> edit this Taurus
Do you think with the character we possess it will be easy to fall in love and if so with which sign that fit the entire chart.
When I read stuff about the Taurus sign I cant help but laugh, its like it's written about me. Some of the signs traits are so spot on its freaky.
> edit this HELLO!
David Beckham was born May 2nd...and hes a pretty big celebrity!
> edit this ...
and what about!?....
Uma Thurman Jessica Alba Penelope Cruz Renee Zellweger Cher Janet Jackson Lance Bass Pierce Brosnan Barbra Streisand The Rock Carmen Electra George Clooney! Kelly Clarkson.... thats just to name a few. Do some research before you claim there are barely any big celebrities that are a certain sign.
- We are talking of celebrities that done something more for the world than just appear in some film :-) --Nate 08:31, 12 December 2008 (MST)

> edit this Stereotypically labelled stubborrness
The idea of taureans being characterized as stubborn is a very stereotypical view of this sign. As a taurus myself, I think it would be polite to use words like "preserved" instead of stubborn. I for one would be harder, if not impossible, to convince if one were to call me stubborn. On that note, my senses don't take well to insensitive remarks. Don't forget the practicalities and earth senses of my taurean character. Perhaps magic is another gift I possess considering my sign is the dragon (May 16th, 1976).
- "Stubborn" is not a dirty word! As a Taurus when I was growing up people, more than anything else kept telling me I'm stubborn. Then when I got interested in astrology the emphasis on Taurus' stubbornness is one of the things that caused me to take astrology more seriously, because the dots got connected in my mind. Ignoring the "stubbornness" of Taurus would be a disservice to the readers. You should also consider that your Mercury is actually in
Gemini (see Gemini Mercury), so you are a mix of these signs as with this Mercury you would actually have the thinking patterns of a Gemini (eg. more open-minded). You are also sensitised by a Sun conjunct Venus. --Nate 13:33, 2 March 2009 (MST)
By dirty do you mean profane? Since when are profanities the only insulting words?
- It is not supposed to be insulting, you are being over-sensitive about it. I know a lot of Tauruses and they don't find this insulting. Actually I recall once seeing a competition going on in a forum between some Tauruses and other signs about who is more stubborn (I remember there were some Aries people there). If anything, stubbornness infers strength and conviction, therefore many people want to be it. --Nate 00:24, 4 March 2009 (MST)
Maybe it isn't supposed to be insulting. But, some may see it that way. When people called me stubborn I got pretty pissed. They make it sound like a bad thing. Just try to understand where my views are coming from. Don't get me wrong. I think stubborrness can be a good thing, can keep you out of trouble. However, people who say it bluntly don't imply that. I don't disagree with you completely.
- Sure it's a bad thing for them, it means they lose power over you. That can be very annoying to them, that's why they say it with such annoyance and frustration. In means they basically have to capitulate to your strength. It shows weakness on their part: it shows that they are unable to use communication effectually to convince. They do not understand the proper way to use communication to get the point across, and that is respectfully and rationally. It is the earth signs which are the most rational. I've noticed many people strongly influenced by earth become computer programmers - one cannot program computers with half-logics. We carry this through to all of our communications. I am going to try and smoothe that point over in the article tonight. --Nate 10:30, 5 March 2009 (MST)
While this debate continues and leads to newly positive views of taurean lifestyle you are missing the most important point of this debate. Labelling taureans as EXCLUSIVELY stubborn. DO NOT forget that. These are the websites speaking now, not me. If the world will hate my taurean character then the hell with the world.
- Many websites' description do revolve around that trait, I agree. That's why we made AstrologyInDepth.com, to get beyond the silly superficiality that plagues this field. Taurus' most important trait for me is its great practicality. I think it is the most practical sign, but its practicality is also simplified, unlike the other earth signs which although are practical too, still tend to complicate things a bit. I think Taurus is a great source for advice, and Tauruses often like to help others in this way. Tauruses get a kick when they feel they have helped another. It's a great feeling for us. --Nate 20:32, 5 March 2009 (MST)

salam
..THOUGH MY SIGN IS NOT TAURUS.. its nice to read about taurus here.BUT taurus's DETERMINATION & GREAT PATIENCE is mistaken as LAZYNESS here.this mistake is repeated a number of times.
PLEASE complete the compatibility chart. its done only with selected signs.
the style of the whole writing,relevant examples of FAMOUS couples,etc made the writing more CLEAR, DISTINCT & INTERESTING.
THANK YOU. & ORGANIZRES MUST keep up the good work!! though everyone's accessto edit makes it LESS RELIABLE.
- Actually most Tauruses do complain of problems with laziness, especially when they don't wholeheartedly "feel like" doing something or they get enticed by a relaxed, leisurely status quo. This can grow to become a big problem in more passive astrology charts. Tauruses are more determined and patient in things that they really care about, things that are truly close to their hearts. There are exceptions to this and Tauruses who have a particularly energetic chart may not relate with the laziness side of Taurus' delineation at all. That however is rare. --Nate 06:21, 13 May 2009 (MDT)
