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.
