Taurus

Taurus is a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus. The combination produces someone who values stability, sensual pleasure, and the slow accumulation of comfort. Taurus energy is patient — Taurus people don't rush, don't make decisions under pressure, and don't appreciate being hurried. Once a Taurus has committed to something, getting them to change course requires a substantial effort, which is both the gift (reliability, follow-through) and the cost (stubbornness, resistance to needed change). People with strong Taurus placements tend to have well-developed senses of taste, an appreciation for craft, and a deep relationship with the body — food, touch, the physical world. The sign runs roughly April 20 to May 20 and rules the throat and neck in body astrology.
