Taurus Planet: ♀ Venus.
A Taurus man may not look like a passionate Romeo, but don't be fooled. Beneath that unhurried, practical manner lives an extraordinary romantic. Taurus loves beauty, after all, including a beautiful face.
His natural love of beauty and harmony usually shows itself like this: first he takes his time choosing the woman he adores, with all the care of a connoisseur. Then he courts her so devotedly, and so beautifully, that resisting him becomes almost impossible.
The other signs could learn a thing or two from a Taurus man in love. Who remembers the day you met? Who found that exquisite, decidedly expensive Valentine's gift? Who sends a white rose every day and thoughtful little texts? Taurus, of course.
Many of his qualities make him the very picture of masculine strength. He's confident, calm, independent, and purposeful. He knows what he wants and how to get it. There is another side: he can be maddeningly slow, stubborn, and inflexible about certain things. On the whole, though, he embodies reliability and strength.
How to Win a Taurus Man's Heart
To keep such an eligible man beside you, “all” you have to do is be his dream woman: intriguing and irresistible. A partner without a spark of mystery holds little appeal. A blunt, tactless woman appeals even less. Want to scare him off for good? Point out his shortcomings to his face or embarrass him. If you'd rather stay together, tenderness, understanding, and tact are essential.
Life with a Taurus Man
Taurus is a loving husband. He's an earth sign through and through, but there's nothing dull or narrowly practical about him. He may surprise you with tickets to an exhibition or a concert. Out in the countryside, he'll favor sports and an active day outdoors. In quieter moments, he's happy to pick up a book.
One thing he has almost no patience for is being criticized or contradicted, particularly in public, and particularly by you. In his view, the husband heads the household. He earns the money, makes the major decisions, and doesn't intend to sit through criticism, even when you have a point.
In other words, he expects to be the undisputed head of the family, and expects you to find ways to fit around him. In this traditional arrangement, that might even mean leaving your job.
When angry, Taurus can say far too much, then cool down quickly and feel remorseful. A deeper hurt is harder to handle. He may stop speaking to you for two days, and getting him to open up won't be easy. Whatever happened, once the storm passes, talk it through and resolve it. Don't assume it will disappear on its own. He doesn't bear grudges, but he hates unfinished business. Unresolved problems leave a mark, and enough of those marks can become a serious fracture.
At home, disorder in any form is hard for him to tolerate: belongings strewn everywhere, your relatives arriving without warning, a meal thrown together in a rush. His wife therefore needs more than good cooking skills. He expects her to keep things running smoothly, including sorting out the little misunderstandings of everyday life.
Still, the security of life with Taurus has its rewards. This romantic won't promise you the stars; he'd rather give you real diamonds. He loves luxury and will happily surround you with it, so long as you're happy beside him in that comfortable penthouse.
The Taurus Man as a Father
Taurus is a caring father who looks after his children beautifully. He has a priceless quality for raising them: patience. Instead of getting angry about a failing grade, he'll sit down with his child every day until the material finally makes sense.
