1
Reliable Venus Taurus, you’re quite possibly the most loyal and dependable sign in the entire zodiac. You’re not prone to making promises you don’t intend to keep, and you appreciate the same respect from others. You don’t give your affection away freely and may even appear reserved at first, but when you do, it’s for keeps.
- Your friends and romantic partners turn to you for emotional reassurance and validation. You’re always there to offer a kind but wise word of advice—in addition, most likely, to a cup of tea and a hug.
2
Sensual You’re easily taken in by anything that engages your senses: music, food, textures, fragrances, beauty. You’re particularly drawn to cozy comforts like candles, blankets, a hot dinner, or a loving embrace. But anything that ignites your senses will grab your attention: a waft of a stranger’s unique perfume, say, or experimental music played on an unexpected instrument, like a saw.
- Domestic at heart, you prioritize a comfortable, beautiful living space: “Venus represents art, love, beauty, aesthetics, and money,” Angel Eyedealism says.^{[2]

- Your free time is likely spent relaxing in a comfortable space—reading a good book in bed, walking through the botanical gardens and taking in the sights and smells, or cuddling with your lover.

Stubborn Taurus is represented by the bull, and like the bull, you stick to your guns, for better or worse.^{[3]

Research source} It’s often for better—you’re steadfast and stand by your values—but on occasion, your stubbornness can arise from pride or a refusal to back down, even when you should. Next time you feel compelled to go down with the ship, ask yourself why: is it because you really believe it’s the right thing to do, or because you just don’t want to give in? Reliability is a great trait to have, but remember, it’s not weak to back down now and then.
- Your stubbornness can also sometimes result from not wanting to diverge from your strict routine. You’re a creature of habit, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with that—but don’t be afraid to let loose and shake things up once in a while.
- Reader Poll: We asked 1060 wikiHow readers what the most negative traits in Taureans are, and 55% of them said stubbornness and resistance to change. [Take Poll] So, that's something to be aware of.

Venus in Taurus Love & Relationships

1
You’re constant and dependable in relationships. Loyal Taurus Venus, you’re picky when it comes to love, but when you meet someone you like, you’re in it for the long haul. You’re cozy and domestic and loyal as Horton hatching the egg. You make your intentions known from the get-go—and you expect the same from your partners.
- Being such a sensual sign, you gleefully shower your beloved in gifts, especially pleasure-oriented things like delicious food and cozy blankets.
- Your ideal date night is “Netflix and chill”: order in your fave food, snuggle up on the couch with your dear one, and watch a comfy movie (we’re thinking something by Miyazaki, but it’s your call).
2
You can be a bit controlling in love. Venus Taurus, you’re one of the most romantic signs in the zodiac—but sometimes that means you don’t see your partners as people, but as objects of wish fulfillment. (We call it like we see it!) Relationships take compromise, vulnerability, and the ability to see your partner as an independent person with their own mind and goals—are you willing to take the plunge into the dark and mysterious sea of love?
- It makes sense that Taurus Venus is the most romantic placement: as Angel Eyedealism points out, “Venus [is] the ruler of the signs, Taurus and Libra," so Venus is right at home in Taurus.^{[4]

- Because you prefer to keep things slow and steady, a partner who is more high-energy or flighty may make you feel a little threatened or possessive. But a fussed-over flower will never grow! Practice letting go of your control in relationships, and see how your love blossoms.

Venus in Taurus Sex

You’re a sensual lover. Slow and steady wins the race, eh? Taurus Venus’s love language is likely physical affection (that or gift giving), so when it comes to sex, you’re all about taking your time and really exploring your lover’s body. For you, sex isn’t about the end goal (though that’s important too); it’s about spending time with another person, experiencing bodily contact, gazing into one another’s eyes, and becoming one.
- The setting is everything. You’re the type to pull out all the stops: silk sheets, chocolate bonbons, candles, champagne, maybe a little mood music. And afterward, you’re all about cuddling and maybe enjoying a relaxing sitcom together in bed.
- You’re probably a little vanilla, preferring routine and predictability over spontaneity, but pleasure is the name of the game, so you’re open to spicing things up in bed if it’ll enhance your partner’s pleasure. Who knows? You might be surprised at how much you enjoy letting loose and trying something new.

Capricorn Venus or Virgo Venus are good matches for Taurus Venus. Fellow earth signs Cap and Virgo will complement Taurus Venus well: they’re grounded and reliable, which is what Taurus Venus craves above all, but their practical, logical natures may help balance out Taurus’s romantic brain.
- Of course, Taurus Venus also craves romance and warmth, which a Cap Venus may struggle to provide: as Angel Eyedealism notes, "There's no colder sign than Capricorn.... Capricorn is so staid and prudent and conservative."^{[5]
