​
A Taurus Sun sign will seek out quality in their possessions. They will seek to have a rich home life with stability and love. They want to be dependable and practical, so they make choices to become that. Taurus is known for being stubborn. It is redundant at this point to even mention that Taurus (the bull) is stubborn. However, what is not acknowledged is that this stubbornness is a form of tenacity.
They are stubborn in holding to their values, their self worth. They are stubborn in their loyalty to their friends and family. It is hard to force a bull to move anywhere they do not want to. This can be to their benefit and their detriment. This is not to say a Taurus Sun will be stupid in their stubbornness. If you talk to a Taurus, many will say something along the lines of, “I’m not stubborn, I can change my mind if it makes sense.” And this is true. As stubborn as a Taurus is, they are also practical. Most, however, don't want to take the time to calmly explain their reasoning to their Taurus friend. It can also take time to convince a Taurus of something they have already decided on. At times a Taurus will even be insulted that one would assume they have not done ample research before deciding in the first place.
Secrets & Jealousy
Rage Runs in the family
Anger runs deep with Taurus. One must remember that they are sister signs with Scorpio and rage runs in the family. They have a patience that is unmatched by most others. However, once that rubber band snaps it is very difficult to calm them. It is difficult to calm themselves and God forbid their anger has a practical reason because they will never let go of it. A Taurus holds a grudge the way a mountain holds its place.
Over the years, a Taurus may actually simmer down when it comes to the emotional pain caused but even so, a taurus is unlikely to make amends after the fact. Taurus refuses to compromise their own values and self worth, they may not let it go simply on principle, even when they miss the person they no longer speak to. I will also say this, a genuine, true apology goes a long way with a Taurus (Provided the slight was not too heinous). In harder situations, if the person approaches correctly, and atones for their actions, and if this person is someone the Taurus valued/values and is therefore loyal to, there is room here for reconciliation.
​
In the event that the act was heinous, (sleeping with their partner/cheating, stealing, a betrayal of some kind, etc), it would be easier convincing a tree to stand on its head than have a Taurus let it go. At times it becomes less of a matter of the heart and more so a matter of what is acceptable behavior. Earth Signs are not fans of being humiliated.
As I have mentioned with Taurus being Sister signs with Scorpio, not many have truly noticed how secretive and closed off a Taurus can be. It’s not that they will lie to people, but they will frequently omit the truth if they do not trust you yet. Depending on their history with trust and betrayal, that trust may be difficult to earn. It is not too hard to understand why many don’t notice this trait of the Taurus sign. A Scorpio, in their ego, will often sort of advertise how secretive they are. They enjoy that trait of theirs and find no shame in it. A Taurus is protective of themselves. They will hold boundaries with strangers and even long time acquaintances. This can differ, depending on the other signs in a person's chart.
​​
A Taurus Sun is also known to be possessive. They like their stuff to stay theirs, this absolutely bleeds into their romantic lives. That being said, their mars and venus signs will more so play a role into their exact reaction to a romantic partner flirting with or hanging around potential threats but regardless, they view it as a betrayal.

Laziness & The Taurean Ego
The laziness in Taurus people is spoken about often but not in the way that I wish it would be. Taurus people will usually take some joy in hard work. Seeing long-time efforts pay off is satisfying. It has been said that if a Taurus was raised in a very sedentary household, it can lead to issues with procrastination and laziness.
​
A Taurean child who does not have an active father figure can struggle with procrastination as an adult. The “lazy” mindset is easy to fall into.This can cause serious depression and a lowering of self esteem given that earth signs do not like to feel impotent or unproductive, or worst of all, useless.
If this is your experience, it is important to make changes in your life to remedy this but only focus on the cause and effect of it. Using shame as a learning device may work from time to time but it will mostly get in the way of actual self growth. Shame can cause one to want to hide away from responsibilities rather than facing challenges head on. Start small if you notice you are sitting around a lot. Take up hobbies that involve creating something. Sewing, baking, and especially gardening.
Your Sun sign matters, it is your ego. Taking care of your ego is incredibly important. A person with a damaged ego can end up feeling resentful of others or hating themselves with no real explanation of why. To build the ego is to build one’s confidence. This confidence allows us to handle tough situations such as conflicts, social anxiety, financial troubles
The Homemaker
Taurus’s home planet is Venus and they rule the second house. A Taurus will strive to create a beautiful home and fill it with high quality furniture. They want to create an environment that is comforting to them and their loved ones. Taurus is all about stability and while they may struggle from time to time to clean, their subconscious is not going to like living in a chaotic mess. They also enjoy products, materials, and activities that feel especially good. A hot bath with quality bath salt, a massage, good food, anything that might make them feel luxurious.
That being said, a Taurus who is hungry, tired, and surrounded by cheap, possibly itchy fabric is going to be very easily pissed off. As a Taurus, it is important to take care of yourself. If you do not feed your ego by pursuing these things, you can feel depressed and apathetic. A Taurus may struggle with a spending problem because buying nice things makes them feel secure, confident, and it gives them hope. You can combat this when you are low on money by finding lower cost items to purchase or even make yourself. For instance, instead of going to REI, or some nice department store, try going to the second hand shop in some wealthy area. You can also go out for a nice cup of tea or yummy coffee or some sort of pastry. Watching your spending habits is important. Managing the way you comfort yourself will help prevent sudden overkill shopping trips.
