Personality, strengths and weak spots.
Personal traits
As Taurus people move towards their goals, they are known for their materialism as much as for their ability to gather all their attention in one place. Owning things is a fact of life for them. Extremely dependable in personal relationships, Taurus people enjoy helping others. They look for security throughout their lives and for that reason they do not put themselves at risk. The patience they show over the work they set out to do can sometimes reach a level that drives other people mad. In spite of all that, they are warm-hearted people whose company is sought out. They like to deal with concrete matters at all times, and they run their affairs successfully by drawing analogies from what happens in nature. That is why they are also people who are content in themselves. When organising things they keep their own comfort in view and take care that it suits their own taste. Once they have obtained what they want from life, no circumstance can pull them in another direction. They see money as a means of reaching comfort. They are skilled at acquiring property and possessions. Finance and investment interest them.
Physical traits
They are short in stature with a solid neck. They have a short neck and a languid gaze. Dark-skinned, they are people with deep, warm eyes. Their hair can be thick and curly. Taurus women in particular are very beautiful in their younger years, but in later life, because they consume too much starchy food, their features grow heavier and their build thickens.
