Let’s reframe this for a second. Possessiveness means that someone is deeply invested. And when a Taurus is acting possessive, it means they’re protecting someone they deeply love. Possessiveness is essentially loyalty, devotion, and commitment to an unwavering degree. Tauruses give their whole heart and soul to those they deem worthy—and if you happen to be make the cut, consider yourself lucky. A Taurus will defend you against harm, no matter what. You’ve got someone you can count on for the long haul. However, I of course understand that people are not possessions and no one should be controlled. Pro tip: Communicate compassionately with your Taurus and explain that just because you want freedom doesn’t mean you don’t care for them. Nine times out of ten, they’ll back off.
