April 22 - May 21 The persistence of Taureans is what gets them where they want to be. Their basic need for security and stability is accomplished by sheer determination. They have tremendous reserves to keep them going when things get tough, and plod along regardless of what life throws at them. Seeing things through to the end, building something worthwhile is the stuff of life to a typical Taurean.
They have an innate sense of values, believing that the best things are worth paying a bit more for. Most Taureans would rather do without than settle for something second-rate. Material security is very important to these people, and they love to surround themselves with objects of luxury. Indeed they have a fine appreciation of all that is aesthetically pleasing as well as artistic ability of their own.
Taureans are well known for their practicality, but being ruled by Venus they also possess a sensuality and love of pleasure. They make faithful and enduring lovers, perhaps slow to demonstrate their feelings at first, but passionate in the extreme once those feelings have been aroused. There is a tendency towards possessiveness, a Taurean is always loathe to give up on anything, even a bad relationship. Perhaps the thing that Taureans fail to realise is that their possessive nature - even subconsciously - is often the cause of a rift.
As Venus also rules matters numismatic, Taureans have a natural ability when it comes to handling money. They are well-suited for a banking or financial career, having the propensity to make money for others as well as themselves. Other occupations where they may find a niche lie in the arts arena. They have a creative flair that can encompass many different forms of art. Dance and music are natural to them, but they can be equally successful perhaps even more so, when creating something like a sculpture or painting. Producing new life from the earth is something that many Taureans excel at, farming or gardening suits the earthier side of their nature. The prime motivation in any Taurean's career though is the stability of the income it produces, they need to know that a pay cheque is a regular and unwavering end product for their efforts. by Cambiel
