Ruling planted: Venus

Element: Earth

Symbol: The Bull

Venus is considered to be the most romantic planet in astrology. Being ruled by Venus makes a Taurus individual very attractive to the opposite sex. Socially Taurus will often have plenty of admirers, but are still quite discerning when it comes to love. In a relationship they are usually looking for security and stability, as well as romance and affection. Taurus are looking for more than a one night stand: they want a lasting and deep connection. Romance is important to any Taurus, as is a good sense of humor.

Taurus individuals are usually very loyal and extremely supportive partners, as long as they feel that the relationship is secure and loving. It can take a long time to get a Taurus to feel this way about a relationship however. Someone with a Taurus star sign is usually slow to trust in a relationship, but once that trust is given it is almost unshakably stable. Taurus individuals consider material pleasures to be very important, as they can provide the stability that a Taurus craves. A relationship that provides security and possessions is very important, and someone who is able to provide these things will receive a deep loyalty from the Taurus in return.

Taurus people like to know what tomorrow will hold for them, so they tend to be practical and even cautious in their relationships. They rarely jump into a romance, but once they do, they will embrace it fully. If they give their heart to someone, it usually takes a lot for them to want it back again. Taurus individuals have a stubborn streak that runs through their personality, and sometimes this can cause problems in a relationship. Ideally their partner will accept this aspect of the Taurus nature, and they also try to respect their partners’ opinions, even if when they differ from their own.

A Taurus individual will avoid any relationship with someone who is untrustworthy or unpredictable. They will appreciate a slow and steady courtship process, and a partner who can show that they have patience. A Taurus wants to get to know someone before the relationship starts in earnest, and openness and honesty are the only things that can speed up that process.

A Taureans best match will usually be with either a Cancer, Libra, or Virgo.
