The Taurus man
The Taurus man is a wonderful listener. People open up to him because he understands them deeply; it can feel as if he knows what you are thinking just by looking into your eyes. He is often attractive and athletic-looking, with a strong, magnetic presence.
He loves music and dancing, likes learning about new things and does not live in the past. Because he is so serious, he takes his time to think things through. Many Taurus men are home-lovers who spend much of their free time at home.
In love he is sincere and committed. He likes to make the women in his life happy, enjoys spoiling his partner with gifts, taking her on trips and shopping, and has good, modern taste in style.
The Taurus woman
The Taurus woman is confident, stylish and very capable. She can turn her hand to almost any kind of work and prefers not to accept help, especially from men, because she believes that whatever a man can do, she can do too. She has a hot temper and rarely makes the first move to apologize; if someone really upsets her, she may not forgive them easily.
Behind that strength she hides a sensitive, artistic heart. She loves nature and music, and she tends to build castles in the air, setting her hopes high. When reality falls short of her dreams, her mood can change in an instant.
She is very good at keeping her feelings to herself, so she can seem cool about love. She is not a social butterfly and keeps her heart for one person. Once she decides to love someone, she will follow that person through fire and water, because she believes in true love.
Taurus in love and relationships
