A bad boy on the outside, #TradDad through and through, the Taurus man is a collection of opposites. He may have a fleet of motorcycles parked in his garage like Jay Leno, or his arms may be covered in stick-and-poke tattoos like Machine Gun Kelly. Yet 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 has two speeds: charging ahead at full speed or snoozing in the pasture (read: basically anywhere he can lay 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 gives 200 percent and pushes through the grind until the job is done. When he’s off duty, he needs to completely shut down to recharge and rebuild.
For this reason, Mr. Taurus loves (needs!) a cozy home where he can relax after a hard day at work. Being able to sleep despite any level of noise is one of his superpowers. Oh, and he can literally fall asleep anywhere, without a pillow or blanket.
Although the Taurus man can be a notorious homebody, he’s generally mastered at least one domestic art, whether it’s scrubbing every speck of mold off the bathroom tiles or slow-cooking a Bolognese sauce that would make your nonna cry. In his place, there’s grown-up furniture like leather couches and a bed with a proper headboard. Plus, plants, framed art, a big-screen TV. It’s enough to make you think, “I could live with this guy.”
Before you give up the lease on your rent-controlled studio in an alcove, know this: Because Taurus is ruled by luxurious Venus, his grooming rituals are, well, elaborate. His high-end shaving products will overflow the bathroom counter and his selection of cologne could make your dresser look like a duty-free shop. And let’s not even talk about the water bill for his marathon, 40-minute showers.
In his closet he will have plenty of space for his large collection of sneakers, blazers, leather jackets, etc. The fashion-conscious Travis Scott has over 20 sneaker collaborations with Nike and once created a capsule collection with Helmut Langso that you have an idea of it.
As one of the three materialistic-minded earth signs, he is conscious of his worldly possessions. Taurus is the sign that governs our values and valuables. While he is not ostentatious, he demands quality in everything from his food to his car to the person he spends his life with.
Luckily, this family-oriented guy cares about what he loves, and if you settle down with him, he will put you on a pedestal and remain your biggest fan.
Take Taurus David Beckham, for example. He was a Manchester United icon in the late 90s when he met his wife (Aries) Victoria, who was at the height of her fame with the Spice Girls. While we’re sure his chiseled abs played a part in the attraction, it was his family-orientated nature that ultimately won her over. When she celebrated her 50th birthday party in London last year, David carried her out of the party in a gorgeous way Piggybacka romantic gesture usually reserved for newlyweds.
Some Taurus men cling to their bachelor status and hold on to it until age 53, like Taurus man George Clooney. Ultimately, their Venus rule makes them hopeless romantics. When George met Amal, his resolve to remain single shattered. Channing Tatum, another Taurus man, was just as smitten with his ex Jenna Dewan as he was with his current fiancée Zoë Kravitz.
Love may be a serious matter for the Taurus man, but fatherhood is his greatest pride. Machine Gun Kelly was a constant force in his daughter’s life, Casie Colson Bakerwhose name is inked on his chest. She has walked red carpets with him and has collaborated and advised on his albums. Travis Scott brought his daughter Stormi Webster on stage in 2023 and patiently works on scientific projects with her.
If you make it into Mr. Taurus’ bullpen, plan on staying for a long time, if not forever. Change isn’t this man’s strong suit, but consistency is. He may not be the most spectacular prospect, but he’s definitely the most reliable, which is not to be underestimated. Well, unless you snuggle up in his high thread count sheets for another blissful night in his arms.
Best Match: Scorpio
Opposites attract, and damn, it’s hot! The union of sensual Scorpio and sensual Taurus creates that enviable balance of stability and excitement. Scorpio can get jealous and Taurus is possessive. As long as they keep that in check, this is the union of a lifetime.
Worst match: Gemini
These neighboring signs are often attracted to each other’s completely different styles. After the initial rush, the fast-paced, dynamic Gemini can wear out the steady Taurus, who may exhaust his resources by supporting Gemini’s never-ending stream of great ideas.
