How Taureans Build and Maintain Friendships

Taureans value loyalty and stability in friendships. They tend to be dependable and patient, but may also be reserved or possessive, which can affect long-term connections. Understanding their need for trust and consistency can help foster lasting friendships with Taureans.

I wonder because I find it so hard to actually keep friendships going strong. And those that ended were for very weird or unknown reasons, some for no explanations at all. And almost all the Taureans I know have very few friends.

There must be something wrong?

I'm a very friendly person I just can't stand the repetition of being close to a lot of people. A lot of friendships are based on too much superfluous pretense for me. A couple deep meaningful connections does the trick.

You have very similar placements as my Taurus friend and it's the same way for her. She's also your age..

Taurus know a lot of people but have few friends

if you are a valued friend, you will know.

I ran into old buddies last night who I rarely see, but it was like we had just seen each other the other day.

When you have true friends you will know.

I personally am a very nomadic person, jumping from seeing one group of friends to another months to year at a time.

I was hanging out with a very good friend of mine all last month yet this month we have had zero contact. I know we will speak again soon. I like it this way, and it seems like she enjoys our friendship that way too as well as my other friends.

I'm wondering the same thing. I've always been popular but I've never really felt close to anyone before. As I'm gettibg older it's hard to even meet people so I just kind of resolved to having no friends. Astro research has me blaming my Aquarius moon but my mom is another pretty "popular" Taurus with not a lot of friends either. We both host a lot and in general have lots of "friends" but we're each pretty lonely. We've just decided to try to be there for each other better.

as I get older and my fire is just smoldering and my earth is strong, I tend to gravitate toward friends who are more like me ... they don't expect anything but welcome a good connection when we "both" feel like it

for example, I have become good friends with a neighbor about a half mile from me - up the stone road - I used to walk my dogs and her dogs would join us - so we'd talk every once in awhile ... now if either of us call we just say - hey, call me back whenever and it's all good - could be days but we don't force each other on each other - when it's good for both of us we could talk for an hour to catch up - sometimes we do stuff together - no expectations - except if one "needs" the other, then we come with help and open arms ... well actually our entire neighborhood is like that - if you are in need, call - if not, don't call - lol - so much respect - it's no wonder they didn't want me to move - we don't like drama in the holla lol ...

My brother, who's a libra, basically echoed what @feral_doe said.

I've noticed as I've aged, I've sorta lost touch with a lot of friends through the years and I don't think it's got anything to do with me or them really. It's just life. People get married, have kids, have hobbies, have jobs, have less time to really do the things that you'd normally do if you were single and had time to spare.

You realize with time, that based on your actions, you're making the time and putting the effort to see certain people. Obviously that must mean something. In a way I feel like we all end up trimming the fat so to speak, and you end up keeping those around who consistently have a lasting influence on you. You surround yourself with certain people based on where your headspace is at, regardless of sign I think.

To stick with Taureans side of things, the Taureans I know have a lot of friends and usually host the best parties and are the most artistic/musical people I know so they have a fair share of company.

Both of my Taurus BFFs know a lot of ppl but don't have many close friends at all. They have lost some friends along the way for strange/unknown reasons

Keeping friends? Respect them. Value them. Listen to what they say and best of all, share a passion with them.

I am a canver women and i have one very good taurus man friend. We are friends for more than a year, even though he now lives abroad, we keep in touch every day - we text each other, he calls me from time to time, when he comes back home, he always asks me out, we also had a trip together. I like taurus sign, i think taureans as friends are very loyal, fixed and they definitely find it hard to trust somebody, they need to feel "the vibe" to be with you, but if they like you, they will always remember to ask you how was your day, will always help. I like that stability they provide.

Yes making friends is fun but I have a weird schedule so it is hard for many. Many move on and it's okay well make more friends either st work or school, or neighbor, or grocery store.

Taurus can sense true friendship. If they find you one then you are considered forever friend with or without commu you will remain in their hearts forever. However, if they don't like one they just don't like but will still show you their good side. They mean the saying, "Respect if you want to be respected".

For me it's finding flaws in the friendship and feeling like they aren't actually my friends.....feeling like the friendship isn't real at all. The moment I notice they are fake or users I distant myself immediately. I don't like confrontation because I get really ugly when I mad so I never confront them about whatever turned me off, I just cut them off.

I'm an aqua sun taurus moon and I'm notorious for holding onto childhood friends. I have friends from elementary school still. I just feel so attached to them and see them in a different light than say people I meet now. We don't talk everyday or anything like that but whenever I am in town I will always casually ask them what they're up to and bring up a lot of inside jokes or ask them about the last thing we were talking about, even if it was months ago. I am very thoughtful and persistent with my friends and hate losing them. I am also a good listener and fun/easy going to be around, so I think that helps!
