Taurus zodiac sign

Taurus is the sign of comfort, beauty and staying power. Ruled by Venus, it loves what feels good: good food, soft fabrics, music, nature and the security of knowing where you stand. Taurus energy is calm and patient. It builds slowly, but what it builds tends to last.

Where Taurus sits in your chart shows where you want stability and where you are willing to put in steady effort. Strong Taurus placements are dependable, practical and deeply loyal. They value quality over quantity and are rarely rushed into a decision. Once they commit, though, they are very hard to move.

The sign shares its name with the Taurus constellation, one of the star patterns the Sun passes in front of during the year.
