They are thought to usually be above average height

THE DEAL THAT U GET:

Taurus persons tend to be hedonistic, cool customers. They live primarily through the pleasures of their senses.

This is the more solid and pragmatic sign in the zodiac. It brings a lot of practicality and earthly sensibility. It is very utilitarian and seeks real, useful results for its efforts. This sign may be seen as lazy by some, but that is because it is strongly motivated by reward, and lack of such prize for its efforts tends to drain it of energies.

This sign is not psychologically equipped to deal with conflict and suffering, which reveal its more neurotic, sometimes brutal side. It does not take well to threats or disrespect, and can be quite resentful. Nevertheless, this is much more a sign of love and pleasure, where he usually much prefers to dwell.

Taurus can be greatly moved by physical beauty. In fact, some Taurus people, especially Taurus ladies find themselves delving in fields of esthetics or cosmetics.

Little acknowledged trait of Taurus is its rebellious nature, which is often considered as stubbornness. Its rebelliousness is actually quite refined in nature, certainly when compared to Aquarius' no holds barred. In accordance, it can be extremely wilful when it does not feel appreciated or respected.

They really hate discomfort, and can be quite preoccupied with avoiding it. This sign is usually a subscriber to "slowly but surely". It prefers to hold back than to risk himself.

Although they are quite aware of the wickedness inherent within their natural melancholy, basic constructive drives within this sign usually make them go with the greater good. Even in the case they do go down the wrong path, it will be more systematically conductive than just spite, and it should be rewarding aplenty. That said, naturally they are more inclined to fall into depression than act in a negative fashion.

They have a great longing to something special, exciting. This is the grounds for the great possessiveness within this sign, as anything that's considered special to them is held dear, clasped indeed.

Taurus is the more practical, constructive sign within the zodiac. The ruler of this sign is Venus, on her earthy side. His natural house is the second house.

Taurus shares similar qualities with Virgo, which eases them working together. Taurus appreciates Virgo's stable and rather predictable ways, and they often associate.

It can sometimes feel a bit intellectually inferior to Virgo's more dazzling abilities. Granted, Taurus does not really like to complicate himself with intellectual processes that do not lead to good, perceivable, real-world implications. This may sometimes mark him as "slow" by some, although Mercury's situation should be judged as well. Taurus' mentality tends to simplify things, really "bring them down to earth" (and to the commoners), and so sometimes eases thing and makes them much more workable.

Taurus tends to be somewhat more self-interested than Virgo, and can become quite lazy if there isn't any incentive offered.

Earth Signs--Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn-- Earth represents man's material resources, environment and possessions. The Earth signs are associated with sensation, stability and practicality, and people with a lot of earth in their make up are solid, dependable, thorough, responsible, cautious, overexertive, overprotective, and quiet. In combination with the other elements, earth feels that air will suffocate it, fire will burn it, but water will refresh and nourish it. It is the element of strength and healing.

Taurus personalities:

Interestingly, there are not so many top-celebrities of this sign, as it tends to be rather personal and does not usually feel a burning need to take on the world. It tends to be rather easily satisfied, and prefers not to extend itself too much.
