Taurus About Your
Sign...
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.
