Taurus
Earth, Fixed, ruled by Venus
What Taurus Is About
Taurus is the sign of the physical world done well — comfort, quality, and things built to last. Where Aries wants the chase, Taurus wants the reward: something solid, tangible, and worth keeping. It moves slowly by design, because it's building for permanence, not speed.
Element & Modality
As an Earth sign, Taurus trusts what can be seen, touched, and tasted over what's merely theoretical. As a Fixed sign, it holds its ground once settled — Fixed signs anchor the middle of each season, and Taurus channels that staying power into steadiness and follow-through.
