TAURUS

Taureans are stubborn and cannot tolerate any changes not of their own making. However, they are able to accomplish many things in life because of their ability to stick with a project long after many others may have lost patience with it.

The astrological symbol for Taurus is the Bull and indeed, the stubborn bullheaded nature of the Taurean personality can be extremely formidable to those who have come up against it. On the positive side, their quiet strength and determination inspires others to trust them. Because they dislike being unable to rely on others, they are usually very dependable themselves.

Taurus people make excellent executives. They love money and enjoy earning piles of it. When a Taurus person gets rich, he hangs on to his money, investing it in sound stocks and bonds, building houses and some have been known to store valuables under their mattress.

Taureans react to what they experience by assessing its possible worth. That is, before they take physical action, before they sort out their emotional involvement, and before they reason it out intellectually, they ascertain what tangible advantages are to be gained from the experience. What appears too vague fails to attract more than their passing interest. They need a definite purpose in what they do.

The planet of beauty and pleasure, Venus, rules Taurus which means that by nature, people born with Sun in Taurus are sensuous, seekers of personal comfort and physical pleasure. Their inherent nature endows them with an appreciative eye for both monetary value as well as aesthetic beauty. They are lovers of nature and natural things. Their harmony in life is tied to reality and the material world. On each end of the scale they tend to either accumulate wealth and never use it, or recklessly squander it without improving the quality or enjoyment of their lives. Their natural cautiousness saves them from making mistakes, but it can also prevent them from taking advantage of valuable opportunities.

As a rule, Taureans are physically strong and solidly built. Even those who are not fat, may be physically more dense per pound of body weight. They usually like to putter around the garden, and readily engage in other outdoor activities such as picnics, hikes, and trips to botanical gardens or a zoo. They love music and art and may have considerable talent in these areas. They often have a pleasant speaking or singing voice. Though Taureans tend to be rather subdued, they have a lively sense of humor, and enjoy socializing.

Sensuality belongs to Taurus. Wherever there is pleasure you will find a Taurus-native right in the middle of it all. They love to bask in the "good life."

Taurus colors are brown, russet, and turquoise. Vulnerable parts of the body are the neck, throat, shoulders, and upper torso. Stiff necks, sore throats, and earaches are common Taurean complaints. The emerald, a variety of the mineral beryl and as costly as a diamond, is the Taurus birthstone. The emerald's rich green color is suitably Taurean since it is the color of money, green pastures, and serenity. Flowers for Taurus are the rose (red), daisy, lily, and daffodil.
