What Taurus Rashi Means
If Taurus is your rashi, you are steady, patient, and reliable. You value comfort, beauty, and the good things in life, and you build slowly toward lasting security. Once you decide on something, you hold firm and see it through.
The hard side is that you can be stubborn, slow to change, or too fond of comfort and possessions. You may hold on too tightly. Learning to stay open and to let go when needed helps you enjoy your gifts without being ruled by them.
Element, Quality and Symbol
Taurus is an earth sign, which gives it patience, practicality, and a love of the physical, sensory world. It is a fixed sign, which means it is steady, loyal, and hard to move once set. Venus, its ruler, adds a love of beauty, art, comfort, and pleasure.
The bull is strong, calm, and slow to anger, but immovable once roused. Taurus rules the neck and throat in the body, and often carries a rich voice and a love of music, food, and fine things.

Love and Marriage
In love, Taurus people are warm, loyal, and devoted. They love deeply and steadily, offer comfort and security, and stay faithful for the long run.
