Taureans tend to value and become a bit obsessive about their possessions. They like things of high quality and often go to great lengths to obtain something special. This derives from Venus' love of beauty and pleasure, but is tempered with the Bull's steadfast, earthbound, possessive quality and the Earth element's focus on hearth and home. Collectors they are, and sometimes prone to drool over mail order catalogs.

Libra, on the other hand, ruled also by Venus, loves beautiful things and acquiring possessions...but, tempered by the balance of the Scales and the Air element, Librans' love of possessions pertains only the to physical beauty or pleasingness of the item, not its intrinsic value. You get a lot of trash-pickers and thrift-shoppers among Librans!
