Tauruses are the human equivalent of moss. A handmade wooden chair. They are normally satisfied with the way things are. They embody stability. Sitting in a patch of grass admiring the breeze. When everything else seems to be falling apart, Tauruses are a rock of dependability in an oasis of calm. Practical knowledge and experience is their modus operandi.

Tauruses are oriented around the physical world. They tend to be grounded and logical. They love routine and they’re committed to their own comfort. They like to be in control. They’re patient and steady, and their materialism is an extension of their pursuit of stability.

Once they get into a groove, it’s difficult for them to get out of it. Object in motion stays in motion. Object at rest stays at rest. Appreciative of beauty. Attuned to physical pleasure. They like things to be predictable. They are perfectly happy eating the same meal over and over, or wearing the same outfit for a week straight. They would prefer things be consistent than chaotically good. They like to discover what they have the most fun doing, and then do it to the extreme.

Tauruses have a regal quality about them. They are graceful and diligent laborers. They can be stubborn, bull-headed, and set in their ways, but they are also great listeners and very dependable.

Tauruses can absolutely go on forever. They are tireless machines. And no matter what someone throws at them, they will inevitably overcome their obstacles because they’ve already prepared for every contingency. They are the hand-built truck that will never break down.

Some of Tauruses' bad traits have to do with their materialistic tendencies. Sometimes they are overly determined to achieve material success. They are not immune to greed. They can be apathetic to the needs of others if they are motivated to achieve their own goals.

Tauruses don’t respond to criticism. Not even that they negatively react to it, but it’s almost like they are made of cement, and any feedback just bounces right off. They don’t budge.

Tauruses are stubborn. They’re not going to do something they don’t want to do. They’re slow to change their minds because change threatens their sense of stability. They can become so set in their routine that they get too comfortable and lose sight of what really matters. Tauruses can become emotionally and physically lazy.

They can become stubborn and obstinate, and have a hard time listening to other people. They can be like a bull–stuck in the mud, and unable to see the bigger picture. Tauruses are slow to act, and may be too caught up in the moment to see the potential for something bigger. They can also be reckless, especially when they are young. They can struggle with over-indulgence in vices because they don’t know moderation. Once they decide they like something, they go all in.

Taurus don’t have temper tantrums, but they are constantly on a low simmer. When they do boil over, they make a lot of noise and can leave destruction in their wake. Tauruses have a tendency to let all of their anger, resentment, and bitterness fester and periodically explode into devastating outbursts. A Taurus’ temper is as good as their mood. When they’re in a good mood they will deal with most situations with a measure of patience and calm that can be surprising to people who don’t know them well. But when they’re in a bad mood, they will be a little bit snarly. They have a low tolerance for passive aggression. If someone is wasting their time, they aren't afraid to tell them.

Tauruses are friends with everyone. They’re actually not very selective about who they make friends with. If someone is nice to them, that person becomes their friend. They have a tendency to come together with people who share their interests and temperaments. Tauruses don’t necessarily form cliques, but they have an innate understanding of who they’ll be compatible with. If they’re not sure about a new person, they’ll take the time and space to figure out if that person is worthy of their time. Tauruses are very slow to judge.
