Our delineation of the Taurus horoscope follows a very logical method, based on ancient basic and archetypal principles. It's NOT about stereotypes.
Every zodiac sign is the result of the so-called Quadruplicities (Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable signs) and Triplicities (related to the four elements: Fire, Air, Water and Earth).
The Taurus horoscope is based on the Fixed Earth energies:
The Fixed principle is about stability, holding tight and clinging. It implies concentrated, stabilizing and controlling energy. Fixed is unchanging, undisturbed and settled. Fixed represents the "getters", "havers" and "preservers."
The Earth principle is about material, tangible things. It's the solid-state and always very condense. It's cold and heavy. It wants to retain in a contracted manner.
Blending fixed earth into something tangible or material, you get the keyword of "concrete."
The main characteristics of the Sun (representing your self-expressing life force) in the fixed earth sign Taurus are:
living in a physical world (emphasis on the body and the senses)
proceeding (very) slowly, often in a reluctant way, cautious
steady and persistent energies, inert and immovable at times
loves comfort
"fenced in" but strong in the own body
wants to HAVE (for the sake of it)
Taurus is the most settled sign of the zodiac
quiet and silent, unemotional, steady and practical
firm and dogged
Depending on your birth date, the Taurus horoscope divides into the following three decanates:
