TAURUS Overall view:
Taurus is symbolized by the Bull. You may be stubborn, but your grounded, steady demeanor makes you someone others can count on. You're also a sensualist who loves good food, physical affection, romance and material goods – and only the best of everything.

TAURUS Career Profile:
The Bull could be considered the worker bee of the Zodiac, not the image you might have of this hard-charging sort. Taurus is reliable and loyal, easy to get along with and a good team player. They're also practical and grounded, as befits an Earth Sign.

If you want things to get done, call the Bull. You may have to ring them two or three times though, since they can be a bit lazy to get going, but once they're up and running, look out! There's a focus and single-mindedness of purpose there that can come in plenty handy. Taureans can be notoriously strong-willed, so it's a good idea for colleagues to lay down the law first – the Bull will follow their lead and work hard. So hard in fact, that Taureans are often the pillar of a company, the community and certainly their family. Hey, that's what those strong shoulders are for! Organization is also something that is best placed in the Bull's capable hands.

While the Bull can do well in business, an artistic streak is also present. More apparent though, can be the Bull's frequent stubborn streaks, which can defeat a lot of hard work. And that temper! It's mercifully swift, so duck while plates are flying, and you'll be fine. If Taureans can keep their focus on the steady accumulation of material goods and an occasional dose of earthy, sensual pleasures, life will be grand.

The Taurus office is likely to be a comfy, cozy den, a place where guests will feel welcome and the Bull can hold court. Driving around between appointments is likely to be done in a sport utility vehicle, with ski racks on top as a sign of practicality and success. If it's a lunch date you crave, the Bull can just as easily take you for a BLT or filet mignon – it all depends on your value to this discerning member of the Zodiac.
Taureans are well suited as bankers, artists, accountants, musicians, gardeners or any profession that requires patience and determination.

TAURUS Fitness Profile:
Persistent Taurus is ready to plod along any sort of fitness routine. You know that slow and steady win the race. While others are racing around you, you're content to go about your business, knowing you'll get there eventually. Many Taureans have a strong build with a slightly slower metabolism. Weight lifting and shot put are good plans for the solid Bull. When playing team sports, you'll probably be much happier if you have an important role in keeping the team together. As a Fixed Sign, stretching is very important. You may want to try yoga and meditation for added flexibility. Be wary of your sweet tooth! Taurus likes finery, but living too much of the good life can put a strain on your heart.

TAURUS Romance Profile:
Sweetness and light may be the best recipe for romance with the Bull. This is a sign oh-so-responsive to a wink, a smile and a tender touch; if all this comes along with roses and champagne, so much the better. Material pleasures are important to Taureans and they will create a den of delight sure to dazzle their lover. Seeing how important security and possessions are to Taurus, someone who provides these things will quickly make it to the top of their list. The reward? Undying loyalty and a kinship which is sure to please.

TAURUS Beauty Profile:
Even though the symbol of Taurus is the very male bull, this Fixed Earth Sign is all about potent femininity, the kind of natural, earthy beauty that changes lives and moves mountains. Now that's better than thinking of yourself as a slow, stubborn old bull, right? Taurus women radiate a simple but powerful beauty; it's this subtlety that is a Taurus woman's greatest charm.

You probably own very few cosmetic products, but what you do own is the very best (for you, at least), and you stick with a tried-and-true. While you appreciate a brand name, what you're really looking for is quality, and though you prefer simplicity to showiness, you know how to highlight your best features and downplay your less-than-perfections.

Taurus should grow out your natural curls rather than force them straight, or keep your nails trimmed short if you just know long and sexy won't work for you. You adore the small, sensual pleasures of beauty – sensual fabrics, natural, revitalizing skin creams and perfume with a woodsy, balsamic scent.
You prefer your hair flowing naturally over your shoulder or a loose tendril falling across your forehead.

TAURUS Money Profile:
The slow and steady Bull is one of the Zodiac's great providers. Those born under this Sign are terrific with money, probably because they value it so much. They also love the good life, and that usually costs a pretty penny – after all, how many Van Goghs go on sale?

Thankfully, the Bull doesn't mind working hard for the good things in life since comfort is worth it’s price. That's not to say that Taureans don't get a charge from a sunset, a juicy grapefruit, and a good book as well. It's just that shiny new cars are so pretty, and they run like a dream too, which is exactly what the practical Bull wants. As an Earth Sign, Taureans also enjoy owning a piece of the Earth, so real estate makes for a particularly attractive investment for these folks. It's also a great way to take care of the ones they love.

Taureans have a wonderful ability to keep their eyes on the prize, which means that they will slowly and steadily get the things they want. The Bull loves everything about money – its color, feel, and smell – and also feels entitled to it! This comfort level around money helps to make them very good with it. Bulls don't tend to overspend, preferring the security which a stash of money brings. Liking security in general (a partner, their own home), Taureans aren't likely to make rash financial decisions that will cause them to lose their treasure trove.

Tangible assets are best where Taureans are concerned, things which they can see, feel, and touch. Consequently, antiques and real estate are far more appealing than stocks and bonds. Bulls are often long-term investors as well, since they like both making and keeping money. What does the lusty Bull love most in life? Food, sex, and money, although not necessarily in that order!
The Bull is a master at making deliberate decisions where money is concerned, which means that bills will be paid on time and accounts are always in order. That old maxim ‘neither a borrower nor a lender be’ fits the strong and capable Bull to a Taurean T.

TAURUS Fashion Profile:
The pristine Bull would never be caught wearing anything off the rack. Face it, you're a label snob the likes of which any designer would be proud of. You would know exactly what to wear to dinner with royalty, and even your workout clothes are created by big-name designers. Only the finest of imported fabrics will do. Anything that is rough to the touch just wouldn't be civilized. Never willing to sacrifice quality, you are quite capable of spending your last dime to get that gorgeous, classical suit tailor-made. Price is no object because you know that when you find that perfect garment, it will be yours forever. Well-made clothes never go out of style. Trends are not the most important part of your wardrobe. Stiletto heels are silly things when flats are much more comfortable.

For Taurus, their best feature is often the neck. Classy chokers and necklaces look marvelous on you. You should wear your hair up and decorate it with jewels. Bright colors and flashy glamour can be left for the plebeians, you will stick to your browns, beiges and khakis. With your sense of fashion, you will never be underdressed for any occasion, and you will always look good.
