Tauruses are known for their stubbornness, patience, and diligence; they may seem a bit slow, but they are careful and consistent. When they set a goal, they pursue it with determination, but they are open to correcting their course if they receive pertinent advice. They are practical, more rational than emotional, but not lacking in deep artistic sensitivity. Generally, they are smarter than intelligent and compensate for any shortcomings with courage and willpower, which helps them achieve more goals than others who may be better endowed.

In love, Tauruses are affectionate, sensitive individuals, oriented both towards love and friendship. They are faithful and gentle; they do not wish to dominate others, but they defend their rights firmly. They are usually reserved, but this does not prevent them from having many friends.

Compatibility with other signs is good with Pisces, Virgo, and Leo, while they should avoid contact with Aquarius and Scorpio.

The protective Archangel of the Taurus sign is Archangel Uriel (as well as for Virgo and Capricorn), supporting Taurus natives to overcome inertia in difficult situations and offering them power and energy to successfully overcome any trial.
