Analytical, laidback, opinionated, and sometimes stubborn, I want to talk to you about my Taurus friends! There are a lot of misconceptions about the “stubborn” bull, and I’m going to be unpacking that as well as sharing the crystals that complement their strengths and counteract their weaknesses.

Born between April 21st and May 21st, Taurus are equal parts fierce and gentle. Bulls stick to their convictions, don’t like to be pressured, and they tend to be homebodies, who enjoy the comforts of their homes.

Being a bull, it’s no surprise that Taureans are seen as stubborn. But the truth is that this is a perception that others put onto the Taureans in their lives. In reality, the bull is simply steadfast and reliable—if you need something done, a Taurus will get it done no matter what it takes. And that’s the crux of it. While the Taurus sees themselves as dedicated, others see it as stubbornness.

While Taureans are extremely focused when they are working on a task, they do like to do, well, nothing. They are experts at chilling out. And while this sounds like an amazing quality to any of us who have a hard time stopping the constant go-go-go of modern life, it can get the Bull into trouble sometimes. In their relationships, it can be extremely frustrating for their friends and partners to feel like they are aloof to the point of neglecting their counterparts.

Taureans love the finer things in life—food, drink, shopping, spas… they love to have the best of the best. While there is nothing wrong with this when you are living within your means, this urge can lead the Bull down a difficult path. And it often leads to jealousy of those who are seen as having “more”.

Overall, Bulls are extremely dependable partners who can ease the tension their friends and partners experience with their unflappable trustworthiness and devotion. They also default to a state of calm—there is no drama, no stress, no tension when a Taurus is at their best.

So, let’s jump into the 8 best crystals for Taurus! Starting with the crystals that help bolster their strengths:

1. Obsidian

Taureans are extremely comfortable in their go-with-the-flow, relaxed vibes. Obsidian is a great crystal to protect that energy and helps Bulls feel secure and safe. With their tendency to be seen as stubborn, Taureans often get a lot of hate—Obsidian removes that toxic negativity. Keep a piece at your front door to protect the energy in your home or keep an Obsidian palm stone in your pocket to keep yourself wrapped in positivity throughout the day.

2. Jade

Bulls love the finer things in life—they prioritize their comfort and enjoyment over most other things in their lives. And they love luxury. From their homes to their appearance, everything about them screams opulence. Because they want the best for themselves, Jade is a perfect companion. This beautiful green crystal is a talisman for abundance and helps you manifest prosperity and wealth. It brings harmony, happiness, and abundance to your life, your business, and your family. Mythology says that all good things in the universe flow directly into Jade, and Jade then shares all these treasures with the world.

3. Rose Quartz

There is something about this star sign that is just… attractive. They are extremely charming and love to attract the attention of others—in love and friendship. But lasting love is also very important to Taureans. Rose Quartz can help support Taureans when it comes to all things love. This pink beauty is known as the universal love stone because it is all about love—love for ourselves, each other, the Universe, and the Divine. Working with Rose Quartz can help Taureans tap into the deep well of universal love they already possess and it can also help to soothe them during stressful times. It can help you move past any recent troubles so you can get back to being your loveable self!

And here are 5 crystals that help to mitigate the challenges Taureans face:

4. Black Tourmaline

The Bull tends to be a bit of a worrier—they constantly worry about their security across all aspects of their lives. From finance to relationships to their career, Taureans always seem to have a nagging anxiety in the back of their minds. Black Tourmaline is the perfect crystal to ease that anxiety as it is full of relaxed, easy-going energy. It’s also an amazing crystal for blocking negative energies that may come your way so you can approach each day with a clear, calm, positive outlook.

5. Hematite

When your head is in the clouds, which it often is if you’re a Taurus, coming back to earth and staying grounded can be difficult. That’s why Hematite is a wonderful crystal for Taureans. It has powerful grounding energy that can soothe a wandering mind and pull you back into the present moment. Hematite also strengthens your connection with the earth, fostering a deep sense of security and stability—something Bulls are always looking for!

6. Aventurine

Taurus can fall into the jealousy trap—their desire to have the best of the best can sometimes cause them to become envious of those that have what they want. In the worst cases, this can lead to Bulls spending money they don’t necessarily have to ease their jealousy. A much more affordable—and effective—solution is to work with Aventurine. This crystal helps to dissolve feelings of jealousy and allows you to let go of the compulsion to compare yourself to others. As a bonus, Aventurine helps you stay focused on your goals, bringing you one step closer to the “best of the best” life!

7. Malachite

The typical Taurus tends to overthink pretty much everything and doubt themselves when it comes to making big decisions. When you are lacking in courage and full of self-doubt, Malachite will bring out your inner warrior. It brings assertiveness, courage, and guides you towards your most authentic self. Malachite also helps you connect with your passion and use that energy in all areas of your life.

8. Blue Lace Agate

Taureans are not partial to public speaking in any form—they hate to make pitches, presentations, and speeches. But for a lot of us, Bulls included, public speaking is a necessary part of modern-day business and life. Blue Lace Agate opens your Throat Chakra to help you speak clearly and effectively express yourself. It is amazing for anyone who has a hard time opening up in front of others. It also gives you the clarity and strength you need to handle difficult conversations with a calm, compassionate mindset.

So, Taurus, I hope these crystals can help you feel more confident, tap into your compassionate love, and bring abundance into your life!
