A closer look
Taurus is an earth sign ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and immense material wealth, which translates into a personality type that values extreme comfort, gourmet food, and absolute stubbornness. Astrologers claim this Venusian influence makes them deeply connected to the sensory world, which is a highly sophisticated way of saying they really like expensive bed sheets and refuse to go camping. Because they are a fixed earth sign, once a Taurus sits down on a high-quality velvet sofa, moving them requires a forklift and a major bribe. The fact that they are ruled by the planet of aesthetics gives them full permission to be incredibly lazy and financially irresponsible as long as the money is being spent on artisanal cheese and luxury skincare products
