Advantages

Taurus the bull. Brave, blunt and pulls no punches. Taurus knows what it wants and is not afraid to go after it, in the quickest, most direct way. Taurus is powerful and stubborn and must have his or her own way, no matter what. Independence, self reliance, a strong will are all the things you would expect from Taurus, but Taureans are also highly intelligent, thirsting for knowledge and information which they store away for future reference should the opportunity arise to put it into practical use. They are also very generous and are in their element when fighting for a lost cause as they are always the last to give up.  

Things to watch out for

Taureans don't like obstacles, and are often quick to anger when something stands in their way. They also don't like being told what to do, and do not appreciate being manipulated in any way. Because of their strong natures, they can be unreasonable at times and unwilling to excuse weakness in others. Ironically, Taureans themselves can be quite indulgent when it comes to the pleasures of life. They like to eat, drink and be merry, but when they make a decision to give something up, their willpower is unmatched.
