Taurus

Taurus the Bull is content to live each day for the pleasure, calm, and stability it holds. Change isn’t high on the list of things to lookforward to for this sign. People born during this part of the zodiac thrive on security and order and will schedule every area of their life, from eating to working,playing, and sleeping. They are careful, reliable, and practical. They are honest and consistent with family and friends and expect thesame in return. Loyalty is also very important to them. Taurus is often methodical and reserved. With tremendous willpower and self-discipline, they are inclined to plod along, sticking totraditional, accepted ways of doing things. Although they may be slower than others like, they always finish what they start. Their goals are always realistic, if not particularly ambitious.

This astrology sign isn’t generally a risk taker and likes to weigh every decision carefully. Opinionated and stubborn, once a Taureanmakes up his or her mind, they don’t usually waiver. They tend to fight for what they believe in. As with a few other zodiac signs,bullying a Taurus will only result in rebellion and resentment. Taurus tastes are simple and pragmatic. They are known for a love of food, clothes, and the finer things in life, although theirpreferences fall more towards the no-frills side. The Taurus personality is also a romantic, attracted to beauty and sensuality in anything pleasing to the senses – color, touch, sound, taste, and smell.

On the negative side, this star sign can be possessive of everything – friends, family, and things. They are big collectors but don’tparticularly like to share. Although they don’t get angry quickly, when they do, they don’t get over it quickly either. They tend to bequite stubborn and skeptical and refuse to try anything new. Of all the Zodiac signs, Taurus is the most cautious about astrology oranything else mystical that can’t be scientifically proven once and for all.

Taurus finds it difficult to socialize with others and is often alone by choice. This zodiac sign is also known for exhilbiting a lazy streak.And many adult Taureans exhibit an overly trusting, childlike charm, wending their way through a life that to them is simplistically blackand white.

People with this sign are prone to being overweight and can overindulge in food if not discouraged early on. Health wise, Taurus tendsto get more than their share of sore throats, earaches, and skin problems. These folks have a natural ability to develop and maintain wealth and will stand out in vocations that are connected with money such asbanking and finance. They also generally excel as architects, builders, accountants, auctioneers, or real estate brokers. For some withthis sun sign, greed can be a problem. Gifted with an artistic ability, Taurus may do well at crafts. They also like to garden and are often attracted to landscape design. They may also find their passion in music or performing arts. The characteristics of taurus 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, the caracteristics of taurus 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. Taurus 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 Taurus 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 Taurus people 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, Taurus 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 Taurus 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 Taurus 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.
