Riddle me this, Taureans...

This topic was created in the Taurus forum by boxcarmirnta on Thursday, May 10, 2018 and has 29 replies.
It says you're supposed to be loyal, dependable, steadfast etc....yet it seems you guys are the ones that are constantly on the fence, needing all the reassurance etc etc...so ...when do you become that mythical awesome loyal taurus you're supposed to be. Do you guys ever reassure others? Cuz i have yet to see it.....feel free to throw tomatoes, idgaf..
verbal reassurance is definitely not a strong point for them. it's nearly all going to be via actions. my partner has a gem mercury and even then, speaking about feelings can be difficult at times.

hey. Well he doesnt do that either. (anymore) What does mercury rule again? His is in taurus (ugh) along with his venus!! Mars is aries which i guess works well with my venus in aries..but we obviously clash pretty hard, like we just did. Scorpio moon for him....hoping thatll be something positive and balance out his seeming indifference at the moment. :/

we're testing people and observing them to make sure they are worthy of loyalty. we are built for commitment and loyalty, but a lot of people aint shit and just not worth it. I reassure people all the time - to the point that I wish I could be selfish with my emotions. I always wonder when people are gonna reassure me so I can show my emotions for once -__-. The only people who reassure me are Pisces. click to expand

Damn. I am seriously built for reassuring people. But this dude was so goddamn hot and cold i didnt feel HE deserved it. Id gladly dish it out if he could remain consistent. And learned how to communicate like a grown up. What a weird balancing act!! Everyone has insecurities ya know? We should reassure eachother.

mercury is partly about communication. he is definitely a gem merc. has great witty banter. can talk to anyone. loves loves loves a chat about anything and everything. however when it comes to feelings (except when he is pissed off) lips are tightly sealed. he has murder mars too (cancer mars) so it's not like the feels aren't there but in typical taurus style it's nearly all expressed through deed rather than word.

Murder Mars (cancer) lol I never heard that. Both me and my mate have that...what does that mean?
I think this is different for Taurus male and female. As a Taurus female I am constantly reassuring everyone especially my s.o. however, I never hear much reassurance from him and when I say something the response is "I already told you that once, I don't see a need in repeating it" -Taurus men are practical, rational and like to be masculine, dominate and provide. They don't really have use for emptions.

Definitely actions speak louder than words with them. I can also tell you that after not seeing my bull for 4 days he finally told me this morning he "misses me" ...I almost fell over haha.

But their loyalit stems from, if they didn't like you or didn't want to be with you, they wouldn't be. That's all the "reassuring" they need to give.

Just the opposite here. I'm very expressive, compassionate, and communicative, tending to wear my feelings on my face and my sleeves. In a relationship, I'm verbal about how I feel. I've been known to told back and withdraw if there is repeated conflict or if you shut me down repeatedly. Then I'll just wait for a breaking point, unhealthy pattern I'm working on as it's helped me stay way longer than prime in relationships that turned out to be toxic eat years of my time.

Thought part of the sensual nature of this sign was their openness and freedom of expression. I've also known two Taurus men as friends that were very expressive, if not verbal. Are other Taurus folk out there shy about sharing your feelings within your relationships?

freedom of expression in regards to taurus sun sign? i've never come across that.

let me just clarify, he is definitely compassionate and yes, he tells me lovely sentiments but it is not his area of comfort. as boots has said it's more a case of "if i didn't care i wouldn't do x,y,z". those deeds are given as expressions of love.

What Jean Says.

my Taurus is always in his head so he's always needing the reassurance part. he doesnt really pry into emotions so he doesn't really provided reassurance me verbaly. But he is always there in ways only the eye can see.



example: I told him I was having a really emotional day the other day and declined to go meet him out that night, he ended up coming over when he was done to be with me, he never asked me what was going on. his actions were more to just be present for me, dependable, but allowed me to open up on my own terms and not pry . and I think they expect that in return also he hates thay I "pry" but im a sag and all I know is to ask questions.

Mine is 12th house so Im come across much colder than your average scorpio moon, but it does make me watery and I feel like my emotions/love run very deep, you just don't always hear it from me, but you feel it, I act out love, I touch you, I do things for you, Im cooking for you, Im making your life easier and my loyalty is at crazy levels and if I feel like you can't match that loyalty, you are basically not getting close to me and if you dare to betray me, you are dead to me, the scorpio moon will cut you out and the Taurus stubborn nature, will never let you back in.

Taurus sun and mercury not the best at communicating, but a methodical deliberate thinker we are taking forever to make up our minds about things, especially matters of the heart. Thinking things through over and over again like a broken record. Making us one day hot, then the next cold the uncertainty in our head wavering back and fourth unless you can prove to be what we are looking for in a partner this will continue. But once we do make up our minds about something and pledge ourselves to it there is no changing or stopping it. You won’t need constant verbal reassurance about how we feel about you when just the way we kiss and look at you will speak volumes.

i really feel like i am what hes looking for: stability, honest, caring, dependable...all that jazz. We get along so well..we just had a fucked up misunderstanding that got brutal. Any advice? My aries venus makes me a bit fiery at times..i have my guard up just like him. I want to reassure him but i don't wanna get screwed over either!
@lentobull91 i feel so confused and USED. I tried to contact him, was very nice....nothing. why does he go from.sweetheart to MIA? I feel like if someone really is a sweetheart theyll STAY one..
@jeane PM! smile
