Taurus people make great executives. They love money and enjoy earning piles of it. When a Taurus person gets rich, he hangs on to his money, investing it in sound stocks or bonds, building solid houses, and even storing gold sovereigns in a mattress. The key word here is substantial. Taureans do not have confidence in light-headedness. Frivolity doesn't come naturally to them.
Many Taureans work with their hands. Even if a Taurus is a computer expert and seems more cerebral than manual, nine times out of ten there is a hidden craft or hobby lurking behind the scenes. Taureans enjoy forging beautiful things from natural materials. In fact, they are attracted to all sorts of beauty. Music thrills them. Flowers enchant them. The countryside seduces them. And art is their natural habitat.
Taureans are forever building their own workshops and renovating barns and old churches. They are not only home-loving but they like to get their hands into the cement and slather on the plaster, if only for the tangible joy of playing in the mud.
Taureans do not take kindly to sudden changes. They like to be wherever they are supposed to be when it is time to be there. Taureans readily adjust to routine and for that reason make fabulous employees. Precipitous and unexpected events requiring flexibility and resilience may just cause Taureans to dig in their hooves and refuse to budge. Bulls are obstinate and determined to hold their ground. It is wiser not to try to talk Taurus out of a sulk. Just let him paw the earth and snort and seethe alone. Take a tranquilizer and a walk. Soon, when the inevitable becomes blatantly inevitable, Taurus will budge on his own accord, as if nothing spontaneous had come along to disturb his quietude.
Sensuality belongs to Taurus. Wherever there is pleasure you will find a Taurus plunk in the middle of it all. They love to bask in the "good life". Taureans cannot resist the tug of the opposite sex. When an attractive newcomer arrives on the scene, count on Taurus to see to it that the outsider has a drink, is comfortable and has slipped Taurus a telephone number.
Taureans are amorous and romantic without being flighty or maudlin. They are tender and don't mind public displays of affection. Love and all of it's expressions appeal to the Bull. Taureans can be counted on to stray a bit where sex is concerned, but they never flaunt their infidelities and usually avoid sticky extracurricular entanglements. If you love a Taurus, feed him.
