- TAURUS by JaniceJ
-
- Taureans are ruled by Venus, planet of love, and are symbolized by the
- BULL. When one bears in mind the ancient astrological edict that each
- sign corrects the excesses of the sign it follows, it becomes easier
- to understand why Taureans can occasionally be "as stubborn as bulls"
-
- Fiery Aries, Taurus's predecessor, wants to do everything aleast once.
- Aries untamed fire thrives on new and exciting beginnings, usually
- without much consideration for the way things were done before.
-
- For earthy Taurus, innovative new ideas which scatter established
- values to the wind are a horror only slightly less to be feared than
- going broke. Faced with these fiery forces, Bulls do get stubborn.
-
- Their goal is to protect those traditional values, so dear to their
- hearts, for all of mankind. Consequently, our prancing ram, full of
- fire and exploding to begin new projects will run smack dab into a two
- ton Taurean bull who is just as determined to coll him off.
-
- Rams rant, rave, bluster and blow. Taurus isn't impressed. Bulls are a
- fixed earth sign, endowed with patience. They can wait.
-
- The end result, though it may take a while, is that Aries departs at a
- slightly slower pace with the idea firmly planted in their head that
- just because something is old and established, it does not of
- necessity need to be cast aside.
-
- Taurus departs in a grumpy mood, satisfied to have done his job, but
- feeling that he is forever having to clean up after fire signs.
-
- Taurus, when not engaged in skirmishes with fire, is usually at home
- and happy to be there. Providing a comfortable and secure home is of
- utmost importance to Bulls. The traditional Taurean preoccupation with
- money and possession is but an off-shoot of this urge. Taureans only
- run into problems when they confuse quantity with quality.
-
- Taurus, though strongly associated with the material side of life, is
- after all ruled by Venus, the planet of love. Taureans, indeed people
- of any sign, who display stingy attitudes with money usually are just
- as stingy with their affection. The gathering of possessions and
- wealth as an end in itself only frustrates Venus, who always wants to
- give.
-
- True happiness for Taurus may lie in learning to share, with love, all
- they are and all they have. Through this important lesson Taureans
- learn that they have mush more to offer than mateial comforts. Their
- strength, warmth, and sturdy reliability are their greatest gifts.
