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
