Looking for a way to move on from a breakup with your Taurus ex? Want to find a way to open your heart for new love in life again? It’s never easy to get over someone, especially someone as steady as you thought your Taurus fella was. However, there are many fish in the sea, as they say, and the sooner you can move on, the quicker you can see that!
It’s never easy moving on, right? If you’ve been dating a Taurus guy, it’s likely you’ve been dating him for a long time. This is a sign well-known for their commitment and consistency in relationships.
Yet, at the same time, this is also the Zodiac sign known for their inability to deal with change – the change of a breakup – so, they end up behaving badly simply due to that defect in character. It’s possible that this guy has really hurt you, and that can sometimes make it easier to move on.
For example, he was unfaithful, or he just began stonewalling you. Maybe you felt like he was there, but not really there. Or, maybe you just got tired of being with someone so routine-bound and, well, boring.
Whatever your reason was, it’s time to move on and look at brighter horizons! We often don’t realize it, but there is likely someone out there who is so much better suited to you! Someone who makes your world exciting again, someone who can adore you and be open to change.
Someone, perhaps, not as stubborn and infuriating as your Taurus ex, who may have driven you crazy with their insistence on doing the same thing, day in and day out. If that’s not enough reason to move on, here are some tips and tricks to help that process go much smoother for you!
In my years as a relationship astrologer, I have walked thousands of women through exactly this moment, the strange ache of leaving a Taurus man behind. He is ruled by Venus and born under fixed earth, which means he attaches slowly and holds on with a grip most signs never match. That is also why moving on from him can feel heavier than any breakup you have been through before. In a survey of over 5,600 women involved with Taurus men, nearly 1 in 5 described their situation as “it’s complicated,” and that one word captures why letting go of this steady, stubborn man is rarely simple.
Before we get into the seven tips, I want you to know there is a clear path forward, whether you want to close this chapter for good or quietly leave the door open. If you want to understand the way his Venus-ruled heart actually works, so you can stop replaying every memory and finally breathe again, my full guide Taurus Man Secrets breaks down his psychology step by step.
7 Tips to Move On From A Breakup With A Taurus Man
1. Don’t Engage With Him For A While
As flattering as it may feel to have home holding onto you for forever and day, it’s just toxic, actually. Taurus men tend to try and try again, simply because they cannot handle the change of breaking up. Even if your relationship was never going to work, they’d hold on out of pure stubbornness.
This could mean that he pulls you back all too easily into his world, weakening your resolve and making you take a thousand steps back when you were just moving ahead. Answering his texts, allowing him to see you, or going over to his house is just never going to help.
Cut contact, at least for a few weeks, while you give yourself the chance and opportunity to get better and move on!
2. Change Your Home Environment
It’s likely that you and your Taurus ex spent a huge amount of time on the couch. Or, in the garden, kitchen or bedroom. Basically, anywhere in his house (usually), and sometimes your house. Taurus men love their homes – it’s their kingdom.
But it got boring right? How often did you have a change in scenery? Have you wanted to move homes or neighborhoods for the longest time, but had to contain his panic? Maybe you just wanted to redecorate or renovate, or get a housemate.
Whatever it is or was, go ahead and try changing your home environment. Get a brand-new lounge suite, paint your bedroom, or move home! This will hit the refresh button like nothing else!
3. Go On A Diet/Detox
Did you find yourself eating so much more when you dated your Taurus guy? It’s no secret that he really loves his food, find rich food at that! Pastas, cakes, chocolate and good wine filled your days and nights, but at the end of the day, it added to your waistline.
Now’s the perfect time to go on a bit of detox of some kind, like a juice fast for example. Not only will you drop the extra weight, but you’ll feel in control, confident and back to your old self!
Plus, you’ll soon be glowing and looking so good that you’ll barely have to lift a finger for someone new to cue into your life!
4. Do New, Exciting Things
Did you find yourself getting bored with your Taurus guy? Going to the same restaurant every Friday night, or visiting the same old friends over and over again? Life is definitely yawn-worthy with the Taurus man at times, so now’s the time to spread your wings and fly!
A great way to move on and enjoy doing it, is by trying some new, exciting things. Go to a club you’ve never been to, take a course, read a spiritual book and book a solo travel adventure to somewhere you’ve never been before.
The possibilities are endless – and you never know how you could meet on the way!
5. Book Regular Massages
You’re probably really missing the gentle and sensual touch of your Taurus man, right? That’s one thing he always got right, no matter how dull and stubborn he was! Everyone needs to be touched, to be hugged, and cuddled and loved. And there’s no reason to be missing that!
Make it your mission to book a monthly or bi-weekly message with someone trusted. Get all your sensual needs met here – with the bonus of not having to give netting back in return – besides payment, of course.
Of course, you could also always go out on sexy dates and bring the guy back home to perform a (ahem) massage!
6. Get A Pet
Another way to get the comfort and touch that you’re missing from your Taurus man is by getting a pet. A cat or dog is best, something you can pet, hug and love. This will release happy hormones into your body and help you move on quicker instead of yearning for his touch.
Pets are also a fantastic distraction from a broken heart. Also, if you decide to get a dog, you may also one day meet another sexy dog-lover who will help you open your heart to new possibilities!

7. Enjoy A Break From Routine
You know what, it’s such a wonderful thing to not have to do the same thing all the time. To not have to wake up at the same time each and every day. To not have to have the same meals on the same days.
How can you shake up your routine? Do you want to go for a morning jog instead of an evening jog? Or cut out meat for a while? Aye you want to work flexible hours, or see your friends on a Friday instead of a Thursday?
The world is your oyster now, and you’ll soon see how great it is not to be shackled to someone who can’t deal with change. Plus, the more your shake up your routine, the more likely it is that you’ll meet someone new!
How Long It Really Takes a Taurus Man to Move On (And Why Yours Might Be Stuck)
One of the first questions women ask me after a Taurus breakup is how long he will take to get over it, and the honest answer is longer than you expect. Taurus is a fixed sign, which means he resists change in every form, including the change of losing you. Where an air sign might process the split in a few weeks of busy distraction, your Taurus man tends to sit with it quietly for months, refusing to redecorate the life the two of you built. He may look perfectly fine on the surface while privately keeping your photos, your playlist, and the routines you shared completely untouched.
This is important for your own healing, because his slow timeline can pull you back in if you are not careful. A Taurus man who reaches out three months later is not necessarily ready to do anything differently. More often he is simply uncomfortable with the empty space where you used to be, and his instinct is to fill it with the most familiar thing he knows, which is you. Understanding that pattern frees you to move at your own pace instead of waiting on his.
Why Letting Go of a Taurus Man Feels Harder Than Any Sign Before Him
If this breakup is hitting you harder than the ones that came before, you are not imagining it. Venus, his ruling planet, governs touch, comfort, and sensory pleasure, so a relationship with a Taurus man wraps itself around your senses. The smell of his cooking, the weight of his arm, the particular calm of a slow Sunday with him, these become anchors in your nervous system. When he is gone, your body grieves the comfort as much as the man.
There is also the matter of how rare his steadiness is. In a survey of more than 5,600 women involved with Taurus men, 64 percent said they felt a definite, genuine connection with him, the kind that is hard to find and harder to replace. Losing that does not just hurt your heart, it shakes your sense of what is possible. The good news is that the same sensory wiring that makes him so hard to forget is exactly what you can use to rebuild your own comfort, which is what most of these seven tips are quietly designed to do.
The 3 Biggest Mistakes Women Make When Moving On From a Taurus Man
The first mistake is staying in light contact because cutting him off feels too final. With most signs a friendly check-in is harmless, but a Taurus man reads consistency as commitment. Every text keeps a thread of hope alive in him and, more painfully, in you. The second mistake is trying to make him jealous to force a reaction. Taurus is possessive but proud, and the usual result is that he goes silent and stubborn rather than racing back. You end up feeling more rejected than before.
The third mistake is rushing into a rebound that looks nothing like him, hoping novelty will erase the loss. It rarely does, because what you are missing is not excitement but safety, and a chaotic rebound only highlights how grounded he made you feel. Move toward steadiness in your own life first, through the new routines, the pet, the regular massage, the refreshed home, and you will find that a healthier connection arrives on its own once you are no longer reaching backward.
Will Your Taurus Man Come Back, and What to Do If You Do Not Want Him To
Because Taurus is the sign least comfortable with change, there is a real chance he will circle back, especially in the first few months. Getting an ex back is one of the most common reasons women come to me about this sign, and many of those reconciliations are driven by his discomfort rather than genuine growth. So before you answer that returning text, get clear on what you actually want. If a part of you still hopes to rebuild on a healthier foundation, that is valid, and it is worth understanding exactly how his heart reopens.
If you know in your bones that you are done, the kindest thing for both of you is a clean, unwavering boundary. Taurus respects clarity even when he resists it, and a single calm message that closes the door does more than a dozen drawn-out conversations. Either way, the more you understand his psychology, the less power his next move has over your peace. If you want the full map of how a Taurus man thinks, attaches, and lets go, my complete guide Taurus Man Secrets walks you through every stage so you can make your next choice from confidence instead of confusion.
Frequently Asked Questions About Moving On From a Taurus Man
Do Taurus men regret breaking up?
Yes, and often more deeply than they let on. A Taurus man invests slowly and sincerely, so when a relationship ends he carries the weight of everything he built. His regret tends to surface quietly, in the way he keeps your gifts, drives past familiar places, or asks a mutual friend how you are doing rather than reaching out directly.
What makes him different from other signs is that regret alone will not always move him to act. His fear of change can be stronger than his longing, so he may sit in that regret for a long time without doing anything about it. If he does come back, it is usually only after he has convinced himself that returning is safer than staying away. Knowing this protects you from mistaking his silence for indifference, or his return for true readiness.
Does the no contact rule work on a Taurus man?
No contact is one of the most effective approaches with a Taurus man, precisely because he is a creature of habit. When you suddenly remove yourself from his routine, the absence registers loudly in a life built around the familiar. He notices the missing texts, the empty seat, the quiet phone, and that void does more emotional work than any argument ever could.
The key is that no contact has to be real, not a performance you abandon the moment he likes a photo. Give it several weeks of genuine silence while you pour that energy into your own restoration. Whether your goal is to heal and move on or to reset the dynamic, the steadiness of true no contact speaks to him in the language he understands best, which is consistency.
How do you know when a Taurus man is truly over you?
A Taurus man who is truly over you stops fighting the change. The clearest sign is not anger but neutrality. When he can talk to you without tension, return your belongings without ceremony, and make no effort to keep a thread alive, his fixed heart has finally accepted the new normal. That acceptance is slow to arrive, which is why so many women misread his lingering attachment as hope.
You may also notice he has built new routines that do not include you, and protects them. Because Taurus guards his comfort, a settled new rhythm is the surest evidence he has moved his sense of stability somewhere else. It can sting to see, but it is also your permission to fully release him and turn toward your own future.
Will a Taurus man miss you after the breakup?
Almost certainly, though he may never say it in plain words. Taurus feels absence physically, through the senses, so he misses the texture of you, the meals, the touch, the comfortable quiet, often more than he misses the conversations. This is why the women in my community who focus on rebuilding their own sensory comfort tend to heal fastest, and why his missing you does not obligate you to do anything at all.
If you do hope he comes back, understand that his missing you and his acting on it are two separate things. He can ache for you for months while his fear of change keeps him frozen. Your job is never to wait in that frozen space with him, but to keep moving forward whether he does or not.
Should you stay friends with a Taurus man after a breakup?
In most cases I gently advise against it, at least in the early months. A Taurus man will happily accept a friendship that keeps you close, because it spares him the change he dreads, but that comfort comes at your expense. Staying in his orbit keeps your heart tethered and makes the clean break far harder to achieve.
If a real friendship is ever going to be possible, it can only come after both of you have fully moved on and the romantic charge has truly faded. Until then, distance is not coldness, it is self-respect. Give yourself the months of space you need first, and let any future friendship grow from a place where it can no longer keep you stuck.

Your friend and Relationship Astrologer,
Anna Kovach
Yes i’ve currently split up with one. After him going silent on me for a few months i found he was seeing someone else. I was devastated. I’ve coped is by keeping busy. Painting my walls another colour. Buying new things for my home. Changing my hairstyle. Posting photos of me online looking amazing.
Mine totally used me & everything always the same routine, lack of intimacy etc. I feel free not being with him & his sore personality. I’m working on building back my self-esteem and self-love. I’m a Virgo woman & he used me to as a come-up chick. I’m planning on going to therapy and heal from all this relationship toxicity. My message is to whoever reads this is to never settle & know your worth.
Dear Christie,
I fully agree with you!
Always remember, you deserve to be loved and respected.
Never chase love, attention, or affection. It isn’t worth it if it isn’t given to you freely.
I hope that soon you will meet a man who will be everything you ever hoped for.
Sending love to you!
