Dear Taurus, don’t forget: you’re worth the effort. 

Know your worth, then add tax. 

From April 20th to May 20th, the sun is in Taurus. Taureans tend to be both steadfast and sensual. They love the finer things in life and are willing to work to get them. However, Taurus is also known for its slower-moving energy. The way to a Taurus’ heart is likely through good food, quality time, and meaningful gifts. While some may get frustrated with how stubborn a Taurus can be, the truth is that a Taurus is a friend who will be loyal, never miss an important event in your life, and will be generous with their love. 

Taurus needs the support they give, too. They may appear to have it all together on the outside, but the truth is that Taurus, like all signs, has an entire private world underneath the surface of their tough exteriors. 

Read more about the earthy, Venusian sign of Taurus. Where they shine, where there are lessons to be learned, and how we can both learn from and support our Taurus friends. 

Where you shine Taurus

Your generosity

You aren’t afraid to splurge on those you love. Gift-giving may not be every Taurus’ love language, but many are fluent in it. Beyond material items, you are incredibly generous with your heart, Taurus. 

Your dependability

You are incredibly reliable, Taurus. Your steadfast nature makes you an excellent friend and partner. 

Your romantic flair

Tauruses know how to romanticize their lives. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and wealth, Taurus can have a flair for the romantic, with excellent taste. 

Other words we’d use to describe you, Taurus:

• Reliable 
• Dependable
• Grounded
• Loving

Where there are still lessons to be learned

Taurus, are you afraid of failure?

There’s nothing wrong with sticking to a tried-and-true method, career, or even your lunch order. But we also want to remind you that trying something new is okay, even if you fail. Here’s a question you can ask yourself from our Taurus journal:

When was the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone? 

Sometimes you’re loyal to a fault. 

Your loyalty is one of your most beautiful qualities, but sometimes you give out your loyalty to undeserving people. If you’re feeling like someone is taking advantage of you, don’t be afraid to walk away with grace. 

Do you ever hold grudges?

The same trait that gives you your steadfastness and rooted passion, is the same trait that gives you energy to hold on to things for way too long. Make peace with letting things be, Taurus. 

Where you’re misunderstood 

“Tauruses are stubborn.”

They do hold on to their convictions, but we see that as a good thing. “Stand for nothing, fall for anything” is a quote Taurus lives by.  It’s valid to bring to someone’s attention that they are being a bit stubborn, but tread lightly not to invalidate their feelings. 

“Tauruses are lazy.” 

They know the value of resting and do so unapologetically. Taurus knows what hard work looks like, and isn’t afraid to recharge so that they can continue to build the life they deserve. Instead of being quick to criticize this trait, consider if you’ve been giving yourself adequate rest. 

“Tauruses aren’t easygoing.”

Taurus, like the other earth signs Virgo and Capricorn, knows what they like. They are the friends who will help make the group trip itinerary, suggest a new restaurant, or refer you to a great doctor. So, it’s not that they aren’t going with the flow, but they’ve put a lot of thought into their plans! 

How to support the Taurus in your life

Follow through with them. Because Taurus Suns can be so dependable, extending them the same courtesy is a major way to show you care. Sometimes your reliable friend needs someone to rely on.

Give them space to vent. A reason Taurus may hold grudges is because they may not always be the most vocal about their emotions. Giving them the space to voice themselves is one way to show your Taurus friend some love. 

Encourage them to keep going. It’s no secret that Taurus can be a bit slow-moving, it’s in their nature. If your Taurus is stalling on a passion project, looking for a new apartment, or taking the next big step in their career, be honest with them. Encouragement might be the little nudge they need. 

What we can all learn from Taurus

Even if you aren’t a Taurus, doesn’t mean you can’t learn from their ways. Taurus season is a great time to unwind, treat yourself, and get grounded. Here are some ways we can exude a bit more Taurus energy:

• Slow down every once in a while. Stop to eat your meal slowly, free of distractions. Or go for a leisurely stroll this evening. 
• Go the extra mile. For a loved one or yourself, put in the extra effort to make someone’s day. 
• Save for a rainy day. You never know what the future brings. Whether it's for a fun purchase or a necessity, consider saving a few extra dollars this season if you can. 
• Learn to let it go. Holding on to past anger or resentment does nothing for the person you’re upset with. Do your best to make peace with those who have wronged you. 

Gentle reminders for you this season, Taurus <3

• Don’t forget to take a moment to slow down and appreciate the things you might be taking for granted
• As strong as you are, you deserve to be soft too
• You deserve as much support as you give 
•  Your loyalty will always inspire us

Happy Birthday, Taurus!

All our love, 

ITO
