MAIN Horoscopes & Astrology Taurus

Taurus, the second sign of the zodiac, is one of the more practical personalities and, like their symbol the bull, those born under this sign are markedly plodding and methodical.

However, much like Capricorns, one should never underestimate the power they possess in planning a tenacious, step-by-step approach to ultimate success.

Taureans are not flashy or fiery, but possess an uncommonly observant nature, backed by a steely reserve and remarkable powers of will. You can rely on the determined Taurus to always get want they want, if not today then in due time.

Generally, they are the very model of cool and even-temperedness, but those who tangle with the ill-tempered Bull usually live to regret it, especially if a Taurean perceives that their security or homes are under imminent threat.

Securing their most basic needs for themselves and their loved ones, Taurus people are basically lovers of creature comforts and are often surrounded by them. Their tastes often run to the traditional, and they do not venture to seek out new ways of doing things, but generally rely on the tried-and-true.

In their careers, Taureans are most attracted to detailed analysis and typically make successful bookkeepers, accountants and bankers or, in the arts, crafts people and artisans who excel at intricate motifs & designs.

As the sign rules the throat, Taurus people may exhibit unusual or charismatic speaking and singing voices. Adversely, illnesses suffered usually center around the neck resulting in pain or muscle stiffness in that area, frequent sore throats, or chronic thyroid conditions.

Taurus gift ideas - Acquiring the finest in creature comforts is the driving force behind the Taurus personality, so shopping for them is usually fun and easy. Just look for a down comforter, a soft cashmere sweater, a fine bottle of wine, box of chocolates, or a gourmet gift basket, all of which are sure to please most Taureans.

Those born under this sign also tend to have a natural singing ability, or else music is high is on the list of their favorite pastimes, so a CD collection of their favorite singer or music artist will also be much appreciated. Taurus birthstone: emerald. Color: green.
