Welcome to the rodeo, folks, and the deep heart of Taurus season.
There are various, many merits of the people of the bull: loyalty, a love of luxury, a propensity to overorder for the table, etc. B
But for each Taurus on the market arranging a charcuterie board, beating up their best friend’s philandering ex, and giving us all permission for pleasure, there’s a toxic bovine.
And as with all archetypes, Taurus has its dark side, its underbelly, its ugly head and its sharpened horn.
For a song that actually sings to the highs and lows of the spirit of the sign, do yourselves a favor and take heed to this bull bop by rapper Ros P.
Read on to learn more about essentially the most toxic of all Taurean traits.
Tyrannical
The perpetual toddlers of the zodiac, Taurus folks hate, hate, double-hate being told what to do.
At their worst, the lack to cede control extends to a desire to subjugate others. Shamefully, albeit unsurprisingly, a glut of tyrants have been born bulls.
On your consideration and in no particular order: Pol Pot, Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Lenin, Saddam Hussein, Jim Jones, and Oliver Cromwell.
Loyal to all of the incorrect things
As a set earth sign, Taurus is excited about stability and deeply proof against change, but once they dig their hooves in against the forces of fortune, they sell themselves short.
Taurus is usually lauded for his or her loyalty. Yet along with being the zodiac’s resident ride or die, willing to go to bat and take a bat to the automotive of anyone that has wronged someone they love, bulls also remain loyal to situations they might be higher served to see themselves out of: a job they hate, a relationship that’s gone stale, and a dependency on cheese and elastic waistbands.
Too proud to beg forgiveness
If gluttony is a Taurus’ favorite sin, pride plods close behind. Self-righteous and allergic to saying sorry, a bull will sooner eat dryer sheets than accept defeat or admit fault.
“I’m still not sorry, but I’m hungry; you attempting to run up the road with me to get a turkey leg?”

Within the immortal words of fellow Taurus IndesKribeaBULL: “I’m still not sorry, but I’m hungry; you attempting to run up the road with me to get a turkey leg?”
This is definitely the closest a Taurus will come to a mea culpa.
Possessive AF
Taurus rules the second house of values and possessions. As such, there may be a bent amongst Taureans to conflate material wealth with self-worth, measuring themselves by what they’ve slightly than who they’re.
Green is the power color of Taurus, and plenty of among the many bull herd harbor a nasty, jealous streak — coveting, hoarding, comparing, and treating the people they love like things they own.
A low vibrational Taurus is worried with getting and keeping, and lives in fear of what will be taken from them.
Think Gollum, but higher fed.
The grudge that won’t budge
Taurus likes to live within the garden of earthly delights, and inside it lies a big flower bed where they water their grudges and are likely to their petty vendettas.
Trust: hell hath no fury like a bull betrayed, folks
Living proof: Easy-riding Taurus Dennis Hopper, who held a grave, long grudge against former pal and collaborator Peter Fonda, even making specific arrangements before his death to bar Fonda from attending his funeral.
Not for nothing, but writer Alexandre Dumas of “Count of Monte Cristo” fame was inspired by the life, times, and gratuitous grudge-holding of a Taurus cobbler named Pierre Picaud.
As “Psychology Today” notes, “Somewhat than process the hurt, learn from the experience, and gain emotional maturity, grudge-holders embrace victimhood, act childishly, and seek payback. They forfeit growth for narrow-mindedness.”
On this sense, holding fast to their very own festering hate is the most toxic of Taurus traits because it panders to their lesser angels and keeps them from evolving into the beatific, benevolent bull gods they were born to be.
