The main symbol for Taurus is a bull. If you do not know much about the bull, here is a brief look into the character of people who are born into this sign:

As stated on astrology.com, Taurus’s typically like to be comforted and like being surrounded by pleasing things. They are one of the most strong willed and purposeful signs of the zodiac. Taurus’s are very connected with nature itself and have love for the beautiful outdoors. It is easy to put a smile on their face, but they dislike pressure being put against them. When things go downhill, this will provoke a fiesty temper, but they are still loving and loyal. They also can be lazy, stubborn, and self indulgent, but this does not change the fact that they are trustworthy, stable, and humane in many ways.
