- Taurus is the sign of purposeful determination and power.
- And, as it is also an earth sign, Taureans were born to achieve
- mastery over physical matter. The element earth teaches and
- guides them to become efficient in practical matters. They
- strive for spiritual truth by working with the practical
- aspects of life.
- Taureans are fond of the good things of life and often
- focus their attention on material acquisitions. The key phrase
- for Taurus is "I have." Love of comfort, satisfaction, and
- pleasure is also a characteristic of people born under this
- sign. Whatever fulfills these needs has great value to
- Taureans, and they make an effort to possess it. Once they do,
- no earthly force can persuade them to attach their interests
- elsewhere. Taureans see to it that nothing interferes with
- what they want. They want money, not for its own sake, but so
- they can enjoy the things it enables them to purchase.
- Since Venus rules Taureans, they have a high appreciation
- of form and beautiful things, especially those which appeal
- to the sense of touch. They are fond of good clothing and
- are genuinely impressed by others' appeareances. They tend to
- use beauty too as a means to their ends.
- The hub of the Taureans' universe is security, both emo-
- tional and material. Taureans withhold themselves from in-
- volvement until they have determined whether a person, sit-
- uation, or relationship will be of use to them. However, out
- of their strong sense of loyalty they often burden themselves
- with the griefs and problems of their friends. They are
- intensely jealous, to the point of being absurd. They regard
- another person's affections as their property. This posses-
- siveness is a result of their deep inner need, both emotional
- and mental, for security.
- Since they have powerful and sensitive emotional natures,
- coupled with intellectual capacity, they are often miserable
- if they marry beneath their station.
- They are not aware of inner motives, as a rule. Self-
- analysis is not important to them. They are endowed with a
- strong willpower, which enables them to make plans from a
- distance, perhaps even years in advance. Thus, they strive
- assiduously toward their goals, firm in their acquisitive
- instincts. Success usually follows their efforts.
- Taureans have their own methods of doing things, and if
- one wants a smooth relationship with them, it is wise not to
- interfere with them or attempt to make them over.
