This year, the Sun shines on the pleasure pastures of Taurus from April 19 to May 20.
People born under the banner of the bull tend to be sensual, hardworking, and formidable.
Symbolized by the bull, Taurus governs the physical world; earthly delights, animal appetites, and material possessions.
Ruled by Venus — the planet of love, attachment, and aesthetics — Taurus energy is all about sensory indulgence. To paraphrase a rather gruff bull I know, “feed me and f–k me” are the guiding needs of Taurus.
Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign and embodies the ripe abundance of Spring. Praise be.
Determined and stubborn Tauruses are both the unstoppable force and the immovable object!
Read on for our list of famous Taurus celebrities!
Machine Gun Kelly
Colson Baker AKA Machine Gun Kelly or MGK, was born on April 22, 1990, making him a Taurus sun with a dreamy, escapist, “I am weed” Pisces moon. In an homage to his star sign, MGK starred in and co-wrote the 2022 film “Taurus.”
Gigi Hadid
Born April 23, 1995, Gigi Hadid is a green acres Taurus sun with a weird-as-I-want-to-be, ghost in the machine Aquarius moon. Both her sun and moon sign make her hella compatible with Cap daddy boyfriend Bradley Cooper.
John Cena
Built like a bull, John Cena flexes his Taurus fortitude in the ring and on screen!
Kelly Clarkson
Loud and proud Taurus Kelly Clarkson was born on April 24th.
Channing Tatum
Who but a Taurus like Channing Tatum could so effectively embody the sex-me of energy of Ginuwine’s “Pony?”
Chan Chan further illustrates his Taurus priority list in this philosophy: “Life is too short to miss out on the beautiful things like a double cheeseburger.”
Hot and hungry, a Taurus King if ever there was one.
Lizzo
Melissa Viviane Jefferson, born April 27, 1988, and known to the world as HRH Lizzo, is a stalwart Taurus sun with a grind or die Virgo moon.
Both Lizzo’s sun and moon are in earth signs, a combination that lends itself to a punishing work ethic and a reward system that prioritizes creature comforts.
Taurus rules the second house of self-worth, value and possessions and it comes as no surprise that Lizzo’s personal and professional trajectory has hinged upon her adoption of radical self-love. Further, Taurus is about reception and cultivating the belief that we deserve to receive, a sentiment Lizzo has mastered, telling Teen Vogue, “People, especially artists, are so afraid of looking thirsty. They don’t want to ask for the things that they want.”
Michelle Pfeiffer
Legendary actress and classic Catwoman, Michelle Pfeiffer, told Interview Magazine, “My birthday is April 29. I’m a Taurus to the bone. I’m very stubborn. I think I have common sense; I’m probably at times a bit tunnel-visioned, but I’m strong.”
Daniel Day-Lewis
The Taurean stubborn streak bleeds into the realms of work and art, as is the case with bull daddy Daniel Day-Lewis, who was so dedicated to his role as Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York that he actually learned how to butcher meat and refused to wear any clothing not authentic to the 19th century.
As a direct result of donning a threadbare tailcoat in freezing conditions, he contracted pneumonia. He rejected the modernity of antibiotics and only consented to treatment (and wearing microfiber fleece) after collapsing on set.
Travis Scott
Travis Scott was born Jacques Webster, Jr. in Houston, Texas on April 30, 1992 making him a bull god Taurus sun with an infernal Aries moon.
A 2019 profile of Travis opens with the following, ‘” Let me get that blunt.” Travis Scott pokes his head out from the backseat of his silver Bentley.”
Blunts and Bentleys and someone else stationed behind the wheel of your obscenely expensive car while you make demands from the cushioned back seat? This, friends, is Taurus energy distilled.
David Beckham
A goateed goldmine of sex appeal, staying power, and financial stability, David Beckham is pure, aspirational Taurus energy. Worth a reported 450 million dollars, Beckham has been married to Aries Spice Girl Victoria Beckham since 1999.
Adele
Taurus is very thoughtful about a vibe. If they aren’t creating beauty, they’re curating it. They prefer to entertain in their own spaces as they insist on being in charge of the charcuterie board, the dimmer switch, and the soundtrack, often to a militant degree.
See apex Taurus Adele requesting that Spotify remove the shuffle option for her latest album in an effort to control and protect the listening experience. Their approach may be extreme, but it is ultimately, like all things Taurus does, for the aesthetic benefit of all.
Henry Cavill
Consistent super hero and apex Taurus Henry Cavill admits that while he’s willing to go hard to look good for a role, he is, at heart, a deeply decadent bull, as exhibited in this glorious, gluttonous admission.
George Clooney
If Taurus were a country, it would be Italy, heavy on the carbs and the dolce vita. Fittingly, living legend and OG bull zaddy George Clooney spent two decades living said sweet life in Lake Como.
Enrique Iglesias
Brooding, bang-rocking songbird Enrique Iglesias was born on May 8.
Rosario Dawson
Taurus is a fixed earth sign, and brilliant bull Rosario Dawson has consistently advocated for the respect and restoration of the planet and its people. Dawson is involved with the documentary film “Kiss the Ground” and its follow-up, “Common Ground,” which focus on regenerative agriculture and its impact on climate change and human health.
Rami Malek
Taurus actor Rami Malek was born on May 12 and has channeled the Taurean gift of embodiment into bringing the legendary Freddie Mercury to life.
Robert Pattinson
Nonproblematic Taurus King Robert Pattinson went full bull when asked what he regards as the best scent on earth:
“When you’re in love with someone, and the smell is incredible,” because it “brings out an animal side of being human.”
Mark Zuckerberg
Taurus folks make up 10% of the world’s billionaires, and as the sign that rules the second house of wealth and worth, it tracks.
Bulls love fancy s–t and the holy grind to get it. A stubborn and ruthless mixture of self-possessed and straight-up possessive, they represent the toddler phase of human development. In kind and at their most base, they live by the creed “mine and more” and “too much is never enough.”
Examples of billionaire bulls include Facebook co-founder/CEO Mark Zuckerberg, born on May 14.
George Lucas
Visionary world-builder and hallowed geek George Lucas, born May 14, is a quadruple Taurus with his sun, Mercury, Venus, and ascendant all falling in the sign of the bull.
Janet Jackson
Janet Jackson, born May 16th, released the single “The Pleasure Principle” in 1986, an anthem of Taurus ethos if ever there was one. Further evidence of her Taurean nature can be found in the lyrics to and video for “Any Time, Any Place,” wherein the incompable Miss Jackson soulfully sings about getting it on everywhere but in the end, never leaves her apartment.
Megan Fox
Born May 16, 1986, Megan Fox is a tactile Taurus with a masturbate-in-the-mirror Leo moon. PSA: a Taurus woman is not one to be f—ed with, and few signs can compete with the ice-out game of a scorned bull. For evidence, see this iconic clip of Fox spurning former fiancée MGK.
Tina Fey
Taurus Tina Fey, born May 18th, channeled big bull energy as Liz Lemon in this classic “30 Rock” clip. Responging to the suggestion that a man wants to buy her a drink she waxes, in true more hungry than horny earth sign fashion, “I already have a drink. Do you think he’d buy me mozzarella sticks?”
Sam Smith
Regarding the physical body, Taurus rules the throat, and many natives are imbued with melodic speaking voices or booming vocal range. Beautiful bull Sam Smith, born May 19th, has both.
Grace Jones
Bull queen and certified bad b–ch, Grace Jones once questioned, “What’s wrong with being a sex machine, darling?” For evidence of Grace’s Taurean nature, see these iconic images of her 30th birthday party. Held at Studio 54, Jones is pictured on the back of a motorcycle, flanked by muscle-bound, dog-collar-wearing dudes, joyfully eating cake out of the open palm of Divine.
What dreams are made of and bulls are made for.
Cher
True to the tenets of her sun sign, bull icon Cher is a certified homebody.
Despite creating dance floor bangers for the better part of half a century, easily prefers the couch to the club, “I have this other personality that wants to sit and be quiet, watch old movies. I’m very much of an introvert, totally.”
