Taurus Zodiac Sign: Personality, Love, Career & Compatibility

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) is the second sign of the zodiac — a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus. Steady, sensual and deeply loyal, Taurus is the rock of the zodiac.

Taurus personality

Taureans value stability, comfort and the good things in life. Ruled by Venus, they love beauty, food, nature and physical pleasure — and they build their lives patiently, one solid step at a time. Once a Taurus commits, they rarely waver.

Strengths: reliable, patient, loyal, practical and devoted.

Weaknesses: stubborn, resistant to change, possessive and comfort-clinging. Their steadiness can harden into inflexibility.

Taurus in love

In love, Taurus is warm, sensual and utterly loyal. They show love through consistency, physical affection and providing comfort. They move slowly but for keeps — and they crave security and trust above all. Rushing or unpredictability unsettles them.

Taurus career

Taureans excel where patience and reliability pay off: finance, real estate, food, design, agriculture and any craft built over time. They finish what they start.

Taurus compatibility

Taurus bonds most easily with fellow earth signs (Virgo, Capricorn) and gentle water signs (Cancer, Pisces). See the full ranking of which signs match Taurus best, or test a pair on our compatibility tool.
