Taurus: Attraction

The Sun enters Taurus on April 19th this year.
Taurus is ruled by docile Venus, and is a passive, feminine sign. Her appeal is luring, earthy sensuality and practicality. Her main challenge is to learn to share.
Her main gemstone is the emerald. Emeralds are especially appropriate worn as necklaces because the body part ruled by Taurus is the neck. Emeralds have traditionally been associated with loyalty, belief in immortality, love, and faith.
Her main color is green. Taurus generally looks best in earthy colors, denim, and white. She looks at clothes (and people) in terms of how they might feel to the touch, and even if an outfit looks fabulous, if it doesn’t feel fabulous next to her skin, she’ll avoid it. Interestingly too, she usually sniffs out new clothes, and is more aware than most about how certain fabrics absorb smells! She sticks to her favorite clothes and jewelry, and many a Taurus woman will own more than one of each of these favorite pieces. If she finds the perfect fit and style of jeans, for example, she’ll go back and buy a second pair in case something happens to the first, rather than risk trying a new style. While Taurus can pull off a lot, she doesn’t look good in boxy or uncomfortable-looking clothes. She loves fresh, uncomplicated, and clean scents, and is the first to notice an unusual or offending smell.
When it comes to attraction, Taurus’ secret weapon is serenity. There is a composed, peaceful, and patient quality to Taurus that is unmistakable and irresistible to many. Potential suitors sense that she’s solid, never desperate or overly needy, and genuine. More often than not, Taurus women are described as “real” or even “the real thing”. She’s not flashy, yet she makes a statement. She’s sensual and feminine yet firm and strong-minded. There’s an extremely soothing aura surrounding Taurus that is really quite rare in a world seemingly filled with stressed-out people. It’s easy to trust a Taurus, and to count on her.
In a pinch, Taurus will rarely engage in a messy argument, although she does have a legendary temper if completely provoked. If cornered, her refusal to “go there” might be a little frustrating at first, but usually wins her “the argument that never was”. Why fight with someone who seems above it all? You’ll only wind up feeling silly and appearing excessively emotional in contrast. She is good at walking out if she feels you’re blowing things out of proportion. She firmly believes that the best revenge is silence. And, she’s probably right.
She’s expert at scoping out a new person in her life, although she rarely comes across as the type of person who questions and doubts. Instead, she seems to be a great listener. While she’s rarely gushing, she offers solid advice and support. Taurus takes quite a bit of time to let a lover into her heart, but when she does, she can be unstinting. She’ll defend you to death, if the need arises. In fact, she comes alive when she needs to defend or protect a loved one.
Because she is basically unadventurous, change can be a threat to her. She is more likely to get into a rut, preferring to preserve the status quo, so that any change that happens in her life she perceives to come from the outside. However, whatever experiences life brings to her she learns quickly from, and is unlikely to make the same mistake twice.
Passionate and always tender, Taurus is seductive and will pamper her lover both in the bedroom and out of it. She will take her time in a relationship and needs to be wooed. She wants to get to know her partner and will not commit until she is sure she has made the right choice. When she does commit though, it’s probably forever. She does get jealous, but only if really provoked.
Sex with the Taurus woman is a deeply sensuous experience. She likes a lover who takes time to savor the moment, and doesn’t think much of a person who thinks foreplay is something you do on the golf course. She is often content with repeating the same things in bed, but before you decide that’s boring, remember that contentment means she’s not going to rush out and find a replacement if you’re going through a dry spell. She may not be the one to suggest a new position, but she’s usually very open to the idea if you do. Her appreciation of the simple pleasures in life, combined with legendary stamina, is a real plus. Too often people become restless in their sex life, failing to appreciate the basic pleasures of sex. Not so with Taurus, who can truly keep a long-term sexual relationship alive, not necessarily with variety but with untiring passion. This is especially true for women with Moon and/or Venus in Taurus.
She is placid and slow to anger, but the lover who arouses her jealousy won’t be allowed to forget it in a hurry. She is looking for her Prince Charming, and wants a steady, romantic, and fulfilling relationship. Words don’t move her in quite the same way as actions do. She finds it hard to get over a failed romance, but as a romantic at heart, soon gets herself back into the game again.
Saturn has been occupying Taurus’ fellow earth sign, Virgo, since September 2007 and will continue to do so until November 2009. While many have been struggling with a Saturn opposition to Uranus influence that pits responsibility against freedom, Taurus has remained soothingly centered on these lines. Many Tauruses have been taking a romantic relationship more seriously in the past couple of years. However, there has been some confusion for many Tauruses about career, home life, and status, and you might find Taurus a little preoccupied as a result.
