Taurus

What Taurus tends to be like

Taurus loves what it has. The same chair, the same friends, the same walk in the evening: Taurus keeps them close, looks after them and rarely lets them go. Taurus moves at its own pace and does not like to be rushed. From the outside that can look like stubbornness. From the inside it feels like steadiness, and most of the time it is. Taurus trusts what can be touched, tasted and counted, and distrusts a promise with nothing behind it. On a good day Taurus is the friend whose house you can turn up at unannounced and the colleague whose work is simply done. On a harder day Taurus digs in where it should bend, or mistakes comfort for happiness. A good day for Taurus is one where something real was made or kept.

In love

Taurus loves with its hands: the meal, the fixed shelf, the warm room. Taurus needs reliability more than drama and touch more than talk, and stays long after others would have gone.

At work

Give Taurus a craft and leave it alone. Taurus is at its best in steady, properly paid work that shows a result, in a place that does not reorganise itself every spring.

Creativity

Taurus makes beautiful things you can use. Taurus would rather work with its hands than with ideas, finishes what it starts and cares about how the finished thing feels in the hand.

With family

At home Taurus is the table everyone comes back to. Taurus looks after everyone, remembers birthdays and grudges with the same care, and needs its own corner kept exactly as it was left.
