Sun in Taurus
Reliability is your trademark. You crave above all security, both emotionally and financially. Your common sense gives you the edge among others of your peers as you seek careers such as banking, insurance and anything that involves persistence, stability, and relentless drive. You can take abstract ideas and make them concrete and practical. You are good at behind-the-scenes work; there is no more tirelessly, devoted worker than you in the zodiac. You have natural charm, are a good listener, and frequently provide a good shoulder to cry on for your friends. Ruled by Venus, you also enjoy the luxurious side of life–sensual pleasures such as a hot bath, champagne and leather furniture, a designer sports car, and expensive clothes. All of these appeal to your need for comfort, and your inherent possessive nature. Tradition is also important to you. You typically have a family, enjoy children, and cultivate your possessions over time. You are slow, steady and plodding–the most stubborn of the zodiac signs. Your reflexes are slow and cannot be pushed. You can suffer much, and for a long time, but when you’ve made your mind up–when someone’s pushed you beyond your limit–watch out. Your kind and gentle nature takes a long time to change. Unfortunately, at your worst you can be jealous, greedy and possessive. Your Venusian influence makes you enjoy nice things, such as good art and music. You may also have a flair for working with your hands, such as gardening, woodworking, playing a musical instrument, or technical tinkering. Venus also makes you a natural lover. In romance, a lot goes on under the surface. You are subtle and quiet about what you feel. You think a lot before making that commitment, and once you do you rarely fall. If you do fall, you fall hard. Taureans enjoy making money and spending it, typically on sensual things that meet their very refined sense of taste. Because Taurus rules the neck, throat, cervical vertebrae, and cerebellum, their necks are often thick and sturdy. They are aware and take in much through their five senses. Though they enjoy the sensual pleasures, they are not hedonistic. Taureans also enjoy the mystical and magical. They seek spiritual answers in nature–while camping, hiking, or some other outdoor activity. Taurus individuals are also quite adorably awkward- there’s something about them that’s interesting and jolly. These people like to please and be pleased!
