TAURUS (April 20–May 20)

In a Nutshell: I can confidently say without bias that Taurus is one of your more high-quality zodiac signs. First of all, you won't find a more loyal, reliable, affectionate lover or friend. We're easy to please, with a Homer Simpson-like appreciation for the finer things in life -- plop us in front of the TV with a beer and a burger, and we're happy as clams. Well, okay, so maybe we need to work on being a teensy bit more flexible. And we could stand not to be so tight with a buck. But when you take them as part of the whole package, the stubbornness and materialism are kind of endearing. Right? Don't you think?

Best Cosmic Compatibility: Scorpio. Passionate Scorpio is like an irresistible force, and we all know you're pretty much an immovable object. You may be swept away by the overwhelming emotional and sensual intensity of this relationship, sort of like one of those spinning carnival rides where the bottom drops out.

Worst Cosmic Compatibility: Gemini. You're sensual and instinctive; Gemini is mental and analytical. You need stability and consistency to feel secure; Gemini changes more often than Michael Jackson's nose.

Famous Taurus Women: Jessica Alba, Michelle Pfeiffer, Janet Jackson, Kirsten Dunst, Uma Thurman, Tori Spelling, Kelly Clarkson, Renee Zellweger, Penelope Cruz, Kimora Lee Simmons

Famous Taurus Men: George Clooney, Jack Nicholson, Stephen Colbert, Michael Moore, Jason Lee, Jerry Seinfeld, Willie Nelson, David Beckham, Lance Bass, Trent Reznor
