2) Taurus: Norman Bates (Psycho)
A Taurus likes being grounded and reliable and is a little bit stubborn. Norman Bates from Psycho is the closest to this sign with his deep connection to his home and mother. Norman is possessive; he holds on too tightly to what he values, even if it’s a bit creepy.
