Taurus About Your Self... |
The Taurean's characteristics are solidity, practicality, extreme
determination and strength of will - no one will ever drive
them, but they will willingly and loyally follow a leader they
trust. They are stable, balanced, conservative good, law-abiding
citizens and lovers of peace, possessing all the best qualities
of the bourgeoisie. As they have a sense of material values
and physical possessions, respect for property and a horror
of falling into debt, they will do everything in their power
to maintain the security of the status quo and be somewhat hostile
to change.
Mentally, they are keen-witted and practical more often than
intellectual, but apt to become fixed in their opinions through
their preference for following accepted and reliable patterns
of experience. Their character is generally dependable, steadfast,
prudent, just, firm and unshaken in the face of difficulties.
Their vices arise from their virtues, going to extremes on occasion,such
as sometimes being too slavish to the conventions they admire.
On rare occasions a Taurean may be obstinately and exasperatingly
self-righteous, unoriginal, rigid, ultraconservative, argumentative,
querulous bores, stuck in a self-centered rut. They may develop
a brooding resentment through nursing a series of injuries received
and, whether their characters are positive or negative, they
need someone to stroke their egos with a frequent, "Well
Done!" Most Taureans are not this extreme though.
They are faithful and generous friends with a great capacity
for affection, but rarely make friends with anyone outside their
social rank, to which they are ordinarily excessively faithful.
In the main, they are gentle, even tempered, good natured, modest
and slow to anger, disliking quarreling and avoiding ill-feeling.
If they are provoked, however, they can explode into violent
outbursts of ferocious anger in which they seem to lose all
self-control. Equally unexpected are their occasional sallies
into humor and exhibitions of fun.
Although their physical appearance may belie it, they have a
strong aesthetic taste, enjoying art, for which they may have
a talent, beauty (recoiling from anything sordid or ugly) and
music. They may have a strong, sometimes unconventional, religious
faith. Allied to their taste for all things beautiful is a love
for the good things of life pleasure, comfort, luxury and good
food and wine and they may have to resist the temptation to
over indulgence, leading to drunkenness, gross sensuality, and
covetousness. In their work, Taureans are industrious and good
craftspeople, and are not afraid of getting their hands dirty.
They are reliable, practical, methodical and ambitious, within
a framework of obedience to superiors. They are at their best
in routine positions of trust and responsibility, where there
is little need of urgency and even less risk of change, and
a pension at the end. Yet they are creative and good founders
of enterprises where the rewards of their productiveness come
from their own work and not that of others. They can flourish
in many different trades and professions: banking, architecture,
building, almost any form of bureaucracy, auctioneering, farming,
medicine, chemistry, industry Taureans make good managers and
foremen surveying, insurance, education and, perhaps surprisingly,
music and sculpture. They make an ideal trustee or guardian,
and can attain eminence as a chef. Some Taureans are gifted
enough in singing to become opera stars or to excel in more
popular types of music.
They are more than averagely amorous and sensually self-conscious,
but sexually straightforward and not given to experiment. They
make constant, faithful, home loving spouses and thoughtful,
kindly parents, demanding too much of neither their spouses
nor children. They can be over possessive and may sometimes
play the game of engineering family roles for the pleasure of
making up the quarrel. If anyone offends their amour proper
they can be a determined enemy, though magnanimous in forgiveness
if their opponent makes an effort to meet them halfway.
No other sign in the zodiac is closer to earth then Taurus.
The main objective in leading a Taurean life is primarily (though
not entirely) to maintain stability and physical concerns. Your
inner spiritual sense longs for earthly harmony and wholesomeness.
When you fully understand this, and work toward this end, you
will no longer need to blindly reassure yourself with external
possessions and comforts. A realization that finding this inner
peace will cause all of the above mentioned positive things
will overtake you and your life will be very full.
Ultimately the Taurean needs to discover their truest, deepest
and highest values. When they know what is truly valuable, they
are no longer chained to people and to things that have to do
with lesser values. The greatest indication of value to a Taurean
is beauty, which cannot be owned, only appreciated.

Possible Health Concerns... |
Taurus governs the throat and neck and its subjects need to
beware throat infections, goiter and respiratory ailments such
as asthma. They are said to be at risk of diseases of the genitals,
womb, liver and kidneys, and of abscesses and rheumatism. Because
their body type has an inclination to physical laziness, Taureans
can be overweight.

PROBLEMS THAT MAY ARISE FOR YOU, AND THEIR SOLUTIONS |
As with all sun signs, we all have unique traits to our personalities.
When these traits are suppressed, or unrealized, problems will
arise. However, with astrology we can examine the problem and
assess the proper solution based on the sun sign characteristics.
As a Taurean you may see things below that really strike home.
Try the solution, you most likely will be amazed at the results.
If you find yourself on the receiving end of the negatives below,
it is because you are failing to express the positive.
Problem : Having feelings of being used and manipulated,
led down the garden path and made a sucker of.
Solution : Realize that your magnetism attracts negative
as well as positive influences. You need to choose your friends,
not let them choose you.
Problem : Physical
things start loosing their appeal, and you feel more and more
out of touch with the world around you. You stop caring so much
about how much money you have among other physical concerns.
Solution : You are starting to discover an inner harmony
that is trying to replace the physical with spiritual. You must
let this grow without killing the part of you that provides
sustenance for your family.
Problem : Unexplained fear of loss, jealousy and a paranoia
that others are out to get you.
Solution : You have within you the ability to not only
attract faithfulness, but also the intellect to see what is
truly going on around you. You are loosing faith in both of
these personal traits. Rebuild that faith.
Problem : Feeling depressed with life. Disgusted and
dissatisfied. People around you are little comfort. You feel
that life lacks meaning. Easily addicted to physical pleasures.
Solution : Revisit and realize the value of spiritual
things in life. Take control of your life by realizing it is
not the things in life that are important, but the spirit behind
it all.
