It is easy for them to stay on the same projects until they are completed. Though they seem stubborn at times, this can also be interpreted as a quality of commitment, for they are able to complete tasks for whatever it takes. This makes them great employees and long-term friends, as they are always there for the job. As an earth sign, this may make them overprotective or materialistic at times, as views of the world are founded on their love of money and wealth.
The ruling planet of Taurus is Venus, the planet of beauty, love, creativity, and gratitude. This makes Taurus people excellent cooks, artists, and lovers. They do not like sudden changes and are slightly dependable on their emotions and other people that they cannot let go of. Despite any emotional challenges though, these individuals can bring a practical voice of reason in discordant situations.

Love
In matters of love, Taurus is no "player." When a Taurus finds someone they like, they hold on to that. They love romance - gourmet chocolates, fine restaurants, eccentric flowers and all.

They want someone with good taste, manners, and classy style. Though Taurus people don't like drama, they need a mate that can add a little spice in their lives.

Though Tauruses have a soft spot for their partners, they do have their limits. Anyone who takes a Taurus for granted or crosses their boundaries will have a charging bull to deal with. Kindness does not equate to wekness when it comes to Tauruses.
