Bad boy on the outside, #TradDad to the core: the Taurus man is a study in contrasts. He might have a fleet of motorcycles parked in the garage, like Jay Leno, or stick-and-poke tattoos dotting his arms à la Machine Gun Kelly. Nevertheless, he’s as predictable as Homer Simpson when it comes to his daily routines. Work. Home. Beer. Sleep. Repeat.
Just like the bull that symbolizes his zodiac sign, this guy runs at two speeds: charging ahead at full velocity or snoozing in the pasture (read: basically anywhere he can rest his head). As one of the zodiac’s four, responsible fixed signs, he thrives in a routine—the simpler, the better. When he’s working, he puts in 200 percent, hustling his way through the grind until the job is complete. When he’s off-duty, he needs to power down completely in order to recharge and cycle his energy back up.
Because of this, Mr. Taurus loves (needs!) a comfortable home where he can kick back after a hard day’s work. Sleeping through any level of noise is one of his superpowers. Oh, and he can pass out literally anywhere, no pillow and blanket required.
While the Taurus man can be a notorious couch potato, he is generally skilled in at least one domestic art, be it scrubbing every speck of mold off the bathroom tiles or slow-cooking a Bolognese sauce that would make your nonna weep. In his place, there will be adult furniture, like leather sofas and a bed with an actual headboard. Plus, plants, framed art, a big screen TV. It’s enough to make you start thinking, “I could live with this guy.”
Before you give up the lease to your rent-stabilized alcove studio, know this: Since Taurus is ruled by luxurious Venus, his grooming rituals are, well, elaborate. His high-end shaving products will crowd the bathroom counter, and his selection of colognes might make your dresser look like a duty-free shop. And let’s not even talk about the water bill from his marathon, 40-minute showers.
Closet real estate will be devoted to his vast collection of sneakers, blazers, leather jackets, whatever. The fashion-forward Travis Scott has had over 20 sneaker collabs with Nike and once created a capsule collection with Helmut Lang, so you get the idea.
As one of the three material-minded earth signs, he’s conscious of his worldly possessions. Taurus is the sign that rules our values and valuables. Even if he isn’t flashy, he demands quality in everything, from his food to his car to the person he spends his life with.
Fortunately, this family-oriented guy takes care of what he loves. If you settle down with him, he’ll keep you on a pedestal and stay your No. 1 fan.
Take, for example, Taurus David Beckham. He was a Manchester United icon in the late ’90s when he met wife (Aries) Victoria, who was simultaneously at the height of her Spice Girls fame. While we’re certain his chiseled abs played a part in the attraction, it was his family-oriented nature that ultimately won her over. When she celebrated her 50th birthday party in London last year, David adorably carried her out of the fête on piggyback, a romantic gesture usually reserved for newlyweds.
Some Taurus men will cling to their bachelor status, holding out until age 53, like Taurus George Clooney. Ultimately, their Venus-rulership makes them hopeless romantics. Once George met Amal, his resolve to stay single crumbled. Channing Tatum, another Taurus man, was as starry-eyed with ex Jenna Dewan as he is with now-fiancé Zoë Kravitz.
Love might be serious business for the Taurus man, but fatherhood is his strongest point of pride. Machine Gun Kelly has been a steady force in the life of his daughter, Casie Colson Baker, whose name is inked on his chest. She’s walked red carpets with him and appeared and advised on his albums. Travis Scott brought daughter Stormi Webster on stage with him in 2023 and patiently works on science projects with her.
If you make it into Mr. Taurus’ bullpen, plan on staying for a long time, if not forever. Change is not this man’s forte, but consistency is. While he might not be the most dramatic prospect, he’s definitely the most dependable, which is nothing to sleep on. Well, unless you’re cuddled up in his high-thread-count sheets for another blissful night in his arms.
Best Match: Scorpio
Opposite attract, and damn, it’s hot! The union of the sultry Scorpio and sensual Taurus creates the enviable balance of stability and excitement. Scorpio can get jealous, and Taurus is possessive. As long as they rein that in, this is the match of a lifetime.
Worst Match: Gemini
These next-door neighbor signs are often attracted to each other’s vastly different styles. After the initial buzz, fast-moving, kinetic Gemini can exhaust the steady Bull who might drain their resources supporting the Twin’s never-ending stream of big ideas.
