Exploring Taurus Energy

Taurus is a sturdy earth sign.

Taurus needs simplicity and a place for calm. Taurus is not an impulsive sign. Instead, they can be a little slow to warm to something, but once they are committed their fixed nature gifts them perseverance to accomplish. This longstanding commitment also applies in relationships as a dedicated friend or lover.

In a busy tech world, I love soft Taurus energy.

Taurus embracing their calm nature and resisting the need for rushing is a wonderful strength in an evolving AI culture.

Taurus teaches us not to rush, to slow down and do things in our own time. Enjoy moments of peace.

Taurus needs to feel rooted into reality. This sign needs to be grounded to our beautiful earth, to physically plant their feet on the ground.

Taurus has a need for security and anchoring. This translates to a few areas including feeling comfortable in their physical body. An anchoring into their physical existence. Taurus also finds security in their home, which needs to be a calm place.

Taurus finds comfort with familiar things. This sign doesn’t need to be seeking what is new, rather sticking with tried and true. Another reason that Taurus can be a wonderful friend or romantic partner.
