The second Sign of the Zodiac, is all about reward. Unlike Aries, who just loves the challenge of the game, Taureans love the rewards, the big payoff. Think physical pleasures and material goods, and a Taurean will spring to mind, for those born under this Sign revel in delicious excess. They are also a tactile lot, enjoying the tender (and sensual) touch. Taureans adore comfort and like being surrounded by pleasing, soothing things. And this applies to their palate, too - they favour a good meal and a fine wine.

The good life in all its guises, the fine arts, or art of their own making, are heaven on Earth to the Taurean-born.The Taurean mascot is the Bull, along with which comes the expectation that these people are bull-headed and stubborn. Yes, they are. This is due to the Fixed Quality attached to their sign, so expect that things will occasionally grind to a halt. That said, Taureans don't start out with the intention of getting stuck. They simply want to get things done, and it is that steady, dogged persistence which winds up being viewed as stubbornness. Bulls are actually among the most practical and reliable members of the Zodiac, and they are happy to plod along, as it were, in pursuit of their goals. The good news for Bulls is that once they get to the finish line, they'll indulge in comfortable, luxurious material goods. A self-indulgent beast? Perhaps, but if you toiled as laboriously as these people do, you'd need some goodies, too.

Taurus is ruled by the Planet Venus, the Planet of love, beauty, art and indulgence. In ancient Roman mythology, Venus was the Goddess of all those things, and Taureans appear to have taken up where she left off. Bulls are fond of all things pretty, whether it's in their home, at a museum or on the stage. To onlookers, this may look excessive, but Bulls really aren't interested in living without being surrounded by beauty. To the Bull beauty also comes in the form of a happy home life, one that includes a partner and a stable relationship.
