They tend to prefer to plan things down to the last detail and to avoid unnecessary risks (they don't get a thrill from risk taking like some other signs do). They typically prefer long term relationships over one night stands, and are often more concerned with practicalities than being swept off their feet, and tend to value stability and loyalty from a partner.

Taurus is ruled by Venus
Venus represents how you find and appreciate beauty in life. What qualities you are drawn to. Venus rules love, desire, romance and beauty. It's a simple and sensual attraction and desire to own. Conceptually it represents romance, attraction, harmony, friendships, beauty, art.
Taurus is associated with the 2nd house
The second house symbolizes things of value to us, and how we nurture their growth, how we become established, how we apply deliberate action. Conceptually the second house also shows how we use resources covering concepts such as stability, steady progress through sustained effort, investment and security.
