Taurus Personality Traits
Taurus takes life at its own pace and does not apologise for it. You tend to enjoy simple pleasures properly: a long meal, a soft jumper, a favourite song on repeat. You are calm until you are pushed too far, and once a Taurus has made up its mind, it takes a lot to move it.

Taurus in Love
Taurus tends to fall slowly and stay for a long time. You want to feel safe before you open up, and you show love through comfort: cooking, gifts, being there when you said you would be. A partner who is reliable, affectionate and not too dramatic wins a Taurus heart.
