Taurus: The Practical  Bull (April 21 – May 21)

Bulls are very practical, consistent, stubborn and habitual. They have a possessive nature, can be indulgent, extremely devoted, and enjoy earthy pleasures. They can be laid back only after their control issues are in check and are often dogmatic by nature.

Taurus are resourceful, thorough and dependable in nature. They know how to be responsible and stable when it is important (to them) yet they have a placid and comfortable mode that is sometimes not the best direction for them. Considered solid, earthy, and strong, they are money-oriented, practical, productive, cautious, yet in their younger years they may be even musical and artistic.

Medical Astrology

Medical astrology, traditionally known as Iatromathematics, is an ancient medical system of healing connecting the body and disease with the twelve astrological signs. Each astrological sign, along with the sun, moon, and planets are associated with different parts of the human body that correlate to disorders of its associated muscles, nerve systems and organs.

The system of medical astrology has been used to codify the associations of the signs of the zodiac with the parts of the body as follows: Taurus – throat, neck, thyroid gland, vocal tract

The planets are also associated with certain portions and functions within the body:

Venus – throat, kidneys, thymus gland, sense of touch, ovaries

In medical astrology, Taurus is ruled by the throat, neck and thyroid gland. It is in these areas that problems can result more often. Taurus is more susceptible to hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Sore throats, tonsillitis and hoarseness can be your plight. Metaphysically, when Taurus is not able to speak their mind, problems are more prevalent in this area of the body. Sometimes referred to as “plum pit Qi” in Chinese medicine, there is a feeling of something in the throat when there is no physical blockage, but stress expressing itself as something “caught in the throat”. There is another connection between the throat, the stomach and food. Taurus often have a body image referred to as a pear or apple shape. This is often the result from improper eating. Taurus are worriers. Their worry leads to stress. Stress leads to being comforted by food. Excess eating leads to weight gain. These are all dilemmas that Taurus often encounter. Weight loss is usually a lifelong battle for Taurus.

Making moderate exercise apart of your lifestyle will benefit you better than just showing up to the gym once in a while. Eat foods that boost your metabolism and eating foods in season will serve you greatly. Worriers often use food as a comforter. Chinese medicine has seen the connection between worry and the spleen and stomach. Learning to handle stress and worry as well as, controlling less and letting go, can be key factors for healing.

Your healing color is blue.

Taurus is yin in nature. Yin energy is more feminine, is related to dark, moon, earth, north, west and right. Yin signs are the even numbered ones. Those belonging to yin energy have a tendency to be more passive and introverted.

Amethyst is the stone of transformation from all addiction, promoting inner peace. Used for contentment and meditation. Provides common sense and flexibility in decisions.

The Lucky Taurus

Luck. What exactly is luck? Is luck being at the right place at the right time? Finding that lucky penny? Always landing on your feet? Finding a four leaf clover? Discovering bird droppings on your shoulder? What ever your idea of luck, research has found that people are divided.

Taurus are lucky people. You are resourceful, thorough, dependable and responsible. These traits make you a lucky soul. Your resourceful nature is the key to your good luck and the ability to make it bend to your will. What can get in your way of being lucky is your stubborn, inflexible nature. Your lucky number is six – vibrates to Venus – and is ruler of Taurus and Libra. Venus is the sexual female, receptivity, attraction, art, culture, beauty, money and harmony. Friday, which is the day of Venus, is your day to work on manifesting money, appreciating the arts, honoring your beauty by taking care of yourself. Your lucky number is the number of love and romance. It is the number of balance and harmony. Most crystals possess six facets. A six crystal will help you bring into balance your relationship with yourself and therefore, with others opening your heart to unconditional love and money.   Now get lucky!

Money and Taurus

Money is your reward for hard work. Some important values about money include giving, sharing, accepting compliments and recognizing new beginnings.

Taurus rules financial matters. Shrewd in business, banking and spinning your finances, you are a wiz in budgeting, earning and negotiating. You are good at acquiring properties, stocks, bonds and other possessions that can make you money. On the other hand, you can also be miserly and unwilling to spend money on items you deem unnecessary, especially when it is for you. Your wealth is how you extend your personality into the world. This includes material and immaterial things of a certain value including money belongings, property and acquisitions. It is how you define your personal security.  Now get money!

Taurus and Career

Abundance is a long lasting, enduring enjoyment of life. It is being in love with living. Your career should be something you absolutely love doing. Since we spend the majority of our lives working, why would you ever just do something to get by. Life is much too short to not be doing something that brings you joy and happiness, reward and fulfillment, pride and satisfaction!

Taurus are hard workers. You are the builders of the astrological belt. You can always be counted on to get the job done. You are at your best when you are working at your own pace and not being mirco-managed. You are efficient, thorough and driven! Your need for long-term financial security and a strong safety net, pushes you forward in achieving your goal. You are attracted to careers that have security and benefits. Financial advisor, manager or banker peak your interest. You are organized and pay attention to details, which make you a great teacher, librarian, secretary or assessor. You also have a secret, creative streak that you channel into hobbies such as writing, painting or gardening.   Now find success!

Happiness and Taurus

Happiness is an expression of gratitude. Research has found that a great deal of unhappiness stems from negative thoughts. Happiness is not just a life lived by accumulating moments of pleasure. Happiness is a rhythm, an order, a balance. We choose to be happy.

Taurus can be happy people. You are most happy when you have your material comforts around you. You strive for security in all things… money, home, relationships, work… and you sacrifice everything to make it happen. You guard and protect your happiness very closely and whenever you feel someone is trying to undermine it, you charge, horns first, toward the situation. You are most happy when you are cozy, secure and homesteaded. Your home life is very important and you keep your home just the way you like it in order to bring warmth and safety to yourself and your loved ones. Your passion for nature, gardening and all things beautiful, make your green thumb a gift you utilize all the time. You work toward a lifestyle of simple self-sufficiency. On the other hand, you can be extremely possessive, controlling and self-indulgent. Your stubborn personality makes it difficult to move on, let go or get past issues that may dismantle your ideas of how things should be. Change is not an easy thing for fixed signs. Living by the mantra “no expectations, endless possibilities” would be an important belief that could help bring peace of mind.  Now find happiness!

Sex and Taurus

Our “sexual-esteem” or positive reverence for and confidence in our capability to experience our sexuality in a satisfying and enjoyable way are all a part of our sexual health and a very important part of our well being. Our most sexual organ is the brain! Our minds can create the most perfect fantasies or sexual relationship. It is the power of our minds that can enhance the desired sexual experiences and is what realizes our sexual pleasure.

Taurus is sensible and selective. You pursue your sexual interests with caution and high standards. You are sensual without being flirtatious. You have a natural warmth that people tend to be attracted to. Your selective persona keeps you from having many partners and relationships as you proceed slowly through the gamet of hopeful prospects looking for someone who is secure, financially stable, a good provider, as well as, someone who shares your dreams and aspirations. You are sensually stimulated by all your senses and your ruling planet of Venus envokes your earthy desires for erotic pleasures. You are drawn in by romantic music, soothing candlelight, savory food and tactile connections. This foreplay is essential in order for your suitor to obtain your great strength and deserved loyalty.   Now get sex!

On the Edge: Born on the Cusp

If you were born within a few days of the Sun’s movement from one zodiac sign to the next, this means you were born “on the cusp,” and you’ll feel the influence from both zodiac signs.  This combination creates a “personality type” that makes you unique!

Cusp of Taurus and Gemini
May 17 to May 23

Known as the cusp of Energy, you are a consummated blend of physical strength and mental sharpness, which makes you a stable, yet driven force of nature, blending both earth and air to create a tornado of power and great resource!  You are a smart and communicative tool, which helps you get your point across, brilliantly.

A whirlwind of kinetic charging and chatting, you utilize the bull’s driving ability and desire to do it all with the twin’s adaptability to people and situations, non-stop to great advantage.

This burning of the candle at both ends, is what often gets you, Tauro-inis in hot water!  You can have it all, by learning to stop and listen once in a while.  Your success comes at these crossroads.

Meanwhile, utilize your famous combination of pleasure and loving traits by expanding your sensitivity towards others as you try understanding their feelings. It is this balance of yin energy and yang energy that will always make you admired!
