About Me
Taurus- (by Sylvia Browne)
Have you read any other astrology books? Well, if so, then you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is always one sign that the astrologer does not like. That's because when you read various signs, botth the positive and negative aspects are discussed. But then you realize that there seems to be nothing but negative traits associated with it. Well, i'm going to have to be very tolerant with the sign of taurus, and i've got to be kind about this...God, I have to be kind!!
Taurus people are boring. I'm trying to be kind, but every Taurus that I have ever known (and I mean a fully aspected Taurus) has a tendency toward stupidity. Yet I do not think that they are actually dumb, but they act that way. They will often reply to questions with, "huh?" and a puzzled look. I think this is to make someone come on more. You will want to walk up and say, "do you here me? Are you listening? watch my lips!"
Everyone who has a Taurus friend, has a karmic debt! Even when you say, "get away," they hang on to your leg. They can beat you with a stick, and they say "I love you anyway." An Aries ought to work with a Taurus, for God's sake, because they've got enough patience. The Aries would repeat things 55 times, and the Taurus would say, "I finally get it," which would make an Aries say, "Oh, how wonderful."
Taureans usually have very high-falutin' speech. They usually talk like this: "The cosmic influences of the seminal fluid, in the great beyond of the ad infinitim, are coming together in the heated vortex within." you then say "Pardon me, but i do not understand a thing you're saying." In this instance they just asked you to have sex, without you even knowing it.
Taureans are also bery poetic in their speech, which seems contrary to their sign. But they always sound like they're going to break into Shakespeare, which seems like a paradox because they're so thick. They can think of 16 different ways to say something beautifully. And this is the sign that gets drunk on words. Their verbalization pattern is something to behold.
Taurus is the sign of the bull, and bulls are definitely stubborn. This is basically how you can spot a Taurus: Hell hath no fury like Taureans on a rampage; they will walk over anybody. But it is usually out of righteous anger, because they are ruled by Venus, the love planet. So this is not a malicious sign. Yet, don't get Taureans mad at you, because they're vindictive and will absolutly stalk you-like an elephant.
Taureans do not forget past injustices, and they also remember their past pain as well-and will remind you of it. The tragedy with a Taurus is that their pain is just as fresh today as it was the first time. Their pain will often make you feel guilty, and if you tell them about your guilt, they will tell you to think nothing of it. So they're not malicious; but they do become very martyred.
It has been said that the water signs are martyred, But Taureans outdo them all. Taureans can be the biggest martyrs in the world. They will tell you what they've done for you, when they did it, why they did it, and how they did it. They tend to live in the past a lot. If you're married to a Taurus, this individual will tell you about their past romances, and they will go into detail about the whole situation. They want to tell you and confess all, which is called, "spilling your guts." Not only that, they will tell you how much better you are than their previous lovers-but that still doesn't stop them from telling you too many details.
Taurus is an Earth sign. Some astrologers say that earth signs are base. Taureans are not base or crude, though. Taureans, of all the earth signs, are really bery high-flown and poetic. Many times they will go on for years in a very beautiful, platonic relationship. So their primary motive is not just to bed you down. Not at all. They can simply love people for the love that they have for them. I would not call them a tremendous sensual sign at all. They put out sensuality-but they are not necessarily that sensual. It is much like talking a good story, but the action is lacking.
If you end a relationship with a taurus, this person will stalk you for years and years after. Taureans are obsessive about wanting to know what caused the breakup. They are much like Ariens in that way. And what is really amazing abou taureans-and i have never seen this to fail-is that they are not really affectionate as far as touching, but they do have a tendency to tweak you. They will tweak and punch and pinch-they will walk up to both cheeks and pinch them.
Taureans are very aesthetic in all forms-writing, acting, music, and so on. You will find a lot of actors and actresses under the sign of Taurus. And they do have a natural flair for design, colors, and that type of thing. All earth signs have this. They are also marvelous sales people and can sell you anything. You may even have buyer's remorse at the time you purchase something, and yet you find yourself signing on the dotted line. They really are the manipulators of the Zodiac, but they do it in such an ingenious way that you don't mind, at least not with true Taurus. Taureans can be so glib, smoothing over everything, that you're doing what they want before you realize it. You may say, "I don't want to do this, but here i am doing it!"
Taureans are the type of individuals who will take your advice, saying, "Thank you very much, " then go and do things exactly the way they were doing it before-but they will thank you for the advice. If you had told them about a new shortcut that would save them time, they would say thank you and use the old, long way instead. A Taurus can be led, but never pushed.
Taureans are really "in service" individuals-that is, they will always let you know that they have performed some service for you. The only tragedy here is that they will constantly remind you of it. Even in their sexual life, they say, "ARe you pleased that I...Are you thankful for it?" So they need to be in your service-sexually or otherwise-and you should be greatful.
Taureans have a habit of asking how you like everything-a movie, dinner tea, or whatever. "Did you like that?" they will ask repeatedly. They also have a habit of watching you to see if you're enjoying something, such as a play or a movie. If you're listening to a record, they watch to see if you're enjoying it-which, of course, makes you an animated goof after a while.
Ecology and all growing things are of great concern to Taureans. This is because they are bery concerned about the earth, it's growth, and what will be left here for future generations. They are horticulturists, and they always have something growing someplace.
Neatness is very important to Taureans, too. Infact, they can drive you crazy with their fickiness. If by chance they are not neat, then even within the chaos, there is organization. No matter what the mess, they know where everything is. You ask, "where is that paper?" and they say, "In the other room on the desk." And you're afraid to enter that room beause you know a rat will jump out and get you. So you walk into the room and yell back, "you've got to be kidding. I can't find anything in here!" The Taurus will then come in and say, "There it is. 2 sheets down, over to the right, under the dirty hanky, and I found it!" so this individual knows exactly where it is. Therefore, there must be some kind of filing system going on there. They know where all the trivia is in their mind, as well as the trivia inside the house.
The Taurus is not as nitpicky as the Capricorn, though. When Capricorns do something, they eill tell you the exact day of the week, what clothes they wore, how they did it, the weather, and if it was 2:12 or 2:13pm when it happened. And you say, "oh. yuck!" Taureans are mental note takers, and they also make lists for themselves every day, usually posting them. Not only that, but if you allowthem to, they will make lists for you, too. They have to make sure that everything will be all right.
Taureans will fall madly in love, and they are a very flirtatios sign. They are not like virgos, or some of the other signs, who can be in love with 3 people, equally and all at once. But Taureans can love many-they are very magnanimous, and they can love people collectively. "I love all of you," they say, and they are not kidding about it. They really love everyone.
Taureans are not really lovers of home and family, although they will keep a home and have a family. I would not call them the primary motherhood or fatherhood signs. They're just not. They will procreate and leave it at that-it is there, it is all right, and they will give allegiance. But there is no ego structure involoved with the act of creation. They do not say, "this is what i made, this child before you." To a Taurus you will say, "oh, your little boy is so cute," and they will reply, "He's all right, fine, he will do." Most of the other signs feel that this is a reflection on themselves. But Taureans say, "well, i did it, everyone does, big deal." They still show great allegiance to their children, but they are simply not overwhelmed with the fact of having them. It is a natural thing to do.
Taureans do not care much for genetics, heritage, family roots, and the like. They view people as sigularly unique, rather than a collection of traits from thier ancestors. They temd to say, "I exist, which is enough for me, and so do you, and that is all there is."
A Taurus can get tatally furious instantaneously, for no apparent reason. You will back up, saying, "What started that, anyway?" What you do not want to see is a Taurus go at it with a fire sign. It is unbelievably violent. The fire sign is determined to keep the earth sign from putting a damper on them. When a Taurus is arguing with you, it feels as though your whole identity is in jeopardy. They can really slash you, out of pain or vulnerability, but the cutting can go very deep.
Taureans are the champions at beign possesive, beyond anything you can imagine. Yet they do not strangle you with it. It is more a concern about your health, welfare, and safety. Where were you? You didn't call me, and i was worried. You said you would be home at 8:00, and it's now 8:02. What happened? So don't leave a taurus hanging, walking the floor; they worry too much.
I do not know where all the Taureans are. I ask people, "Do you know any Taureans?" they always say no. Nobody seems to know any of them. I think they crawled under a rock, and that is the end of them.
Taureans are usually very sentimental. They never forget birthdays, anniversaries, and so forth. First thing in the morning, they'll say, "Do you know what day it is?" Strike up the band-it's someone's birthday!
Taureans tend to be very affluent. They make money, and they mark their success by how much money they can generate. Every Taurus male that I know of has become a lawyer and bought property. Even females will buy property. They are homesteaders. They don't care if it's a shack; they put their sign on it: "I own this." Taureans have total tunnel vision. if they become fized on one thing, hell hath no fury like a Taurus, because they go forging right ahead in the face of all obstacles. And they do not see danger on either side; they simply have a goal and go right for it.
