Personality Traits

1
StubbornTrue to their sign’s patron bull, Lunar Tauruses aren’t afraid to dig their hooves in and stand their ground (even when the pressure’s on). They’re the friend who unapologetically orders pineapple on their half of the pizza, or the sibling who refuses to upgrade their 20-year-old toaster (even if there’s a perfectly cheap model at the store). When it comes to Taurus Moons, there’s never any doubt about where they stand.
- Tip: It’s completely valid to have your own preferences and opinions, but a little bit of compromise can go a long way! Don’t be afraid to meet in the middle with your friends and loved ones—especially if you’re the main holdout.
- Reader Poll: We asked 1246 wikiHow readers what the most negative traits in Taureans are, and 53% of them said stubbornness and resistance to change. [Take Poll] You may also see that in someone with a Taurus moon.

Patient and unhurriedTaurus Moons operate on their own schedule and take as much time as they need to get from point A to point B—even if they’re trailing behind the rest of the group. This Moon sign values their sense of security above all else, and would prefer to take their time rather than living life on the spontaneous side.^{[4]

- Generally speaking, Taurus is a “fixed” sign, so it can be hard to get them to speed things up and change their pace.^{[5]

- Tip: Give yourself the freedom to take a small risk, like visiting a completely new restaurant. Stepping out of your comfort zone is a great way to broaden your horizons!^{[6]

HardworkingYes, Lunar Tauruses don’t always charge out of the gate at full speed—but when they do find a goal to focus on, they’ll keep their eye on the prize until they cross the finish line.^{[7]

- Tip: Having a strong work ethic is important, but give yourself plenty of time to rest and recharge, too! Your goals and aspirations won’t go anywhere if you take a break.
4
SensualTaurus Moons are deeply connected to their senses, like touch and taste. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a sign that enjoys a homecooked meal more than a Lunar Taurus, nor will you find a sign that appreciates a back rub more after a long day of work.
- Tip: Use the five senses to show your friends and loved ones how much you care about them! You might make breakfast in bed when your partner’s feeling under the weather, or give a neck massage to a friend who stayed up all night studying.

CaringTaurus Moons deeply care about their friends and loved ones and are happy to be a source of support for them. Catch the Lunar Taurus in your friend group offering a listening ear after you’ve had a frustrating day at work, or giving you a shoulder to cry on after a tough break-up.
- Taurus’s ruling planet is Venus, which makes Taurus Moons naturally sweet, charming, and gracious.^{[8]

- Tip: While it’s great that you’re so unconditionally supportive, don’t forget to put yourself first! It’s okay to put your phone on mute or tap out of a conversation if you need to recharge your emotional energy a little bit.

Great memoryWhoever said “an elephant never forgets” has clearly never met a Lunar bull. Taurus Moons never forget anything they hear in a conversation—you can bet that they’ll shoot you a text on your birthday and have all their school assignments turned in on time. Their good memory can be a double-edged sword, though, as they aren’t quick to forget a hurtful comment or barb.
- Tip: Learning to forgive and forget isn’t an easy process, but it’s definitely a worthwhile one. When you choose forgiveness, you’re refusing to let negativity define or control you.
7
Self-indulgentHigh-end clothing brands? Check. Business-class seats on the plane? Check. Imported chocolate and cheese? Check and check. For a Taurus Moon, an item’s quality and luxury far outweighs its price tag. This Moon sign isn’t afraid to treat themselves, and they definitely won’t cut any corners when they do.
- Tip: Making a budget or wishlist can go a long way when you’re splurging on pricier items. Try to rank the items you’d like by longevity—an expensive hoodie, for instance, could be more of a worthwhile investment than a luxury chocolate bar.
8
ReliableDid your car break down? Hopefully, you have the Lunar Taurus in your life on speed dial—they’ll stop what they’re doing and hurry to your side, jumper cables in hand. From school projects to work assignments, you can trust a Taurus Moon to have your back with just about anything.
- Tip: It’s great that you’re so dependable and supportive of your friends, but don’t feel like you have to sacrifice your own schedule and free time for someone else’s sake. It’s okay to set boundaries!
