Characteristics of Taurus: The people having Taurus Ascendant or Moon sign have a very relaxed nature, who loves to be a little reserved unless asked to accompany. They don’t get into aggression quite easily, but if they do, then it’s hard to control that, though it would only be for a very short span of time. They may have a quite lazy approach toward their work, but at the same time, they are dedicated to be successful in whatever tasks they take on. They have some kind of rigidness in their thoughts and actions, which makes it hard for them to gel with others easily, but when they get along with others, they prove to be an asset and true support which people can count on. They have brilliant business and analytical skills, which gives them an ability to handle big deals quite easily. Sweetness in voice, and love for delicious food go hand in hand with them. They are emotional but practical people.
