Ten Things We Love About Taurus

1.  Yours is one of the most magnetic signs of the zodiac.  You draw others in with your charm - it's that receptive, alluring Yin thing.  No wonder - your ruling planet is Venus, the Goddess of Love.

2.  You can take almost any good idea and make it happen, while the rest of us are sitting around dreaming up new pie-in-the-sky schemes.

3.  You are slow to anger.  Real sloooow.  You only blow your top about once every twenty years or so.  When you do, we're hopping a quick flight to Fiji.

4.  You are THE most earthy and grounded of the signs, truly living in the moment - a mark of enlightenment.

5.   Beneath that calm exterior, you Bulls are one of the most passionate of all the signs.  You share this trait along with the two other horned animals of the zodiac: Aries (the Ram) and Capricorn (the Goat).

6.  You plan well for the future.  Your loved ones are secure and well cared-for.

7.  You are straightforward, getting to the heart of matters, and can always be counted on to "get real".

8.  You are loyal, dependable, trustworthy, steadfast, and true.

9.  You have exquisite taste, but are never ostentatious or flashy.

10.  You pursue your goals with endurance and stamina.  Never a quitter, you WILL achieve your dreams . . . as long as you get off that comfortable couch and go after them.

 

How To Find Stability In Your Chart

Taurus is known for their steady dependability, peaceful nature, and determination to pursue and achieve practical goals.  The place where Taurus falls in your chart indicates the area of your life where you will be grounded, unflappable, and unshakable.

How To Find Taurus In Your Chart:  In your own birth chart, look for the Taurus symbol in the outer ring, where the numbers on a clock would go.  It's a circle with a crescent resting on top (see left), representing the head and horns of the bull.  It also looks a bit like a womb, with the two fallopian tubes branching out.  (There's that fertility thing again.  It's getting hot in here...)

Now, notice how your birth chart is divided into 12 pie pieces, or "houses".  The twelve o'clock position on the wheel corresponds to the tenth house. (Confusingly, the houses actually begin at 9:00, and progress counter clockwise, but don't worry about that.)

Taurus at 1:00 (Ninth House):  Your philosophy of life is "live and let live".  You love travel to beautiful places.  You love higher learning, acquiring advanced degrees and taking courses for their own sake, rather than with a specific goal in mind.

Taurus at 2:00 (Eighth House):  The ideal lover for you is a Taurus type - charming, calm, sensual.  In a long-term relationship, you look for love as well as security.

Taurus at 3:00 (Seventh House): You are quite discriminating in choosing a mate, and extremely loyal once you settle down.  Watch that jealousy thing, please.

Taurus at 4:00 (Sixth House): You are practical and conservative in your choice of work.  Choose wisely - you must find something that feeds your heart.

Taurus at 5:00 (Fifth House): You are loving but firm with your children.  They, like you, will probably be artistically inclined.  You're a romantic, and physical affection is important to you.

Taurus at 6:00 (Fourth House): Your home is a quiet, calm, beautiful place, where you draw in deep serenity. You're not a wanderer and don't move often.

Taurus at 7:00 (Third House): You are a careful and deliberate thinker.  You're not a chatterbox - when you speak, your words are carefully thought out.

Taurus at 8:00 (Second House): You've got Taurus in it's natural home.  You love beautiful surroundings, and are steady and measured with money and possessions.

Taurus at 9:00 (First House):  You're a "Taurus Rising".  Your outward, social style is steady, dependable, and alluring.  You've got a healthy dose of practicality, determination, and unshakable calm - use it! 

Taurus at 10:00 (Twelfth House):  If true enlightenment is being fully present, then you're close to attaining it. But you may have a stubborn streak regarding your blind spots.

Taurus at 11:00 (Eleventh House): Your friends are Taurus types: artistic, relaxed, calm - and the ones who bring the chocolate mousse to pot luck dinners.

Taurus at 12:00 (Tenth House): Taurus is on your "midheaven", the most public point in your chart.  You bring determination and steadiness to your career, and may find job fulfillment in financial management, land stewardship, art, or music.

Quickie astrology like this is fun, but of course, no astrological placement can be read in isolation.  A gifted astrologer looks at your chart in its entirety to provide a true analysis.
