Tauruses are the second zodiac sign, known for their dependability and loyalty to their friends and family. As an Earth sign, Tauruses are practical and grounded. They are a fixed sign, so they stay focused on their goals, and can be strong-willed. This behavior is represented in their symbol, the bull. Ruled by Venus, with influence by Venus, the goddess of love, Tauruses particularly love people, food, and the arts. Befriending a Taurus is the recipe for a committed and loyal relationship.
