Taurus

Taurus has a deep rooted need for material and emotional stability. Both of these things are fundamental to his sense of well being, and he instinctively withholds and conserves whatever belongs to him. Taureans’ have a need to possess, whether objects, money, or people. Security has to manifest itself in a tangible, unchanging form, so that it can be relied upon. Taureans possess a strong security building impulse and make good investors, bankers, and accountants. This is the first of the Earth signs on the zodiac wheel and as a result he is deeply practical and realistic. Taurus is learning to relate to the earthy world, and build a sense of permanent worth into it. The essential purpose of this zodiac sign is to maintain the stability of earthly things, and to have a highly developed sense of harmony and wholesomeness. Taurus represents the need to put down roots and establish a home base as he is a practical no nonsense sign. Taurus has a patient, docile and accepting nature. The Taurean respects the value of money, and works long and hard to achieve his goals.

Taurus doesn’t like anything which demands immediate action thrust into his face, he needs a slow and relaxed pace with plenty of time to consider things carefully. The possible pitfalls to avoid if you are born under this sign is becoming stubborn and refusing to budge, often he can be entrenched in familiar worlds of habit and routine to the point of being stuck in a rut. The Bulls inner stillness turns to stagnation. Taurus is in touch with his sensual side, and as a physical sign he has strong instinctive driven desires that seek satisfaction in very personal ways. The sign has a deep affinity for music, design, good food, and all the good things in life. His appetite and appreciation for food can lead to weight problems. It is the ’sensual’ and not the ’sexual’ manner that pleases his senses.

Touching, tasting, hearing, smelling and seeing helps Taurus appreciate life from it’s most basic physical level. Taureans are ruled by the planet Venus and are born romantics with a need to indulge in the tactile expression of love. Taurus has endless patience and an easy peace loving disposition, he is also extremely loyal and steadfast with a grounded nature. Taurus has the ability to create an atmosphere of peace and tranquility, and this is highly conductive for the formation of a stable and loving relationship. Taurus has a flair for design and colour and enjoys deep affinity with music, and he will often possess a beautiful singing or speaking voice. While this is a dependable sign on the physical plane, as the first fixed sign of the zodiac wheel he is the most inflexible of all the fixed signs. Security is what Taurus can trust, what he can trust doesn’t change, corrode, or leave him. Taurus is not idealistic in his nature he just knows how to sustain and preserve what he value’s in life. The main objective is to stabilize conditions by carefully building frameworks of security that will prove everlasting.

One critical theme of Taurus is to cultivate self value, and establish his personal sense of self worth; something that does not come from external sources such as wealth or a prestigious title, it has to come from the deeper subjective part of self, for it to feel truly valuable to him. Once such self worth is established nobody can take it away. When Taurus finds his true purpose in life his inner creativity knows no bounds and the talents and skills he possesses are all expressions of an artistic nature. The deepest motivation for Taurus is to be useful and productive, to build something solid, permanent, and tangible in the world. Taurus inspires us to develop our creative talents and abilities with patience and physical energy for a specific purpose.
