What’s a Taurus?
Between April 20 and May 20, some of the most loyal, nurturing people in the Zodiac are born, and they are born under the Zodiac Sign of Taurus. They are ruled by the planet Venus. Venus makes them affectionate, and focused on the people who they love. It also makes them love beauty and harmony. This makes Taurases want to surround themselves with things and people they find comforting and pleasant. They strategically fill their homes with all the furniture, food, and things that create the absolute perfect atmosphere. They also set things up carefully so the people they choose to have in their lives feel just as at home there as Taurases do.
They are a Fixed Zodiac Sign. This means they are patient, persistent, and focused. This makes them loyal to a fault, and it instills a high level of predictability in them. This also means that they carefully research or pay attention to things until they find what they believe is the best way to do things. Then, watch out. You won't sway them from what they feel is right easily! Some people don’t like this about Taurases because they want to control what a Taurus does. Sometimes, though, Taurus knows best, and you would be better off doing things their way. Read more about Taurus here: Taurus Traits | Star Sign in the Spotlight
Taurus's Five Best Traits
While the purpose of this article is to explore the worst traits of Taurases, it's not fair to talk about someone's bad traits before you talk about the good ones. Besides, it would probably hurt a Taurus's feelings if we didn't tell everyone how awesome they are and we don't want to hurt someone's feelings who's that awesome. From being highly protective individuals to being reliable and very comforting, Taurases really are terrific individuals, so read on to find out more.
Protective
When a Taurus takes you under their wing, you are set for life. They won't be protective of you unless they really care about you. If you are fortunate enough that a Taurus decides to take you in, there is nothing they won't do for you. You will never be alone. You will never need for anything because they will take care of you with their last breath. Few other signs have the ability to be so caring and so focused on being protective as a Taurus does.
Reliable
Taurases are reliable for more than just their protectiveness. If they say they will do something, very little will keep them from it. Once they give you their word, you know you can count on them. They say they're going to do. They are so predictable, you will know what they're going to do before they even get started. A lot of people find that very comforting and helpful. Some signs like Libra or Sagittarius can be more spontaneous or do unexpected things, but not a Taurus. They will be the ones who always show up and they will always do it the same way.

Thrifty
Tauruses are one sign that's very good at saving things. They're good at saving money, saving gifts you give them, saving the date of the next event that they plan to take you to, and they save things. If you need something, ask a Taurus if they have it stashed away because they just might. They understand that it's better to save than to throw things away and need it later. They will also save things for you if you don't want to keep them because they know those things might come in handy sometime. Who cares if they've held on to the same expired pack of rice for five years? Rice is rice.
Great Homemakers
Venus instills a great love for the comforts of home in Taurases. They have a talent for finding the best furniture, the best building materials, the best goods for the kitchen, the best bedding, and the best of everything for their homes. Unlike some signs, they won't blow a lot of money on it. They understand that the finer things are not necessarily expensive things, but things that meet needs. They're also great hosts and hostesses, and they are experts at making other people feel at home in their home because they will think of everything, accommodate every preference, and spend a lot of time making sure they do it. One thing they're not that great at is understanding that less is more, but there is an article for that and you can read it here: Is Less More? The Case for Less
Comforting
Taurases have an intuitive sense and they can tell when someone needs comfort. They know how to listen to a friend in need, and they know just what to do to make things better. They can soothe hurt feelings, show up at your house with homemade chicken soup when you're sick, and pick you up and take you out when you've been feeling lonesome. Taurases believe that feeling good in life is very important and if they care about you, they want to make sure that you feel as good as they can make you feel.
Taurus’s Ten Worst Traits
Before you decide that a Taurus is the answer to all your dreams and prayers, there are some things you should know about them. They are terribly stubborn and think they know everything. Their home making can dissolve into hoarding, and their emotional reliability to comfort you can make them downright suffocating. That's just the beginning. Read on to find ten of the worst traits that Taurases embody.
Stubborn
If you look up the word stubborn in the dictionary, there will probably be a photograph of a Taurus there. They have one way of doing things and they don't care if it's the wrong way. It's their way, so that's how they're going to do it. You can talk until you're blue in the face trying to explain to them that it's day when they think it's night. When a Taurus digs their heels in, you are in for one hell of a battle to try and get them to do anything else.

Know-It-Alls
Not only are Tauruses stubborn about what they think is the best way to do something, they're going to go out of their way to brag about how they know their way is best. To be fair, they didn't just wake up one day with an opinion of what was best. They learned some things, observed some things, and tried other things first. Sometimes Taurus does know best. It can be hard to eat humble pie and admit that they're right when they're acting like know-it-alls about it, but give their way a try. If they're wrong, tell them to stick it in their eye.
Obsessive
Tauruses can border on obsessiveness if they don't go all the way overboard and become obsessive. They might be obsessive about doing something one way, or they might obsess over you. If a Taurus is obsessing over a way that they always do something, try to be understanding that they are a Fixed Sign and they have found the way that they think is best. If a Taurus is obsessing over you and it makes you feel uncomfortable, try to talk it out with them. The last thing they want to do is make someone they care about uncomfortable. If it's your ex and you can't get rid of them, make yourself completely inaccessible to them. If they don't have access to you, they can't come around.
Hoarders
Part of the reason Taurases keep things is because they are sentimental creatures and everything you give them makes them feel loved. They don't care if it's a picture that you drew when you were five years old and it's the ugliest thing you've ever seen. That is displayed prominently in the middle of the living room until the day they die. Taurases can overdo it with collecting things because they think that it will be useful in the future sometime. As difficult as it is to accept, if you don't live with them, it's really none of your business unless it's a fire hazard. If you live with them, you better pack your bags because they're going to keep their hoard. One Sign that can't live like that and will probably pack and leave is Virgo, and you can read about them here: Virgo Traits | Star Sign in The Spotlight
Homebodies
Taurases spend a lot of time building the perfect home. Their home is their sanctuary, their castle, and the safe place of everybody who they love. It can be like pulling teeth to get them to leave home if they don't have to. It can also be boring when fun things are happening away from the Taurus nest and you wanna take your Taurus along with you. Compromise can get them out the door. If it's something they're interested in doing and they like you enough, they'll go. Sometimes. You have to agree to hang out at the house with them just as often, though, because it's in their nature to want to stay home, and comfortable in their comfy house clothes.
Explosive Tempers
If you've never seen your Taurus have a temperamental meltdown, hold on to your hat. It's a doozy. Each Taurus is different and what triggers each is different. Some Taurases get mad often. Other ones are more laid back. Be aware that even the calmest Taurus will take off your head once they get really upset. They feel like it takes a lot to upset them and if you push them, it's your fault if they erupt. You can't control this. So find out what pushes their buttons first before you commit.

Suffocating
If an obsessive Taurus is obsessing over you, they will want to attach themselves at the hip to you. They will want to know where you are at all times. They will call you for pointless conversation while you're trying to work, and they will expect you to take them everywhere you go. Explaining to them that you are a separate human being, not an organ that's growing inside their body might not work. If you feel suffocated by a Taurus, there is little you can do about that. Some people love that, so maybe you're not their kind of person and you should get the hint.
Sexually Demanding
Tauruses can be very pushy people. When they are sexually attracted to someone, they let them know. It's a good policy, but sometimes they can become highly demanding. They want sex on their terms, when they want it, and how often they want it. Let's be fair for a minute, though. So does everybody else. If you feel like a Taurus is being too demanding sexually, speak up and tell them what you want too. If they like you enough to want to share sensuality with you, they will listen to what you have to say and play fair. Read about the sex style of all the Zodiac signs here: Sex and the Signs
Sticks in the Mud
Taurases are set in their ways. That is not your imagination. It can be exhausting at worst, but sometimes it's just a little boring. Tauruses aren't the only people who do everything one way. If you don't like this and can't get used to it, be fair, and be honest about it. Tauruses aren't for everyone. If they’re not, admit it. Somebody else will gladly step in and take your place with a lovable, reliable Taurus.
Grudge Holders
Remember how we said Taurases have tempers? Well, if they get mad enough, they're going to remember it. Forever. You might say they're holding a grudge and they might say you did what you did and they're not going to forget it. Taurases are no more or no less petty than any other sign. If they're being petty, you're going to have to point it out. If you really screwed up, admit it and make up for it. It's worth it to keep them happy. After all, grudges aren't always a bad thing. You can find out why here: Are Grudges Good or Bad?
Reliable, and focused on being comforting to the people they love, Taurases are some of the most wonderful people. When they're having a temper meltdown, are being sexually demanding, or hold grudges about petty things they might seem like the worst. If you're loved by a Taurus, you really do know what love is. You just have to deal with their worst traits so that you can enjoy their best traits. Hang in there, they're worth it…usually.
