Anyway, here's an interesting excerpt on Taureans (got it from one of the many astrological sites):
Traditional
Taurus Traits
Patient and reliable
Warmhearted and loving
Persistent and determined
Placid and security loving
On the dark side....
Jealous and possessive
Resentful and inflexible
Self-indulgent and greedy
The Taurean's characteristics are solidity, practicality, extreme determination and strength of will - no one will ever drive them, but they will willingly and loyally follow a leader they trust. They are stable, balanced, conservative good, law-abiding citizens and lovers of peace, possessing all the best qualities of the bourgeoisie. As they have a sense of material values and physical possessions, respect for property and a horror of falling into debt, they will do everything in their power to maintain the security of the status quo and be somewhat hostile to change.
Mentally, they are keen-witted and practical more often than intellectual, but apt to become fixed in their opinions through their preference for following accepted and reliable patterns of experience. Their character is generally dependable, steadfast, prudent, just, firm and unshaken in the face of difficulties. Their vices arise from their virtues, going to extremes on occasion,such as sometimes being too slavish to the conventions they admire.
On rare occasions a Taurean may be obstinately and exasperatingly self-righteous, unoriginal, rigid, ultraconservative, argumentative, querulous bores, stuck in a self-centered rut. They may develop a brooding resentment through nursing a series of injuries received and, whether their characters are positive or negative, they need someone to stroke their egos with a frequent, "Well Done!" Most Taureans are not this extreme though.
They are faithful and generous friends with a great capacity for affection, but rarely make friends with anyone outside their social rank, to which they are ordinarily excessively faithful. In the main, they are gentle, even tempered, good natured, modest and slow to anger, disliking quarreling and avoiding ill-feeling. If they are provoked, however, they can explode into violent outbursts of ferocious anger in which they seem to lose all self-control. Equally unexpected are their occasional sallies into humor and exhibitions of fun.
Although their physical appearance may belie it, they have a strong aesthetic taste, enjoying art, for which they may have a talent, beauty (recoiling from anything sordid or ugly) and music. They may have a strong, sometimes unconventional, religious faith. Allied to their taste for all things beautiful is a love for the good things of life pleasure, comfort, luxury and good food and wine and they may have to resist the temptation to over indulgence, leading to drunkenness, gross sensuality, and covetousness.
Those in italics is what I found are quite true! I always wait for the green man to come on the traffic light before I crosses the road. Yeah, I admit.. I am egoistical at times. Pride is my downfall. And yes, I can be your good friend. But if you ever betray my trust... that's it. Once is enough! I hate being confrontational, so you'd find me grumbling behind.. and I think that's also quite bad bah...Yeah, my friends will tell you that most of the time they find me good humored and mild natured. But those who has seen my temper.. quite shocking too. Hehe, recently I found out I had an eye for good stuffs. Meaning, when I can easily pick something that suits you. Be it clothes or other stuffs that I think you may like. But the funniest thing is, that eye doesn't work for myself. Therefore, you'd find me in the most mismatched outfit! Sigh.
Here are somemore on the work side:
In their work, Taureans are industrious and good craftspeople, and are not afraid of getting their hands dirty. They are reliable, practical, methodical and ambitious, within a framework of obedience to superiors. They are at their best in routine positions of trust and responsibility, where there is little need of urgency and even less risk of change, and a pension at the end. Yet they are creative and good founders of enterprises where the rewards of their productiveness come from their own work and not that of others.
So bosses, you see.. we Taureans don't mind routine work (But we do need changes once in a while.. but nothing too drastic). Too much, you'd find us packing... I think. Sometimes beggars can't be choosers (I'm saying for myself)
Summary:

* Stability
* Being Attracted
* Things Natural
* Time to Ponder
* Comfort and Pleasure
DISLIKES

So Taureans out there, do you feel likewise? Or is it just me?
