Obviously not all Taurus men ive met have been like this but most of them have been.

I think there could be something in your personal vibration that is activated. Because you seem to be attracting the not-so nice ones to you.

I have met tons that are sensitive,nice etc.I think the "stubbornness" can be overcome through a more tactical approach with those.

I usually start off with all the things we agree on and then slowly move to that point where there is disagreement. But I intentionally expand on the things that we agree on continuously etc.

I don't think that one can "change" another's mind explicitly.Taurus energy makes that very clear.

But I think that they can be "persuaded" by your approach to them to "rethink" it all.

Taurus does have Cancer on the 3rd house cusp of reasoning on the "natural zodiac". So just appeal to their emotional side.

I don't have Taurus in my 8th... I even have a Capricorn Moon, and I *still* have feelings of disgust for them.
LoL

Disclaimer: Not when their Taurus Moon is challenged by placements that are drastically opposite in temperament, e.g. an Aquarius Sun.

I've noticed that all of the Taurus men that come into my life have all of their Taurus planets in my 12th house and opposite my Scorpio stellium in the 6th so you can imagine how it plays out..

They only fall in love with anything and anyone that appeals to THEIR 5 senses. Forget anyone else's feelings, time, needs, wants, etc.

I get along great with Female Taurus' and maybe it's because I'm a female Tuarus Ascendant.

The Taurus women I know or women with moon or venus in Taurus, they're naturally beautiful and I admire their cautious, reserved but graceful nature. They have so many qualities I wish I possessed.

I'm Gemini w/ Venus & Mars in Taurus. In the beginning I thought Venus would smooth things over. Nope, we collide. Then I thought must be the ones with Venus in Aries (these are especially irritating), wasn't that either. Eventually I accepted they as a Sun sign just gets under my skin for some unknown reason. Gah!!

The one's I've had the easiest time I've had a passing - hi, bye - relationship with. Anything more and I believe we get on each other's nerves. Either I irritate them, or they like me and I can't stand being around 'em.

nMoon in Virgo is another specific placement that irks me.

One of the things that irritates me is the use of astrology for prejudicial purposes. Each type of person who comes into our lives offers us a challenge and opening to growth. Mine was my Aries rising mother. She lit a fire under me (or attempted to) at times when I did not know how to be proactive.

For most of you, I'd question the overall quality and values of the people you associate with instead of using astrology for bias justification.

But - I will be honest - I am not so positive that Taurus energy, in particular the Moon sign (in men!) - when accompanied by a certain kind of Astrological cocktail - is just as "capable" of empathy, genuineness and real love - as the next person. Financial considerations (and other superficial considerations) always seem to come first for these people.

I know that this is biased, but other than personal experience I also have astrological theories on this.

First of all - out of the three earth signs - Taurus is the youngest on the Astro-wheel. I don't feel like Taurus energy is "just as" capable of fending for themselves as Virgo (associated with the 6th house of work) and Capricorn (associated with the 10th house of career) are. This is perhaps why I associate Taurus with dreams of finding a rich partner who works -for- them.

Secondly, Taurus (as opposed to the other two earth signs) is ruled by a feminine planet, Venus. And while Venus can be beautiful, charming, artistic, friendly and hospitable - Venus energy can also be vain, selfish and self-entitled. Venusian energy sometimes -expects- to be spoilt by other people and by life in general.
This can give rise to the kind of behaviour people have described in this thread.

Thirdly -- regarding the Moon placement -- men are more likely to project their Moon sign traits. A woman with a Taurus Moon would be more inclined to take on the traits of that Moon sign both positive and negative (traditionally interpreted as coming from the mother figure). But men with a Taurus Moon can sometimes project the qualities of the Moon sign and attract partners with those qualities.
I've seen some odd manifestations of this, for example the "male mooch". It seems to me like what happens with these "mooching"-type Taurus Moon men, is that they only relate to the dark side of Taurus/Venus energy: laziness, vanity etc (what I described above) - and they seek to attract women who play out other, more positive earthy traits: being responsible, independent, paying ones own bills.
I think this is directly related to the way in which they viewed their mother and their relationship with their mother. If their mum was someone who handed everything on a platter to them, they will expect -just that- from their wife. And it really *does* make them seem selfish.

I. can't. even.

How much he irritated me and played mind games... cannot even be explained.

And yes, played the victim after our breakup by airing his version of our "dirty laundry." He was obsessed with money, cheap unless it was something he would buy for himself. And SO STUBBORN and boring. He would not change his routine even to accommodate dating. Ugh.

There were a couple of slightly narcissistic ones but I noticed they verged more on the cusp with Gemini. I'm always wary of guys who like to hang out in cafes "people watching", as one of them liked to do. I've never been into that.

I always got along with Taurus guys (I'm Virgo, must be an earth sign connection thing).

I am a Virgo. I cannot stand them. I have issues with the female Taureans too, just not as much as the males.

Aside from my husband, I don't get along with Capricorns either, male or female.

I prefer them (guys) more as friends and work colleagues ultimately, they're better as friends. As lovers in my experience they can be both stubborn and have more than one love interest, which isn't a good combination. The first 4 guys I was sexually involved with were all Taureans, which is a bit weird as I've had less romantic liasons with Taurus guys the older I've become. One guy would have been quite happy to have two girlfriends at the same time (one of which was me), but I nipped that in the bud quickly.

Maybe my Libra ascendant saw the romance in some of them (Venus ruling both Libra and Taurus) and that's why I was compelled to get involved with them.

This is only for the unevolved Taurus, however.

I think the issue is that in a lot of cultures, the negative traits- laziness, indulgence, close-mindedness- that Taurus men cultivate are encouraged. IMO, the stereotype of Taurus men is of a "guy's guy", who makes "Get back in the kitchen" jokes to any female he knows, spends all of his money and time on food, cars, watches, etc.
