Zodiac Sign: Taurus

## Traits/Facts/Personality

They won't rush into a relationship with just anyone

Taureans are the Hufflepuffs of the zodiac. As friends, they're trustworthy and dependable. Unlike those sneaky Slytherins, the Hufflepuffs would *never* cheat in a Quidditch match or lie to you about that sweater you think looks cute but actually makes you look like a soggy marshmallow. Bottom line: get yourself a Taurus friend, stat.

In their professional lives, Taureans are patient, reliable, and *very* thorough. When given a specific task, they'll address it with laser-sharp focus until it's complete. If you've got a Taurus employee or coworker, *this* is the person you want working on major projects that need a meticulous hand.

That said, this intense concentration can make it difficult for the Taurus sign to focus on more than one task at a time, so it's usually best if they can work through a project in its entirety before starting on another.

Generally speaking, Taureans enjoy making money (it's what allows them to live in luxury, after all!) and will therefore work diligently to maintain a sense of stability. You can always count on a Taurus to be a faithful employee, coworker, or boss!

If you have a Taurus in your life (or are crushing on one!) but aren't sure how to connect with them, don't worry—we've got you covered.

The first thing to remember is that Taureans love to work hard *and* love to unwind just as hard. So if you can, bond with a Taurus over a shared work ethic and a love of chillaxing (Netflix, anyone?).

Second, be prepared to answer some tough questions. If a Taurus is considering letting you into their world, they're going to vet you by grilling you. Remember that not just anyone gets past these Bulls! If you can hold your own, chances are pretty good you just made a new (Taurean) friend.

Finally, expect some stubbornness. Taureans are not always going to be willing to change their ways or minds just because you're their friend, partner, boss, etc.

This applies to Taurean children as well, who might even go so far as to challenge your authority as a parent. If that's the case, it's a good idea to have a serious sit-down talk with them to explain your point of view and, in turn, listen to theirs.

## Taurus Magic

The natural world is a powerful reminder of the presence of magic, and Taurus can tap into the cyclical energy of the Earth through nature-centric magic. This form of magic uses the seasons and cycles of the sun, moon, and even the time of day to inform its spell work.

This type of work is best performed outdoors in nature so that the practitioner is able to clear their mind and focus on the intention at hand. Sometimes these spells may take an entire season to work, which goes well with the slow-and-steady-wins-the-race mentality that Taurus treasures.

Taurus supports the sort of stability that comes from having healthy, fertile livestock, a verdant garden, plenty of willing help and the means to keep it all going. When the moon is in Taurus, this is the best time to work magic related to love (the stable sort, think marriage and family), large purchases – especially real estate and tools, general material gain, career or long-term financial stability, any kind of stability, any kind of material increase including in your garden. This is also a good time for healing magic related to the body parts ruled by Taurus which include the throat, neck and ears.
