Taurus
isn't necessarily like a Bull in a ring with a
toreador. You could be more like peace-loving
Ferdinand, seeking the gentle meadows filled with
flowers, sunshine and natural beauty. It's only
Taurus stubbornness that can make you angry enough
to charge at someone who is disturbing your peace.
Taurus are noted for your determination. You get
to where you are going, not because you are
exceptionally fast or clever, but because Taurus
will not be distracted from your goals. Your need
for stability and simplicity can motivate Taurus
to create a life for yourself that is quite
functional, though it might seem boring to someone
else. But Taurus aren't interested in taking
unnecessary risks that can put your solid footing
in jeopardy.
Taurus motto might be "Take care of the senses and
everything else will take care of itself." It may
be that your attraction to material things is less
about the objects themselves than it is about the
pleasure they bring to your senses. Comfortable
living and working space is important to Taurus,
along with nice linens, clothing, food and music.
And, as one of the most practical signs, Taurus
outlook on life is usually quite sensible. As
Taurus plod along in life, getting what you need
in order to survive, don't forget to look at the
beauty that is beyond the material world of
material possessions.
Element: Earth
Earth signs are naturally practical. In this
lifetime we are bound to Earth. There is no
escaping the reality around us. The Earth is about
as real as it gets; it can be felt, weighed and it
has substance. Accordingly, the earth signs base
their life on what is real, not what is imagined.
Sensation is valued over thoughts or feelings.
Earth signs live with their feet on the ground.
Others seek their advice because of their basic
sensibility. For earth signs, seeing is believing.
The earth of Taurus is simple and sensible. It's
about getting back to basics. This is about
working the earth in a garden or about having the
tools that we need in order to build.
Second House: Possessions
The Second House symbolizes those things that are
of value to us. Personal possessions are within
this domain, as is our money. Anything having
personal value is associated with the Second House.
It also represents those things we value that are
not things. When you think about what is most
important to you -- your own values -- you are
indeed thinking about your Second House.
Key Planet: Venus
Venus is the planet of love and desire. She is in
charge of romance and beauty. But Venus isn't only
about physical love; she's also symbolic of the
ideal love. When we see a beautiful painting or
other work or art, Venus is present. She is the
beauty of a rose as much as she is the attraction
we have to someone we love. As the key planet of
Taurus, Venus is sensual and simple. We fulfill
the senses with beauty and life is good.
Taurus Greatest Strength: Your sensible
outlook on life
Taurus Possible Weakness: Accepting less
than you can achieve
