The characteristics of Taurus are solidity, extreme determination and strength of will no one will ever drive them, but still Taurus will willingly and loyally follow a leader they trust. They are stable, conservative, law abiding citizens and lovers of peace. As Taurus have a sense of material values and physical possessions, respect for property and a horror of falling into debt, they will do everything in their power to maintain the security of the status quo and be somewhat hostile to change.
Mentally, the characteristics of Taurus are keen witted and practical more often than intellectual, but apt to become fixed in their opinions through their preference for following accepted and reliable patterns of experience. Taurus character is generally dependable, steadfast, prudent, just, firm and unshaken in the face of difficulties. Their vices arise from their virtues, going to extremes on occasion, such as sometimes being too slavish to the conventions they admire.
Taurus is the astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of this sign. In western astrology, this sign is no longer aligned with the constellation as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. In astrology, Taurus is considered a feminine, negative sign. It is also considered an earth sign and one of the four fixed signs. Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus. Being the second sign of the zodiac, this sign has been associated with the astrological second house.
On rare occasions a Taurus may be obstinately and exasperatingly self righteous, unoriginal, rigid, ultraconservative, argumentative, querulous bores, stuck in a self centered rut. They may develop a brooding resentment through nursing a series of injuries received and, whether their characters are positive or negative, they need someone to stroke their egos. Most Taurus people are not this extreme though.
