The most striking thing about Taurus is a calm, steady composure. Taurus thinks long and hard before deciding, and once a decision is made, it is hard to turn back. The people around them usually see them as a source of calm. When everyone else is panicking, Taurus is the one who doesn't raise their voice and says, "Let's see." Beneath this calm lies a solid will.
