Taurus - Material Girl 

Taurus is the sign of opulence, affluence, resources, and capital gain from creative enterprise. This is why the sign of Taurus and the 2nd house manages models, painters, creative writers, acrobats, musicians, architects, landscapers, and fashion design. Taurus is not the sole sign of the creator, there are many signs that express creativity. And they are all inspired by many different sources. For example there is Leo through ego demonstration, Cancer through emotional stimulus, Aquarius through the faculties of intellect and intuition, and Pisces through spiritual vision. Taurus is creative expression conducted through heightened senses, physical awareness, and beautification of the material plane. The opulence and wealth we initially associate with Taurus is also descriptive of the inner state and internal resources. 

Taurus is the fixed quality of the earth signs. And nothing really sounds artistic about a realistic and skeptical earth sign with fixed stuck-in-the mud stubbornness. However, it’s through this door that a secret garden is revealed for Taurus. The body, mind, and spirit melts into the natural plane like milk and honey. The physical body is where nature reunites with soul, and the material world becomes their canvas. Taurus has always been fascinated by material. And we are not just talking about cars, designer clothes or diamonds. The material is delightful awareness of the physical body and reading it’s curves and arches like braille. The material is delicate petals, the cool kiss of the sea, fabric, the smell of the rain, silk, velvet, the taste of strawberries exploding natural candies in their mouths. It makes the individual highly responsive to sound, silence, and seasonal symphonies. Nature is the muse for the artist in Taurus. These people take notice of how the moon hangs in the sky, the songs that the birds sing, the temperature making subtle changes, and aromatic spices in the air. They are gifted with exclusive performances by nature. Flowers bloom just for them. They can make just about anything grow with their enchanted green thumb. Taurus has always been associated with farming, horticulture, and landscaping. Music is especially moving to Taurus, like they can sense the vibrations in air playing notes across their skin. It can change their mood and relax any tension. They have a good ear for sound, they are vitalised by using the vocal cords and releasing its energy into an outside medium. It’s possible that the individual sings, performs music, and uses the creative Taurus mind to song write. There’s not many Taureans that don’t secretly love singing, even the tone-deaf, conservative, and bull headed ones. Some Taureans sing on a stage, and others sing in the shower. Mostly they will hum tunes or whistle as they work. 

Taurus can be especially good at making other people’s body’s feel sumptuous, nourished, and gratified through touch. Touch is the way that Taurus feels, learns, and understands their world. They can make brilliant masseuses, physical therapists, stylists, make up artists, hairdressers, occupational therapists, and mind-body therapists. And they do it with loving and magnetic touch, almost like creamy silk is gliding from their fingertips. The body is a physical temple, and Taurus has inherited the reproductive creativity of Mother Earth. Talents are nurtured in the same way that seeds are patiently tendered to until the bouquet shoots and blooms. Mother Earth has bonded to Taurus because of their intimacy with her every mineral and mosaic, and Taurus exalts in mother moon so feminine creativity finds a home in Taurus. Venus is the ruler of Taurus and she governs relationship, beauty, and luxury. Libra is the sister child of Venus and Libra directs human relationships. Taurus is nocturnal Venus and she facilitates relationship between body, spirit, and sun, moon, and natural earth. All of the physical, emotional, and spiritual experiences that Taurus has ever lived through remain in the body and when they move, dance, display intimacy, paint, or write, these memories become colour and creativity. It isn’t just Aphrodite that produces Taurus artistry. There are multiple elements in Taurus that inspire the creator. Valcun was the God of Taurus and he was anointed as he designed the harps and instruments for the Gods and angels. Taurus continues to participate in these offerings. Every time they create, design, or enrich the material plane they are having a ceremony with heaven.

Escapists 

Aries: escapes to a place where nobody can see, question, or regulate them and they are answerable to only themselves. they can disappear for short periods

Taurus: slows the mental and physical operation into a state of timelessness where nothing and no one else exists 

Gemini: leaps into another point of view/position of consciousness to escape and experience a different perspective 

Cancer: goes into solitary confinement with the company of imagination, ideals, and memories, can try and change the way they feel about a memory to escape their true emotions about it 

Leo: escapes themselves and raw exposure by playing another role or character, pretending to be somebody else 

Virgo: escapes into the structure of dense ritual and constant, over-extensive activity to avoid being alone with themselves and their thoughts 

Libra: ascends into the idealised mind and applies their rose-coloured glasses of elusion to create a reflection of the world in their dreams and escape reality as it is

Scorpio: disinterested in escapism, scorpio is rather preferable to confrontation, truth, and facing your demons

Sagittarius: leaves the country, or moves houses to escape everything, intense physical activity

Capricorn: too busy to consider escapism, but can do this through intense solo focus and discipline, working and improving quality of work can be an escape from the private, personal, and introspective life  

Aquarius: frustrated and bewildered by people the aquarius escapes into the celestial sphere inside the mind where they can construct utopia

Pisces: escapes reality without trying, such as through lapses in concentration. mostly willing to consume any vice or vessel that provides a hiding place like reading, sleeping, sacrifice, substances, daydreaming, sex, or creativity

if we long or believe for it to be real, neptune can make it real neptune is not a complete delusion, we can sense it and embody it and be taken away by it. it’s rather an illusion without sharp edges and clarity because we can’t see the whole picture. and we try to fill in the blanks and complete the image with our objective mind, so we can create something that wasn’t there to begin with

The great and small cycles of the planets describe ‘a time to be born and a time to die’, a wonderfully vivid example being provided by the most recently completed by the most recent Uranus/Neptune 170 year cycle. Its beginning in 1818 saw the birth of Karl Marx; its dying in the late 1980s/early 1990s saw the demise of the whole communist system which Karl Marx writing had inspired

And I hope that you’ll have all the patience you need to understand why people are like the way they are. I hope that instead of judging them based on their outside appearance, like thinking of the memories behind a photograph, you’ll choose to see what’s more than that meets the eyes.

And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.

Music and The Zodiac

I feel like in classical music, sharps are sort of like day, and flats are like night. So where Libra is, where day meets night in balance, the sunset. The sun falls in Libra so naturally, it should be the beginning of the flats

[wordsnquotes]

You ruin your life by desensitizing yourself. We are all afraid to say too much, to feel too deeply, to let people know what they mean to us. Caring is not synonymous with crazy. Expressing to someone how special they are to you will make you vulnerable. There is no denying that. However, that is nothing to be ashamed of. There is something breathtakingly beautiful in the moments of smaller magic that occur when you strip down and are honest with those who are important to you. Let that girl know that she inspires you. Tell your mother you love her in front of your friends. Express, express, express. Open yourself up, do not harden yourself to the world, and be bold in who, and how you love. There is courage in that.

Bianca Sparacino (via wordsnquotes)

[wordsnquotes]

I have survived. I am here. Confused, screwed up, but here.

Laurie Halse Anderson, Speak (via wordsnquotes)

[wordsnquotes]

When something bothered me, I didn’t talk with anyone about it. I thought it over all by myself, came to a conclusion, and took action alone. Not that I really felt lonely. I thought that’s just the way things are. Human beings, in the final analysis, have to survive on their own.
