t anything that has to do with the Taurean’s lack of knowledge, but more fatigue, mental stress and distractions on the part of his companion. Don’t worry, Mr. Taurus, the general consensus is that you’re doing the job! And “very, very well,” says one woman who was dating a Taurean, adding, “Ladies, make sure you get plenty of rest and that you’re feeling up to it.”


    As for the Taurean brother, affairs of the heat won’t blossom too quickly because he’s stubborn and he’s not moving until he gets ready–be it toward you or otherwise. Which brings us to the relationship. By the time this man makes a commitment to a marriage or a courtship, you may be out grazing in what you perceive as a greener pasture. But the real field is with the Taurean. He won’t make impulsive decisions or offer false hopes and promises that he won’t be able to keep. This bull is a man of his word! Taurus, an earth sign, is most compatible with the other two earth signs, Virgo and Capricorn, because their personalities generally compliment each other. Earth signs are practical, careful and down to earth. Taurus people are also compatible with Cancer and Pisces, the two water signs. Water signs who are emotional and intuitive can provide a nice balance for the serious-minded, practical personality of Taurus. The third water sign, Scorpio, is the opposite sign of Taurus. There is always a strong magnetic attraction between opposites, and the Taurus-Scorpio combination is explosive at best. These two are so passionate together, it’s scary. Generally, people born under opposite signs can’t seem to get it together other than in the bedroom. These two will argue continuously over major and minor matters–and there won’t be much room for compromise.
