As a Taurus rising sign, you give the impression of a stable, reliable, and thoughtful person. You don't like being rushed, at least not in public or in the presence of other people. You also don't like when others try to impose their opinions on you - you stick to what you believe in, no matter how much they try to convince you.
Unexpected changes hinder you and you feel best in situations that are under your control and when you know what to expect. You need time to adapt to changes, and therefore you do not go along with innovations easily, but tend to stick to the old and familiar.
You are determined and stubborn, but at the same time practical, patient, loyal, and hardworking, as well as undemanding, quiet, and rather passive, sometimes too comfortable or even lazy. At the same time, you may have a greater possessive instinct than some other zodiac signs, which is why jealousy and excessive materialism can sometimes appear. This means that both, finances and close people, are important to you. As a negative side, you might be more prone to clinging in relationships.
Since the ruling planet of Taurus is Venus and Taurus is an earth sign, you are open to sensual pleasures and appreciate beauty on the one hand, but on the other hand you are also practical and you have the ability to put your own hands on when something needs to be done. You can appreciate well-prepared cooking and rich food, and you won't say no to some sinfully tempting sweets. As a result, you can also gain weight more easily. You may also have a talent in the arts or music or be green-fingered and enjoy gardening. You love to create and build and make things grow and see the practical results of your hard work. As a fixed sign, you also have the perseverance and willpower to achieve success and complete ideas started by others.
In appearance, rather more corpulent build and above average height. With a round face and slightly rounder (rougher) neck. The eyes are dark, big, and thoughtful. Hair usually dark. The gait can be decisive and cautious. Since the sign of Taurus rules the throat, there may be problems in the throat area or with the voice.
