Taurus
Sun-sign
by Julia Parker
Taurus Sun-sign: April 21 -May 21
Taureans, to function properly, need to live their lives in the knowledge
that they have the security of a regular income and a stable emotional
relationship. When this is achieved they are in the right position to achieve a
great deal. Their most outstanding virtue is patience, they will plod very
steadily onwards, and soon learn that short cuts are usually disastrous for
them.
Taureans need a steady, predictable routine, but the sort of rut in which
they may get themselves will increase their sense of much-needed security and,
within its confines, they will achieve much. But Taureans must also make
something of an effort to break new ground, do new and different things, and be
open to the opinions of others in order to move with the times and to make sure
that they are not missing out on life as it is actually being lived by other
people.
Visit a Taurean's home and you will relax on comfortable cushions, find
the colors used in decoration pleasing, and the place not lacking in beautiful
things which will have cost the Taurean rather more than he or she can actually
afford. This might seem superficial, but these outward expressions form an
important part of the whole Taurean motivation.
Possessions to the Taurean are
very important. In fact, possessiveness is the major Taurean fault. The two go
together. Taureans love to own beautiful things, and they really do need to be
aware that their partner is not an extension of this basic urge. The realization that no one can actually be possessed by another can be a
cause of real heartache to Taureans. The sooner they learn to adopt a
self-analytical and critical attitude in their expression of love the better, as
this can help them to express themselves in a less claustrophobic way towards
their partners.
Most Taureans have a happy knack either of making money or doing a great
deal with what they have. They combine this with the ability to build up their
own businesses and — often with the aid of a more adventurous partner — will
achieve much. They also do extremely well in banking or working for large
multinational companies, as their need for financial security is then taken care
of, and they can express themselves in the knowledge that the regular pay-check
will arrive when expected.
Taurean Physical Challenge
The Taurean body-area is the throat; colds often begin here, with a sore
throat or loss of voice. Taureans have the reputation of being the best looking
people in the Zodiac, due partly to their ruling planet which is Venus. But
because most Taureans love rich food, with heavy sweet things being particular favorites, they have a tendency to put on weight. Also, they are often slow
movers and so do not burn up their additional calories very quickly, so a
conscious and continual check on the amount of food and wine they consume is
essential if they are going to keep the good looks they so often have when they
are young.
Taureans in the Family
Taureans make kind and loving parents, but tend to spoil their children
with too many expensive presents. They can be on the strict side when
disciplining their children, which may or may not be a good thing according to
the individual child. Taurean children are delightful, but it is important for
their parents not to rush them. Slow, steady progress is their way, and no
sudden bursts should be expected. But once a Taurean has learned something,
excellent powers of retention come into play.
Many Taureans are extremely
musical and it can become an important form of self-expression for them if they
study singing or a musical instrument. To others the appreciation of music is
important. Some will get great satisfaction from embroidery, sewing, pottery, and
sculpture. Basically artistic and appreciative of the arts, they sometimes need
encouragement to get a round to spending time and energy in this direction. It is
good when involvement along these lines occurs, since it is one way of preventing
any tendency towards being marginally sybaritic at times.
