Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
A Taurus is anyone with a birthday between April 20 and May 20. Taurus is the second of the 12 astrological signs and is represented by the bull constellation. Of the four zodiac elements (air, earth, fire, and water), Taurus is an earth sign.
Taureans, like the bull that represents them, are known to be intelligent, dependable, hardworking, dedicated, and stubborn. But there’s more to the Bull than meets the eye. Let’s dive in and learn all about the Taurus personality, from its good side to its bad side.
In astrology, each zodiac sign is represented by one of three modalities: cardinal, fixed, or mutable. A sign’s modality is just another way of saying, “This is how this sign expresses itself.” The Taurus modality is fixed, meaning people born under this sign tend to be reliable, persistent, and stable.
Tauruses have a regal quality about them. They are graceful and diligent laborers. They can be stubborn, bull-headed, and set in their ways, but they are also great listeners and very dependable.

Taurus Compatibility
There are no absolutes when it comes to astrological compatibility. That being said, Taurus tends to require support, consistency, and love from their relationships—and will offer up the same in return! They can make it work with anyone who can teach them to compromise and won’t take their stubborn nature too personally. In return, Taurus will teach you to appreciate the simple things in life: a picnic in the park, a day without social media, a yummy breakfast in bed.
Taurus in friendships
If you’re looking for a friend who’s always game to go out to eat, check out the latest art exhibit, or spend some money on a shopping spree, look no further than a Taurus. They love luxury, and love sharing it with their pals even more.
Taureans make steadfast and loyal friends you can trust, and their stable, grounding nature can be very warm and inviting when you need it most. They also tend to appreciate people who give off a similar grounded nature, such as other Earth signs.
If you ask them to get together and they’re feeling like a homebody or want to stick to their routine, don’t take it personally—these folks just really appreciate their way of doing things. But when it counts most, you can bet they’ll help see you through the tough times, as they can be very protective.
