In honor of Taurus season being well underway, today we want to debunk some of the most popular Taurus myths out there that give those Taurus men and Taurus women out there a woefully misconstrued reputation.
Zodiac myths often develop from people (and even some astrologers) who make blanket statements that don’t give enough insight into the full nature of a sign or take into account the rest of one’s natal chart. The language used to describe some zodiac signs can be misleading when it doesn’t allow for the fact that each individual chooses how they use the energy available to them through their sign and other chart placements.

For example, someone who is ultra-romantic could use that energy to be a considerate and fun partner or they could get clingy and codependent quickly. This article is going to help you see that there are more dimensions to the characteristics you may have heard about Taurus. This will help you see the truth beyond the myths about Taurus so that you can make up your own mind about each person rather than reducing them to just one part of their layered personality.
We know that Taurus is one of the most loving and nurturing of all the zodiac signs. After reading this, we hope you’ll see your Taurean friends and family (and if YOU are a Taurus, you’ll see yourself) in a different light.
They are not very type-A and it’s probably type-A people that are calling them lazy not realizing that not everyone wants to be the best at everything and win all the accolades by pushing themselves to the point of burnout. Taurus likes to have a comfortable, secure life, but they don’t need the public recognition that some of the other signs crave.
Creativity for a Taurus can be coming up with ways to create romance, finding common ground with friends throughout the changes that life brings, or finding inspiration in simple tasks as a monk does. The creative spark of a Taurus is packaged differently but it is still there. You may visit the home of a painter and find it disheveled but then you visit the home of a Taurus and the home itself is their canvas down to the curves of the flower beds and the scents of the candles.

Taureans are great listeners and while it may seem like they push back on everything, they will continue to think things over and consider what you say. They don’t have the ego that other signs have because they don’t need constant praise and affection. They are more kind-hearted than their reputation would lead people to believe and they do care about making other people feel heard.
While they may seem like they aren’t down to try new things, they enjoy travel and just like to travel with a plan instead of at the last minute. They also are very good at adapting when it comes to helping people they care about at a moment’s notice. They will move heaven and earth if someone they care about is unhappy. They are so caring that they put others’ needs before their own and that urge to help trumps their desires to enjoy the simple pleasures which is also a part of their sign. While it may seem like they don’t let loose and go with the flow, this trait could be seen as a heightened ability to manage their own stress and not give in to peer pressure.

They seem to have their own set of standards for what jobs they like and where they live which is their way of creating a positive flow of energy for themselves. They are grounded but also intuitive and their slow decision making shows they are actually quite psychic. They may just not be the ones calling attention to themselves for something they are born with.
The picture continues to widen and become more specific as you dig deeper and get to know more about astrology. For example, the primal triad, which is the Sun sign, the Moon sign, and the rising sign, reveals much more about each person’s personality. Then you can get into their birth chart even more and find out what signs show up in which planets at the time of their birth and what signs show up in what houses. That will reveal why that person who is perhaps a Taurus is so much different than another person who is a Taurus. If you don’t understand someone or yourself look to the birth chart and it will help make sense of what may seem inexplicable.
