(Taurus, April 21—May 21) Stability and determination are the main traits of those born under the sign Taurus, while their color is pink, their birthstone an emerald, and their flower the hyacinth, according to FTD florists. Taurus people are constant, careful and cautious, and they rarely act impetuously — their actions stem from accumulated experience. With their systematic methods and perseverance.Taureans make good builders and conservers of the earth. But a Taureah must take care that his determination does not become obstinacy and his deliberateness does not become unimaginative. Taurus people are generally associated with materialism and practicality.
