Taurus, the bull, is the next in line on the zodiac, and they are definitely one of the more sensual signs of the zodiac. Taureans are born between April 20th and May 20th and are ruled by the planet Venus. This means that love, money, and beauty govern their lives. They are also a fixed sign which shows up in their nature of being steadfast and loyal.

The best thing about Taureans is that that they have a strong sense of self that is quietly sensed by others and draws them near because they can be trusted. They also never worry over small things, which makes them a calming energy to be around. Taureans are a great time, they love to indulge in the finer things in life and love for you to indulge with them. They are confident and happy in their own skin but possess a come-hither look that is irresistible.
The Taurus Zodiac Sign: An Overview
Taureans like to maintain an organized life with systems in place for everything. This is definitely a sign that is consistent and highly reliable. Sometimes they can be too loyal and dedicated which causes them to stay in situations longer than they need. This sign belongs with the other two Earth signs (Virgo and Capricorn) but is the most indulgent of the three. Meaning they live their lives in the laps of luxury and comfort. Any reality where they can manifest this is ideal for a Taurus.
However indulgent they may be, one thing a Taurus does not play about is their money. They are extremely hard-working people, who are not afraid to do what needs to be done. A Taurus can be incredibly ambitious, focused, and resilient, and feel most aligned when they are stacking aways major cash in the bank. This Earth sign can be both gentle and fierce, however, do not try to boss them around. They have very strong opinions because they spend lots of time meticulously deconstructing situations. They look at every angle to see how something works and when they have made up their mind, they are unmovable in their decision.

Why We'll Probably Never Hear Lupita Nyong'o Share Her Relationship With The World
Lupita Nyong'o is sharing a transparent look into her life after a recent breakup.
In a cover story for NET-A-PORTER, the A Quiet Place: Day One star shed light on the significant heartbreak she experienced following the end of her relationship with ex-boyfriend and TV host, Selema Masekela.
As a public figure, Nyong'o, 39, sought to divulge the news of the breakup in hopes of presenting a more authentic perspective on the pain that follows a separation.
"I was living in a lot of pain and heartbreak," she told the publication. "I looked at the environment of my social media and thought I don’t want to be a part of this illusion that everything is always coming up roses. Surely there is a lesson for me to learn in this, and I just want to be real about it."
The Black Panther star went on to explain that her choice to be transparent with her fans about her breakup came from the certainty she felt after ending the relationship. “In my mind, when I shared my relationship status with the world, it was because I felt sure about it,” she said.
While she didn’t know how the news would land with her fans, she found relief in knowing she wasn’t alone in her experience.
“I knew how it could be interpreted; I knew it would have a life of its own,” she reflects. “But then I started to see the comments and people were being so loving and supportive. The ones that moved me the most were other people sharing their pain and their heartbreak.”
Nyong'o and Masekela went Instagram official in December 2022, publicly announcing their relationship in a couple's video. In October 2023, Nyong'o took to her personal Instagram account to share the news of her breakup in her caption, writing, "At this moment, it is necessary for me to share a personal truth and publicly dissociate myself from someone I can no longer trust.”
She continued the vulnerable note, "I find myself in a season of heartbreak because of a love suddenly and devastatingly extinguished by deception. I am tempted to run into the shadows and hide, only to return to the light when I have regained my strength enough for me to say, 'Whatever, my life is better this way.' But I am reminded that the magnitude of the pain I am feeling is equal to the measure of my capacity for love."
These days, Nyong'o tells NET-A-PORTER that she is prioritizing profound self-discovery that extends beyond her career. She notes having a deliberate and unhurried approach to understanding herself.
She also alludes to keeping her relationships private moving forward after noting it was "very, very sage" of her not to talk about her private life professionally in the days before her last relationship. "I'm going back to those days by the way," Nyong'o shares of her reinstated boundaries around her personal life.
Earlier this month, Nyong'o made headlines alongside her new boyfriend actor Joshua Jackson. Nyong'o and Jackson went through public splits from their respective SOs in October 2023, with the latter splitting from his long-time partner Jodie Turner-Smith following her divorce filing from the Dawson's Creek alum.
The pair have been spotted together as early as December 2023, but nothing screamed "couple" quite as loudly as their recent getaway to Mexico for Nyong'o's 41st birthday featuring passionate displays of affection.
"Our purpose in life is to love. And so you have to get back in it," she tells the outlet, seemingly alluding to her budding new romance.
