The symbol of the bull has been with us for a long time. The sacrificial animal of antiquity, Crete's Bull Cult and within Hinduism the Ox and cow being holy animals, help us trace their symbolism through the ages. Security and harmony of tilling the land is omnipresent in a Taurus consciousness. He is practical, patient and resolute. He enjoys the good things in life appreciating beauty and art, good food and drink and the creature comforts of life.

He readily takes on responsibility. The need to feel secure can sometimes be expressed in exaggerated acquisitiveness and need for control. The need to own can unfortunately give rise to feelings of jealousy. Emotionally Taurus's most often strive for stability and steady relationships. If you want a partner that will never let you down you should choose a Taurus.

He can be quiet and have a high level of tolerance, but if he is provoked enough he can be dangerous. The modern society sees sometimes to be too stressful for Taurus's and likewise he's aversion to change can cause a tendency to become introvert. There he will always find strength and power.
