If there was a homebody of the zodiac, it would be Taurus. Stable, dependable, and grounded, this sign is just as stoic as the Bull that symbolises it. But what about the nuances that lie beneath these stereotypes? If you're looking to unearth the parts of a Taurus that don't come to the fore so easily, resident astrologer Jules Ferarri has you covered. She's decoding the personality of a Taurus, below.
Taurus personality traits, explained
The mythology of the Goddess Venus, your ruling planet, points to the archetypal journey of you sign. She rose from the sea, fully formed, free of conditioning (though certainly of a unique origin story), whole and complete and resonating as her pure self. Your journey is naturally multifaceted but a large part of it is in finding security within your own worth and value and resonating that out into your world.
As the Earth version of Venus, you interact with reality through your heightened and well-developed senses and have a strong and tactile relationship to the beauty found in the material world.
It is important for you to observe your relationship with how you secure yourself and find safety. Does it come from a place of abundance and security or scarcity and control? You may be inclined towards situations where you know what the outcome will be, you may want to know what the next twenty years holds for you and yet, as you will have experienced, the more you try to control and hold on, the bigger the lessons may be around having to let go.
Taurus enjoys what is familiar and can tether itself to its comfort zone and yet so much of your learning comes through pushing at the edges of that comfort zone, learning to trust in yourself that you can step into the unknown, and have your own back.
What is your relationship to the material world? As your sign can secure itself through the material it is worth noting your relationship here. Do you hoard? Do you buy yourself presents and binge when you feel down or unsafe? What healthy rituals do you have in place to ground you? Again, as the Earth version of Venus, these rituals may have a lot to do with beauty. Taurus rituals can be Cleopatra-scale. Your sign innately knows the best of the best. Be that food, sex, scents, materials, artistry.
It's worth noting what turns you on in life and what turns you on to life? You are a rosebud, unfurling in the Sun, beautiful, languid, sensuous. What opens you to life and how do you live it? How do you express life? Your sign is rich in the art of living, how do you curate your world?
HEALING BALM
Look to the higher expressions of your opposing sign, Scorpio, as there are keys here for you. Scorpio explores its shadows, without judgement, it inhabits creation and destruction cycles, instinctively knowing what periods are for planting seeds and what periods are for making space and pruning everything back.
Scorpio is constantly pushing outside the boundaries of its comfort zone and finds its own gold in the process. There is deep safety in self-knowledge. It allows you to take chances and feel safer in the processes of life.
