Tragic Tauruses should be royalty in the Middle Ages. Their idea of a good time is to sit back with a giant, roasted turkey leg and a huge goblet of wine, talk boisterously with friends and family, lounge around in velvet robes, and maybe even get some servant to pop ripe, juicy grapes into his or her mouth. If anyone argues with their decisions, Taurus could just have him or her beheaded on the spot for sport. Unfortunately, there’s not much room for royalty in today’s technology-based world, so modern-day Tauruses just end up bossing their families around while they sit together at the table eating Kentucky Fried Chicken. The fact remains, however, that Tauruses consider themselves to be the kings and queens of their households and workplaces—all ways must be Taurus’s way.

Taureans love the physical world around them. They can actually get overwhelmed in places like Yankee Candle or Bath & Body Works. Even Bed Bath & Beyond can be a little too much—who knew towels and bedspreads came in so many textures? They might tear up a little bit when the beauty of an orange-and-blue fall sky hits them full-on. While it can be touching to see the sensitive side of Tragic Taurus, it’s usually best to keep them away from very shiny things.

Taurus’s fatal flaws stem from their desire to control the things around them. They can have a major temper when they’re challenged by their own personal limitations, or by their partner. They will rage against friction and can throw themselves off course with their tantrums. Of course, some Taureans are less assertive than others, and this anger can come in the form of a prolonged silent treatment. Their complete pig-headedness can be a major problem both at home and at work. On top of this, the Tauri people really like to relax, almost to the point of total laziness. While they take pride in doing what they say they’re going to do, they may not commit to very many things that interfere with their lounging.
