Five Reasons We Love Taurus, the Bull of the Zodiac

It’s Taurus season! That means Spring has sprung, the earth is verdant and green, and the collective energy is one of slowing down, catching our breath, and formulating a plan to move forward. The last four weeks have felt like total chaos. (To be fair, Aries season often is, but 2020’s been something else so far.) With Taurus moving in, it’s time to take that chaos, shift it into perspective, and buckle down to the business of working our way through these uncertain times.

But that’s not to say Taurus energy is no-nonsense all the time. That’s actually a common misconception of those born under the sign of the bull. So today I thought we could run down some things that make Taurus one of the most amazing, surprising, lovable signs of the zodiac. For instance…

They Live Through All Five Senses

A child of Venus, goddess of love and beauty, Taurus is a lover of earthly delights. Hedonism is their birthright. They’re passionate about their food, and can be damn fine cooks. They’re masters of self-care and the cozy night in, and their homes are filled with luxurious creature comforts.

They love the feel of the sun on their shoulders, wind in their hair, and soft grass on their bare feet. And physical intimacy is of the utmost importance in a romantic relationship. Like, it’s a non-negotiable. They are sensuality personified.

They’re Fiercely Loyal and Protective

As one of the four fixed signs of the zodiac, Taurus has a well-known reputation for being stubborn. But that doesn’t just mean they’re walking around looking for reasons to be obstinate. The fact is, they know what they want, what they love, and what is most important to them.

If you fall into one of those three categories, you know that Taurus is the ride-or-die you want on your side. They’re cool under pressure, they’re persistent, and they have epic resilience. And no one messes with their family.

They Have a Love Affair With Beauty

Again, because of that Venus influence, Taurus curates beautiful surroundings wherever they go. They’re drawn to the finer things in life, shamelessly and unabashedly. But they don’t spend money for how it makes them look.

They’re completely secure in who they are and could not care less what you think of them. They just know the value of things and are unwilling to settle for less. Fine art, fine dining, amazing music, and top-notch entertainment are important to their way of life.

They’re Creative and Generous

Taurus doesn’t just appreciate the artistic endeavors of others—they’re highly creative and expressive in their own right. They often excel in art, music, or writing. They also love to show their affection in creative ways.

Having a Taurus friend or lover means having someone who wants to spoil you. They have a knack for finding, or making, the most perfect gifts for their loved ones. They are also famously good hostesses and party planners, and know how to curate a comfy but luxurious dinner party like no other.

They’re Sensitive and Genuine

Just because Taurus is a bull, it doesn’t mean they’re always raging. Think more Ferdinand, less Pamplona. Underneath that stubborn, tough exterior is a super sensitive and hopeless romantic. They’ll stand their ground when they need to, and make no mistake, they aren’t going to just let you win an argument if they know they’re right.

But their natural vibe is calm and soft. Their friends and family mean the world to them, and they’re incredibly genuine and comfortable to be around.
