Taurus Physical Characteristics

Soo iv'e just been posting these on about all of the other sign forums, but this website that i go to a lot has everything you could possibly want to know about your sign and it has this section for describing the "Physical Appearance" of each sign.. i got this from http://www.novareinna.com/constellation/taurusappearance.html in case if anyone wanted to go check it out.. tell me if it describes you well, i was shocked because on mine it described me almost perfectly.

Those born under the jurisdiction of Taurus are, for the most part, of a robust and healthy appearance, normally of medium height or somewhat below average. The bodily structure is typically thick, stocky and "squarish," with a large trunk and comparatively short limbs. In a physical sense, they tend to very much resemble their Zodiac mascot, the Bull. The shape of the face is often full and square, displaying somewhat flat features, while the head itself is normally quite round. The ears are usually small and close the head while the chin is rounded, chubby and often sports a dimple. The nose is frequently short, often turned-up at the end with distended nostrils. The eyes (generally large and expressive) are customarily soft and affectionate in appearance...rather like those of a puppy...and members of the opposite sex may find it hard to resist the seductive charm such eyes exude. The neck of a Taurus individual is normally short, thick and sturdy-looking, while the general countenance is serene, characteristic of the Bull's persona, combining great mildness with great strength. Taurus natives are frequently big-boned with large and imposing bodies, giving an appearance of "weightiness" in every sense of the word (this particularly applies to the male Taurus). They seem to have an extra layer of insulating fat, distributed more-or-less evenly over the entire body. However, this layer of fat is by no means unattractive, appearing solid and well-suited to the Taurus frame. Indeed, although many Taurus individuals give the appearance of overall "bigness," they are usually far from what would be considered fat. Stocky or solid is truly a much better description and the average Taurus individual would not be offended in the least by the use of such terms. In general, a Taurus individual is large in build with broad shoulders, representing a great capacity for manual labor.

The majority of Taurus subjects are considered to possess a most excellent physique, displaying the promise of youth, vigor and freshness far into the declining later years of life. That having been said, the big-bodied image of Taurus natives can, however, be misleading and does not always apply. Many are quite thin or even frail, their appearance defying the usual physical characteristics of this Zodiac Sign. Those born in the month of May as opposed to the month of April are likely to have a Gemini, Sagittarius or Pisces Ascendant and this can greatly alter the classical Taurus appearance. In fact, nowhere else in the Zodiac are the physical characteristics of a sign so mitigated by other planetary influences than in Taurus. (The May-born, slight-of-frame, Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn, for example.) Nonetheless, varied as the natives of this Zodiac Sign may appear, there remains one telltale characteristic by which Taurus individuals can usually be identified: the eyes, which seem to be rather prominent or slightly protruding, having a conical or pointed shape at the cornea...and even the more slender Taurus natives will possess the typical broad shoulders and straight back. The overall appearance of all Taurus individuals exudes a somewhat distinct sensual aura.

The skin of a Taurus individual will be glowing and opaque in nature, soft to the touch and even "creamy" in appearance. However, some may sport a florid complexion which will, nonetheless, be clear in character. The lips are normally full and well-shaped with the teeth typically small and even. Generally, those governed by this Sign move gracefully and well in coordination with others. Although height is likely to be average, there is a tendency to plumpness around the area of the torso and it will usually be necessary for Taurus subjects to wage a constant guard against the proclavity toward easy weight gain. The nostrils may be flared...particularly in times of anger...with the nose and mouth being customarily wide. The hands of a Taurus subject are generally broad, thick and rather short or "pudgy" in shape. The hair of a Taurus individual ranges from dark to the lighter shades of brown, varying in character from naturally wavy to curly to crinkly. Whichever the case, its texture will invariably be thick and soft. There may also be a tuft or curl of hair above the center of the forehead...curiously similar to the growth often found between the horns of a Bull. The voice of a Taurus native is likely to be quite musical with the manner of speech slow but friendly. It should be noted that there are two unconscious mannerisms by which Taurus subjects may be readily identified: the female's tendency to tap the feet in a nervous manner when angry or irritated; and the male's tendency to move the head slowly but noticeably from side-to-side under similar agitated circumstances. In addition, the nostrils of both sexes are liable to become distinctly enlarged.

To some extent, the above descriptions are influenced and affected by the qualities associated with the Decan into which the Taurus individual falls. (To read more about the qualities associated with the Decans of Taurus, please click on the link given below.)
A subject born within the First Decan (April 21 to April 30...also known as the Taurus Decante of Taurus) possesses many physical features that others find most attractive and appealing. These may include: smooth and radiant skin; well-formed sensuous lips; soft and manageable hair; a youthful appearance; and a "ski" nose. There is a tendency for these native to be rather too sensual for their own good and some may need to select a wardrobe which tones down a few of the "too-sexy" features. The hands are likely to be smooth and fleshy, with short rather stubby fingers. However, the nails will probably be well-manicured. First Decan Taurus individuals prefer only the most expensive of clothes, since they revel in the sensuous feel of fine fabrics and the pleasure of an excellent fit. This native is likely to be medium-tall to tall in height, with slim to medium shoulders and a bony build. The forehead is usually broad and the eyes widely separated. On rare occasions, the females of this Decan can be be somewhat flat-chested and both sexes tend toward the thin side in physical build.

A subject born within the Second Decan (April 31 to May 10...also known as the Virgo Decante of Taurus) is likely to be identified by a slim build and shortness of stature, often making for something of a tiny individual. Indeed, these Taurus natives are usually smaller and more trim than others born under the jurisdiction of this Sign. Normally careful of diet, appearance and wardrobe, these subjects strive to avoid being overweight, unkempt or ostentatious. The voice is normally clear and pleasant and there may be an aversion to grammatical errors since every effort is made here to use precise words in order to express meaning and/or feeling. Because these individuals need to use gestures rather frequently, they find it difficult to communicate if their hands are otherwise occupied. Facial features tend to be relatively small and round with one possible exception...the nose, customarily soft and broad, may be a little larger (or longer) than these Taurus natives would prefer. The physical appearance of this Second Decon is very similar to those who fall within the Virgo Decante of Virgo.

A subject born within the Third Decan (May 11 to May 22...also known as the Capricorn Decante of Taurus) is likely to be of small to medium height and slim to medium in build. There is a tendency here for these natives to look somewhat older that they truly are...particularly up until the mid-thirties, after which they may not appear to age very much more. The neck is apt to be somewhat longer and thinner than average and although the upper torso is seldom large, there is a tendency to fullness of the hips and legs. The skin is prone to be dry and may require ongoing care to avoid a "leathery" appearance. In the males of this Decan, there is an unfortunate proclavity toward relatively early hair loss. There will usually be a strong, rounded jaw and face...the hallmark and influence of the Sign of Capricorn.

My mom has a "ski nose" she is a Taurus, and it is like an elongated very prominant nose that has a slight bump but isn't big at all. I have also noticed that most Taurus are either big boned or extremely tiny tiny.. but all Taurus in my opinion has some similiar looks.

I am a first decan taurus and this describes me perfectly except that I'm definately NOT flat chested...... oh and I don't know what a "ski nose" is but my modeling instructor once told me I had a perfect nose...perfect size, shape, and symetry.........
