Taurus is the second sign — the energy that takes the spark of Aries and gives it a place to live. Venus rules you, but a different Venus than the one ruling Libra: yours is earthy, embodied, sensual. You believe pleasure is a meaningful part of being alive, and you're not apologetic about it.
The shadow of Taurus is stubbornness that becomes stagnation — clinging to what is comfortable past the point where it serves you. The mature Taurus has learned that change, when it arrives, is a friend, even when it doesn't feel that way.
You'll recognize yourself in Taurus if a good meal genuinely transforms your mood, if you can sit with a single idea for hours, and if other people's urgency has never been able to make you panic.
