Taureans are extremely faithful, with a strong need for security and settled routine. Although they have Earth as their element, they can be highly romantic and sensitive when it comes to love. By nature, Taureans are slow and persistent. They settle into a comfortable groove and need a great deal of persuading before they will change. But while they generally have sturdy constitutions, their earthly attraction to the good life often leads to overindulgence. Indeed there is nothing more appealing to the Taurean palate than rich and sweet foods, and nothing more palate for them to forfeit. But discipline with eating habits is essential to their well-being. Taurus rules the thyroid glad, which regulates the body's metabolism. Unless high-calorie, fatty diets are avoided, weight problems will pague their later years.
