Charming, creative, and grounded: What to know about the Taurus personality
What’s grounded yet fun-loving; indulgent yet reliable; and symbolized by a bull? You guessed it: Taurus.
If you're a Taurus, you can count celebrities like Adele, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Queen Elizabeth II among your kind.
Pioneering fire sign Aries serves as the zodiac’s spark of inspiration, while Taurus, which is next in line, uses their fixed earthy skills to make the dreams reality through their diligent efforts.
Hardworking and artistic by nature, the bull of the zodiac is known for both creativity and indulgence. A lover, not a fighter, it’s not easy to trigger this bull into anger. This is why Taureans are admired for their sweet natures and even-keeled, laid-back temperaments.
But if you do happen to fight with a Taurus, know that they are notoriously stubborn. Resilient and tough, they’re not one to back down. Since Tauruses are change-averse, gird yourself if you’re planning to disrupt their routine (or try waking them up from their warm, cozy bed). They crave comfort and stability.
Here’s what you need to know about Tauruses across different realms of their lives.

Taurus at work
Being a fixed earth sign makes Tauruses hard workers. That said, the Bull is known to work smart, just as much as they’re known to work hard. They’ll put in effort as long as they can see the reward on the other side of the finish line. This gives them the motivation to keep going.
When it comes to career choices, Taurus will be drawn to ventures that allow for independence and expression. Ruled by the planet Venus, which also oversees artisticness and creativity, Tauruses like to feel pride in their work.
While Tauruses have the reputation of being lazy, the adjective is not quite right. Their reputation for laziness comes from their need to decompress and relax. Self-care is a must for this sign, as well as playing hard after hours.
Taurus in love
Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus, the planet of love and affection. Therefore, the bull is an extremely relationship-oriented sign, who feels like they are best able to thrive via friendships and partnerships.
In a romantic partner, Taurus value consistency, stability, and kindness. Loyalty is the most important attribute, as Tauruses will do anything (within reason, of course) for those they care about. The bull is a sign that mates for life. Consider Taurus your “ride or die,” reluctant to leave the side of their loved ones.
