Taurus
April 20 - May 20
Taurus is ruled by the Planet
Venus, a lovely gal who didn't deny herself
many things. In ancient Roman mythology,
Venus was the Goddess of Love, Beauty
and Pleasure, and Taureans have pretty
much taken up where she left off. Bulls are
fond of all things pretty, whether it's in their
home, at a museum or on the stage. Life as
one sweet pas de deux is how the
Taurean-born like it. To onlookers, this may
look like so much materialism and blessed
excess, but Bulls really aren't interested in
living without beauty in their lives. Beauty to
the Bull also comes in the way of a happy
home life, one which includes a partner and a
stable relationship.
Taureans value harmony in their personal lives, so they'll work hard on
keeping their mate happy. The Bull's
penchant for sensual pleasures, of course,
can only help things along! Bulls can
also be the sappiest of sentimentalists.
Will all this overweening attention to their
mate turn a Bull into a possessive mess?
Probably not, although these folks do have
to manage their tendency to latch on a bit
tight. At the end of the day, however, the
Taurean-born are true romantics and loyal to
the core.
The Element associated with Taurus is Earth.
No pie-in-the-sky for these practical folks,
since they'd much rather be on terra firma.
Bulls tend toward conservatism, and this is
often seen in their day-to-day behavior. No
far-out schemes (that's Air) or shrieking
ultimatums (more like Fire) here. Taureans
far prefer to take each day slowly and
steadily and work toward their ultimate goal.
Along these lines, those born under this Sign
are happy to stick with their projects until
they have reached a successful conclusion.
They are also extremely patient and
dependable along the way. Does that sound earthy
enough? The only kink in this well-oiled
chain is the heckler in the gallery that tries to
upbraid the Bull. These folks may not have a
hair-trigger temper, but it's short enough.
Bulls in a hissy fit can get pretty
argumentative, but eventually they'll calm
down and come back to center, since these
folks would much rather be Zen. The Earth
in this Sign does tend to act as a balancing
mechanism so that things never get truly out
of hand. For every one person who
considers the Bull a pain, there are two who
will say 'No way!' and happily take the
Taurean's gentle charms any day.
