Taurus Traits
Learning about Zodiac Signs is an interesting way to try to understand why people are the way they are! While there is no guarantee that someone will have the characteristics that are linked with their Zodiac sign, it’s still fun to know what qualities are associated with different signs. If you don’t know already, Zodiac Signs are determined by your date of birth. People who were born between April 20 and May 20 are members of the second astrological sign in the Zodiac: Taurus. Like all Zodiac Signs, people born under the Taurus sign are associated with both positive and negative traits. Having said that, we think it’s more fun to focus on the good so that’s what we’re going to do here! Whether you are a Taurus yourself, or you are thinking about dating a Taurus, we will tell you all about the best Taurus traits below!
1Dependable
Taurus individuals are extremely reliable and are always there for their friends and family. If they say they will be somewhere on time, they will be. If they say they will help you with something, they will. Dependability is a great trait to have in a friend, family member, or a significant other because these relationships require that you trust each other to be there for one another. It is also great to have co-workers who belong to the Taurus sign because you can count on them to always do their part to get the job done.
2Independent
Independence is one of the hallmark characteristics of Taurus individuals. While they care deeply for their loved ones, they are very self-motivated and are able to take care of their own needs as much as they are able to take care of the needs of their friends and family. Since Taurus’ are independent, they are awesome to be around because they do not need to be coddled and you do not need to worry about them falling through the cracks. Taurus’ are skilled at developing stability for themselves so they won’t be hopping around from one career to the next or making rash decisions that can haunt them later in life. Even though they are independent, don’t forget that your Taurus friend, significant other, or family member still loves to spend time with you!
3Ambitious
Another trait of Taurus individuals is their ambitious disposition. Though they value stability, they do not settle for situations in which they do not feel like they are being challenged or appreciated. They will seek out job opportunities that are difficult and require them to be their best selves and they will be persistent in pursuing these opportunities. In terms of relationships, a Taurus will not settle for a relationship that does not make them happy or fulfilled and they will not pursue a partner who they believe is below the standards they deserve. Although ambition can be misconstrued for arrogance, Taurus’ are simply interested in making the most out of their lives and never squandering any opportunities.
4Generous
Even though Taurus individuals are independent and ambitious, they do not let their self-sufficiency get in the way of their generosity and care for other people. A Taurus wants to make sure that their loved ones are taken care of and feel valued, so they make sure to display generosity toward their loved ones. Some examples of generosity could include expensive gifts, but often these gestures of generosity are not purchased for a price. For example, if you lost your job, your Taurus friend would offer to let you crash at their place and they would share their food with you without asking for reimbursement. Having said all this, a Taurus’ generosity is primarily reserved for people who have earned their trust. Taurus’ can be stubborn and pragmatic, which means that if you do not get their stamp of approval, you most likely will not be the recipient of random acts of kindness from a Taurus.
5Protective/Loyal
Protectiveness and loyalty are extremely important characteristics to people with the Taurus sign. As soon as you have earned the trust and love of an individual who is a Taurus, you can rest assured knowing that they will have your back no matter how bad the situation is. Your Taurus friend will not stand silent if they hear people bad-mouthing you and they will be the first to step in to defend you if they see someone treating you with less respect than they think you deserve. In terms of relationships, dating a Taurus is great because you don’t need to worry about fidelity. Your Taurus partner understands the importance of loyalty and would never do anything to hurt you because they want to protect you. Taurus’ care a lot about their families and they make sure that they spend time with them even though they are independent spirits at heart.
6Social
Individuals who possess the Taurus sign place value upon socializing with other people. Not only do they enjoy socializing, but they have great social skills! A Taurus knows how to connect with people and they have a great sense of humor, which they are skilled at using to make people feel more comfortable in a social situation. Even though Taurus’ are very independent and self-sufficient, they also know that socializing with other people and learning from them is of practical importance because it makes them happier. If you find yourself dating a Taurus, you will never need to worry that your partner will be awkward and rude at a party; instead you will be pleased and proud at how well they are able to connect with many different types of people. It is also great to have at least one Taurus in your friend group because they will help make every party or social experience a blast! Even though people who are Taurus’ are social, they are also known to be stubborn. So, if you find yourself in a debate with a Taurus, expect that you will not change their mind, but that they will be eager to participate in a productive and positive conversation with you!
