Investing in a Relationship

Being in a relationship with a Taurus Moon offers many benefits, not least of which is a partner who is focused on creating well being for the partnership. They are sensitive, caring, tender, sensual and can be natural romantics, although their practical side can dampen this at times, especially once the relationship is established.

They admire dependability and faithfulness, which they also aspire to - as long as their sensual nature does not get the better of them. Taurus Moons can be strong both emotionally and physically and have a stamina that helps them to be patient and tolerant. Their steadiness in relationships is a great asset, and when they give their hearts they are solid in their commitment. They naturally understand the power of commitment and the growth it brings. To them it's an investment in people, and worthwhile. Once they are ready, they are happy to settle down and are family-oriented.

Despite their practical side, Taurus Moons have delicate feelings, although they like to present a somewhat stoic face if they are hurt. Their trusting nature can be abused, however, and so they need to select a partner who will acknowledge their interest in a steady practical life, as well as lead them now and then on spiritual adventures.

When attracting a Taurus Moon you will need to appeal to both their fun-loving side and their dignified sense of privilege. Fine foods, pleasant surroundings and artistic ambience put them at ease and bring out the best of them. The seduction of a Taurus Moon is multifaceted, as they enjoy the chase but equally enjoy being pursued, and this can apply to both sexes. It is important that their partner has a relaxed attitude to intimacy and tenderness, as they usually expect lots of fondness and caressing, and enjoy cuddling and quiet evenings just tending to each other's needs.

The rigid side of the Taurus Moon's personality can, however, be expressed in their relationships. For instance, if they feel that they are right, they can be quite tenacious in holding their ground . One potentially irritating side of this is when they do it silently, trying to win an argument by stealth. When pushed, of course, they meet any challenge and are ready to argue the point convincingly. Emotionally, this has both a good and a bad side. On the good side, you have the reliability of a steady partner and know where you stand; on the challenging side, getting them to change their view, or to look at yours in a different way, can be difficult.

If you encounter this, the path of gentle persuasion is probably going to be more productive than a head-on argument. Appeal to their sweet side, not their strong side. And if you are trying to win an argument without having the facts, pertinent or not, you can forget it. There is a little Taurus in us all, but this particular trait is condensed with a Moon in Taurus and needs a bit of patience and strategy to deal with. Nevertheless, the Taurean nature is always ready to come to terms, if you can hold out whatever sweet incentive they find appealing.

In emotional matters, the Taurus Moon needs stimulation, and often relies on their partner to get things going. It is easy for them to get stuck in a rut and become complacent, especially when things are going really well. Their partner will need the right amount of push, pull and cajole to get them moving on to new things. This is great if your Moon is in Scorpio, Aquarius or Pisces, but probably challenging if your Moon is in an Earth sign like Virgo or Capricorn . While it may take some effort to get them moving - Taurus is symbolized by the strong-willed bull - they do appreciate it once they are in motion.

Taurus Moons also expect a good deal of discretion from their partners and are very pleased when they know how to keep a good secret, especially when it comes to financial, business or practical matters. But what they expect from others they can usually give in turn.

The Taurus Moon brings a lot to its valued relationships, not least an emotional ground that gives you a solid foundation to build on. They are fun-loving, sensitive, sensible partners who have a good sense of humour, a love of refinement and a mind that is open to new ideas. Keep the relationship vital by challenging their views, opening up new vistas and weaving a bit of magic into their lives.
