Taurus is the zodiac's anchor — grounded, patient, and deeply loyal. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, the Bull savors life's pleasures: good food, comfort, and security. Taurus moves slowly and deliberately, which can read as stubbornness, but it's really a refusal to be rushed off a sure path.
