Venus rulership makes them romantic and attentive partners. Best compatibility with Virgo, Capricorn (fellow earth signs), and Cancer (emotional depth).

Taurus natives prefer stable investments — real estate, gold, fixed deposits — over speculative ventures. They are excellent savers but can be overly materialistic.
