Taurus

Taurus is the second sign, a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus. It embodies stability, patience, and a deep appreciation for the physical world -- good food, beautiful environments, and the security of tangible resources. Taurus moves slowly and deliberately, building lasting foundations through consistent effort. At its best, Taurus offers unwavering loyalty, artistic sensibility, and remarkable endurance. Its shadow side can manifest as stubbornness, possessiveness, and resistance to necessary change.
