If you’re a Taurus, you need to know two things about your sign: Taurus is ruled by Venus (the planet of love, pleasure, beauty, and money) and symbolized by the bull (placid and calm one minute, raging and stampeding the next). Taurus is a misunderstood sign, sometimes lazily characterized as a stubborn, deliberating, possessive homebody. Actually, y’all are deep thinkers and analysts who spend such a long time coming to your conclusions and thinking everything through TWICE that you can seem slow (especially when compared to a Gemini or Aquarius). But really, you're just careful, slow, and steady. You'll keep moving along at your own pace until you achieve your goals, long after everyone else has given up.
What’s more, Taurus is a zodiac sign that everyone can get along with. They’re pleasure-seeking, laid-back (until they’re not…), and always ready for a good time. And about that “not”: You do often come off as stubborn because you don’t like changing your mind. Well, it took you a lot of energy to decide on your POV, and you’ve probably already mentally countered the arguments they think will sway you. Don’t underestimate the bull, okay!
People with significant Taurus placements love security, surety, comfort, companionship, pleasure, and indulgence. You’re stoic and strong, confident in your own skin, and you make great company (especially for spa days, shopping, fine dining, or chill days at home). You forge lasting, loyal relationships, and you never give up on anything you put your mind to. You know that hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. That’s exactly why you’ll find so many rich, successful, and famous Tauruses out there!
Tauruses need extra crystal help when it comes to thriving in fast-paced, demanding environments. They also benefit from crystals to help them relax from the stress of perfectionism and the pressure to exceed others’ expectations (or their own). Tauruses are known for their stamina but can struggle when a situation calls for a short burst of high-octane activity or thinking, so crystals that sharpen clarity and boost energy are great allies. Free advice: Taureans are into being at home and nurturing themselves in the safety and privacy of their own space. Therefore, dotting these crystals in and around their living spaces will help level out the vibes, promote harmony, soothe ruffled energies, and generally make the sanctuary feel even more welcoming and protective.
Tauruses don’t really need any help living their best lives, but if you’re looking for a little boost, these crystals will help sharpen mental focus, ground you, protect you, enhance your sense of security, and tons of other good stuff. Also, aren’t they pretty? You love pretty things.
