The Taurus Shutdown: It Doesn’t Happen Overnight

At least one Sasstrology visitor has arrived here by googling why a Taurus man would become distant overnight. The short answer is: he wouldn’t. If he’s suddenly giving you the cold shoulder, he’s been unhappy for awhile. Read on for some clues as to why this might happen, and what you might do to prevent it.

First, let’s look at what the Taurus man is all about. He’s ruled by Venus, so he enjoys the sensual pleasures (good food, good sex). But Venus is about more than feeling good; at his core, Taurus represents the Venus archetype of survival. We’re talking back to basics: resources, procreation, security. This is earthy, primal Venus stuff (not the airy, Libra side).

  1. A,

    That wasn’t meant to sound rude either. Taurus men are no nonsense, straight down the line men. If he is playing you, he is the player type and you will never tame him. He is looking for his eve, you have to trust me on this.

  2. A,
    Also you said “your sick of waiting around, waiting for him to come to his senses” Taurus is all about his senses and he senses you chasing him. HE is the chaser not you. Also you said your losing your patience, i can guarantee you will move the rock of Gibraltar before you rush a Taurus man. He is as stubborn as a mule and determined as a fighting bull. If he wanted you, you would know it. He would push and push until he got his prize.

  3. I’m afraid that Andrea is right. I think he is done after the pics, and especially after the bar incident.

  4. Okay maybe not, he did text back thanks for the bday wishes. Still not responding to my last text though :(

  5. Okay people I’ve established contact with the Taurus. Lets see what happens. I’ll keep you updated on things, it’ll probably be a while though, he is very patient. He even told me that before we met that he was trying to get my attention for like 10 months, that persistence really does pay off. Who can wait that long? Because I can NOT. I’m not going to be ‘shopping’ around for men but who knows what will happen!!!

  6. Andrea

    I didn’t think you were being rude. But I’m on here basically to vent about the Taurus not get relationship advice from Rori Ray. No offense

  7. A

    I took that advice from my own email when i was going through the same thing as you with my Taurus man, and it actually help me a lot. tI wasn’t meant to be offensive at all and it it was i’m sorry. I seemed to be a relevant post in my inbox on what most of us woman do with men. We push and chase. Not sure if you read it, but it’s actually good advice. This advice from Rory is about how we shouldn’t push our men, imagine what it will do to Taurus men. I read this post to my Taurus partner last night and his advice was, if it was him after the photo and bar incident, it would 100% over. He cannot be embarrassed by the woman he wants to love, but if it’s just sex he won’t be bothered. He gave an example of pushing the other night. We had a little row and as i am Aquarian sun, Saggi moon and Mars Scorp, you can only imagine how hard i push. The more he moved away the more i tried him to see reason. When i read this to him he told me how my pushing made him feel. He said he was squirming and hated me in that moment. I also have big lessons still to learn i guess. If you want him so badly and i can see why you would, lets hope in the rest f his birth chart, he has far more forgiving planets.

  8. Sorry A i also want to say good luck as well. If you are going to be patient, please don’t allow him to walk back into your life when HE feels like it. If he makes contact, let him know your busy, then the next time, if he contacts you again and you desperately want to meet him, you make the arrangements. Keep HIM waiting this time, he will go mad to chase you. These are funny blokes, but worth it if you know how to handle them. I always read post on how woman hated there Taurus male because they are so hard work and boy are they hard work. They seem contradictory! They want you to be nice and sweet but tough, independent but cuddly, sexy and shy. Sometime i don’t know why i bother then i realize he is one of the only true gentlemen in this world, who will treat you like a queen if you have the patience to put up with him and understand his world. Arguing is not even an option with them, they will only ever see their own point of view. It’s a hard and easy life with these guys.

  9. Andrea

    They are contradictory aren’t they. Even though I do love my Taurus the more that I dwell on this situation the more I realize that it probably isn’t going to work out anyways. He was all talk, told me that he wanted to get married, have babies………….. Then when I actually do need him, he was already gone. I just don’t know what I’m even trying to accomplish with him. I mean if he did this to some other guy they wouldn’t ever speak to him again, but I’m still trying.. And for what? Validation? Actually I think I’m still chasing him because he is my number 1 guy in bed. I’m not sure what all these other guys are doing but it isn’t working, and with my Taurus just let me tell you, he knows what to do. So this is my revelation, I’m chasing him because he is the best behind closed doors.

  10. If he did this to some other girl********

  11. Andrea, I removed your Rory Ray comment — we do not republish more than what’s considered “fair use” without author’s consent.

  12. Here is the update. I’M DONE. I just found out that he is seeing someone else. This is the last time I will waste any of my energy on this guy. I’m so MAD right now. I mean what grown man leaves someone who they say they want to marry, then later she finds out that she is pregnant and has a miscarriage, and then says she is lying about it when she shows you the ultrasound pics, and then is seeing someone else and talking to the would be baby momma, even if she initiated it. This idiot that’s who. Well guys if he ever tries to speak to me again then I’ll let you know, but as of right now nothing will change my feelings about him. He is like the scum at the bottom of a lake right now, and it won’t change. So I hope that with me not making any kind of contact with this piece of work will actually work and he will just leave me alone now.

  13. No problem Jeffery, i totally understand.

    A

    Yes Taurus men are great in the sack. You may find a new one one day, you can connect with and where you both treat each other well. Just remember all the things I’ve said about them. They are worth it if you know how to handle them. I just ignore mine all the time when he starts and never let him give me shit.

    good luck and love for the future

  14. Hi A,

    Thank you for making me laugh again like I said you are a true comedian whom
    is able to keep her “WITS” and take it in her “STRIDE” regardless what this Taurus
    whom is unable to keep his dick in his pants has to dish out.???

    Perhaps the best is yet to come who knows what the future holds.???

    In the meantime stand your ground and keep smiling. Taurus

  15. I’m just so frustrated. I even asked him why he was talking to me when he is in a relationship with someone. And you know what he said? He said it’s because birthdays are a big deal!!! Well I’ll tell you one thing, if this person is even real, I would not appreciate my man talking to one of his ex’s even if it was his 30th bday. I was also talking to one of my friends about this, she seems to think that he is making this relationship up. Now I don’t really think that he would go to that extreme as to make something like this up. But you never know. My friend thinks that because I wasn’t contacting him for close to a month that that was the only thing that he could come up with so that I’d speak to him. For whatever reason she won’t believe me when I tell her that it’s not in his nature to do this. Can someone else elaborate so she’ll believe me……………

  16. Hi A

    Taureans are very straight forward and I don’t think he is deliberately making things
    up because it’s not like you have been ignoring him is it.? You spoke to him on the
    phone wished him happy birthday so why would he need a reason to talk to you.?

    Has he picked up his hoodies and other stuff he left behind.???

    Why don’t you try to find a reasonable excuse to at least see him on a friendly basis
    so you can talk face to face and then you will be able to read his body language when
    you exchange sentimental conversation regarding the two of you.???

    How else do you expect to either reconnect or put closure to your relationship when
    you avoid having a heart to heart with someone you still “LOVE”.???

    With a Taurus you need to prove to them that you are willing to “FIGHT” for them and
    that you have the ultimate requirement which is “STAYING POWER”.!!!

    Are you willing to do that A.???

  17. Absolutely not. I know he isn’t making it up. As I said before I’m done and he is scum and I won’t speak to him anymore.

  18. Karissa15

    I don’t think you are understanding my point if view on this. I simply don’t want it to have staying power. I think you ny friend are a hopeless romantic type, don’t get me wrong I’m am too, but I’m also not going to delude myself into thinking that there is anything worth saving in this. I don’t think someone who was supposedly ‘in love’ with you would react the way he did. And I don’t think anyone should have to try as hard as I did to get through to him. I’m just another one of those dumb girls who believed an asshat’s lies and got her heart broken and lost something very special to her.

  19. Hi A

    I don’t know about being hopeless because I have learned a very hard lesson in the
    “ROMANCE” department but the fact is if there is no “ROMANCE and CHEMISTY”
    then there is no “HOPE” in hell of even considering the prospect of an involvement
    let alone a relationship but that’s me and that will never change.

    First of all A, you are “NOT DUMB” and I know you tried very hard to make your
    relationship work but sometimes no matter how hard you try things just go wrong
    for whatever reason and all you can do is learn from it and hope that the next time
    things will be different although in the majority of cases the scenario just repeats
    itself and people find themselves in the same predicament all over again. What can
    I say those are the mysteries of life which shall never be solved no matter what.???

    I honestly do not believe that this Taurus of yours was just a passing fancy where his
    feelings toward you were concerned but he sounds impulsive and impatient where his
    physical needs are concerned which can be a typical “Male Taurean” trait combined
    with other aspects of his personality and his age which is still at the evolving faze and
    he has not fully matured.

    I am a firm believer in the age old proverb of “YOU ARE BETTER OFF WITH THE DEVIL
    YOU KNOW THAN THE DEVIL YOU DON’T”. Unless offcourse the relationship has
    reached the point of no return due to the fact that there is nothing left and it can not be
    salvaged because it is “HARMFUL” to your “MIND, HEART and SOUL”.???

    If you feel the need to close the book because this story has finally reached an ending then
    by all means do but at least you did your best and you will have not “REGRETS” when you
    move on and not be consumed with the what ifs.??? The memories will still be there but you
    are very young and you will make new ones with someone whom will be in a better frame of
    mind where his maturity level will equal your own and hopefully he will not break your “BIG
    and BEAUTIFUL HEART.!!!

    Cheer up lovely one because you “LIVE and you LEARN” that’s what “LIFE” is all about.!!!

  20. The Story and Glory of Love.!!!

    Being in love is beautiful and indeed blind
    why do we ignore each and every warning
    sign.?

    Do we ever learn with the passing of time.?

    The sacrifices we make the pain we endure
    for that special someone we place upon a
    pedestal but whom is far from pure.

    It matters not, not to us we continue to forgive
    them even though they hurt us time and time
    again until the sweet bitter end.

    Listen to me to what I have to say, I have
    learned something from this and days of
    yesterday.

    What is it wise one exclaims their psyche.?

    I shall never love again that much I know
    for love maybe beautiful and indeed I was
    blind, but now I have seen the light which
    shines ever so bright.

    Love may have had me fooled but I am no
    longer blind.

    Perhaps so said their psyche but do you
    honestly believe you are able to erase
    the memories it left behind.???

    Cheers and keep smiling. Taurus

  21. No I won’t ever forget. But the things he put me through, I just can’t forgive. I mean seriously I had to call my friend to come sit with me at the hospital when I was having the miscarriage, and for why? Because he was MIA probably with his new gf. So no, I just have nothing for him anymore.
