Taurus is the earth sign ruled by Venus, symbolized by the bull, spanning April 20 – May 20. Earth signs of the fixed quality, like Taurus, are known for being steady, sensual and loyal to a fault.
Strengths: reliability, patience, an eye for comfort and beauty.
Watch out for: stubbornness, possessiveness, mistaking routine for safety.
As a fixed earth sign, Taurus expresses the element in a distinct way; no two earth signs are alike, and your moon and ascendant shade the picture further.
Taurus loves slowly and thoroughly. Touch, food, consistency: love is physical and proven over time. Betray a Taurus once and the door closes for good.
Builders of lasting things: finance, craftsmanship, food, real estate, anything where quality beats speed. They thrive where results compound.
Natural matches: Virgo and Capricorn share the earth; Scorpio is the intense opposite that fascinates.
Growth pairings: Leo and Aquarius pull at the routine Taurus protects. Difficult is not doomed: in synastry, an astrologer compares two full charts, and 'incompatible' sun signs are often carried by strong moon or Venus connections.
Taurus runs April 20 – May 20. On boundary days the exact year and birth time decide; an astrologer can confirm it from your birth data.
Classically: Virgo and Capricorn share the earth. But real compatibility is read from two complete birth charts, not sun signs alone.
