20 Taurus Traits
The zodiac sign of Taurus, which falls between April 20 – May 20, is well known as being loving, kind, materialistic and somewhat stubborn.
But there is a lot more to Taurus than simply digging their heels in and eating, so let’s dive on in and find out 20 traits of Taurus that make them truly unique.
1. They are stable.
Taureans like to build structures that stand the test of time.
With Taurus on your team, you can establish and maintain true security and create solid foundations from which to operate. With their practical skills and caring, down to earth nature, they will always make sure everyone has clean socks in the morning.
2. They are loving.
Taureans are not particularly mushy, gushy or overly sentimental but they do show they care through their loyalty, permanence and steadfast support. Their love is constant.
Taurus natives have strong empathy, integrity, and loyalty in relationships. They are steadfast, reliable and dependable. They are picky and give their heart slowly, but if they do pick you, they will stick around.
3. They can be stubborn.
Taureans know their own mind. They take a long time to reach conclusions and once there, they stay committed to their stance. They are independent, deep thinkers, and they are a strange mix of gentle and fierce. They don’t much like being prodded at to make decisions.
4. They are solid and dependable.
Taureans are easy going, calm and mostly unflappable. They don’t usually tend to get worked up about little things and they shy away from drama and nonsense.
They do have a certain cut off point though so don’t get too complacent or wave any red rags at them because that bull might charge right at you.
5. They don’t like change.
Taurus can be resistant to change and they may need some gentle encouragement to take risks, experiment or dabble with the unfamiliar.
6. They like their creature comforts.
Taurus love to surround themselves with cozy furnishings, tantalizing textures and snuggly surroundings. Their home will be comfortable, opulent and grand.
7. They are at one with nature.
As earth signs, they love to be outdoors, growing food and recharging their senses though the natural world. They have a strong affinity with things like dirt, plants, trees, gardens, caves and mountains. They love simple pleasures like the feel of warm, wet sand beneath their feet or the smell of a summer breeze blowing across the meadow with the birds chirping in the background.
8. They are persistent.
Taurus isn’t fond of the idea of giving up things they want so they usually tend to be quite tenacious, determined and fixated. They know what they like and can become set on a particular course of action, knocking over everything in their path, just like the proverbial bull in a china shop. Taurus might have a hard time getting going sometimes, but once they do, nothing can stop them and they will persevere with unfailing commitment and tenacity.
9. Taurus has got it going on.
They look good, smell good, heck they probably even taste good if you wanted to take a bite, and who wouldn’t! Ruled by sensual Venus, they take good care of themselves, their possessions, their homes, their clothes and also the people they care about.
10. Did someone say ‘lazy’?
With action planet Mars in detriment here, Taureans might sometimes need to recoup their vital energy. They might also need a more active sign to get them up and moving again because they get so comfortable and perhaps complacent languishing in their considerable comfort and security. They need companions that will help shake them up and move them out of their comfort zone.
11. They can be greedy.
They usually love stuff, shopping and consuming in one form or another. They love pleasure and indulgence and will be happy to indulge you too. Everybody wins!
12. They can be materialistic.
They. Love. Money. In the bank, the building society, the savings account, under the mattress, in their wallet and in their many investments. Money is the key to the physical pleasure and lifestyle they want.
13. They love luxury and abundance.
Don’t buy your Taurus anything cheap, flimsy or tasteless as a gift as they likely won’t appreciate it. They prefer quality, luxury and classic, timeless pieces that have genuine value. They are unlikely to purchase counterfeit items, at least not knowingly, and they don’t mind paying a bit more for the top brand or best quality.
14. They are law-abiding.
They are peace-loving, conservative and respectful. They have stability in their lives like a job, home and nice possessions. They don’t make risky moves and their focus is on creating a peaceful, abundant life.

17. They are romantic.
They make a great partner because they adore physical contact and connection. They love to give and receive in relationships and they look good on your arm.

They love to stockpile. Need a battery, some fuses or a candle? Taurus will have plenty in stock. In fact, you might not be able to enter their home because they might even be a hoarder and you might be unable to get in the front door. Even if they don’t flat out hoard, they will likely have a collection or two going on. They also love natural things like rocks, crystals and gemstones.
