About Your Sign...
The Taurean's characteristics are solidity, practicality, extreme determination
and strength of will - no one will ever drive them, but they will willingly and loyally
follow a leader they trust. They are stable, balanced, conservative good, law-abiding
citizens and lovers of peace, possessing all the best qualities of the bourgeoisie. As
they have a sense of material values and physical possessions, respect for property and a
horror of falling into debt, they will do everything in their power to maintain the
security of the status quo and be somewhat hostile to change.
Mentally, they are keen-witted and practical more often than intellectual, but apt to
become fixed in their opinions through their preference for following accepted and
reliable patterns of experience. Their character is generally dependable, steadfast,
prudent, just, firm and unshaken in the face of difficulties. Their vices arise from their
virtues, going to extremes on occasion,such as sometimes being too slavish to the
conventions they admire.
On rare occasions a Taurean may be obstinately and exasperatingly self-righteous,
unoriginal, rigid, ultraconservative, argumentative, querulous bores, stuck in a
self-centered rut. They may develop a brooding resentment through nursing a series of
injuries received and, whether their characters are positive or negative, they need
someone to stroke their egos with a frequent, "Well Done!" Most Taureans are not
this extreme though.
They are faithful and generous friends with a great capacity for affection, but rarely
make friends with anyone outside their social rank, to which they are ordinarily
excessively faithful. In the main, they are gentle, even tempered, good natured, modest
and slow to anger, disliking quarreling and avoiding ill-feeling. If they are provoked,
however, they can explode into violent outbursts of ferocious anger in which they seem to
lose all self-control. Equally unexpected are their occasional sallies into humor and
exhibitions of fun.
Although their physical appearance may belie it, they have a strong aesthetic taste,
enjoying art, for which they may have a talent, beauty (recoiling from anything sordid or
ugly) and music. They may have a strong, sometimes unconventional, religious faith. Allied
to their taste for all things beautiful is a love for the good things of life pleasure,
comfort, luxury and good food and wine and they may have to resist the temptation to over
indulgence, leading to drunkenness, gross sensuality, and covetousness.
In their work, Taureans are industrious and good craftspeople, and are not afraid of
getting their hands dirty. They are reliable, practical, methodical and ambitious, within
a framework of obedience to superiors. They are at their best in routine positions of
trust and responsibility, where there is little need of urgency and even less risk of
change, and a pension at the end. Yet they are creative and good founders of enterprises
where the rewards of their productiveness come from their own work and not that of others.
They can flourish in many different trades and professions: banking, architecture,
building, almost any form of bureaucracy, auctioneering, farming, medicine, chemistry,
industry. Taureans make good managers and foremen surveying, insurance, education and,
perhaps surprisingly, music and sculpture. They make an ideal trustee or guardian, and can
attain eminence as a chef. Some
Taureans are gifted enough in singing to become opera stars or to excel in more popular
types of music.
They are more than averagely amorous and sensually self-conscious, but sexually
straightforward and not given to experiment. They make constant, faithful, home loving
spouses and thoughtful, kindly parents, demanding too much of neither their spouses nor
children. They can be over possessive and may sometimes play the game of engineering
family roles for the pleasure of making up the quarrel. If anyone offends their amour
proper they can be a determined enemy, though magnanimous in forgiveness if their opponent
makes an effort to meet them halfway.
No other sign in the zodiac is closer to earth then Taurus. The main objective in leading
a Taurean life is primarily (though not entirely) to maintain stability and physical
concerns. Their inner spiritual sense longs for earthly harmony and wholesomeness. When
they fully understand this, and work toward this end, they will no longer need to blindly
reassure themselves with external possessions and comforts. A realization that finding
this inner peace will cause all of the above mentioned positive things will overtake them
and their life will be very full.
Ultimately the Taurean needs to discover their truest, deepest and highest values. When
they know what is truly valuable, they are no longer chained to people and to things that
have to do with lesser values. The greatest indication of value to a Taurean is beauty,
which cannot be owned, only appreciated.
Possible Health Concerns...
Taurus governs the throat and neck and its subjects need to beware throat infections,
goiter and respiratory ailments such as
asthma. They are said to be at risk of diseases of the genitals, womb, liver and kidneys,
and of abscesses and rheumatism.
Because their body type has an inclination to physical laziness, Taureans can be
overweight.

Problem that may arise for you, and their solutions........
PROBLEM: Having feelings of
being used and manipulated, led down the garden path and made a sucker of.
SOLUTION: They should realize that their magnetism attracts negative as well as positive
influences. They need to choose their friends, not let their friends choose them.
PROBLEM: Physical things start loosing their appeal, and they feel more and more out of
touch with the world around them. They
stop caring so much about how much money they have among other physical concerns.
SOLUTION: They are starting to discover an inner harmony that is trying to replace the
physical with spiritual. They must let this
grow without killing the part of them that provides sustenance for their family.
PROBLEM: Unexplained fear of loss, jealousy and a paranoia that others are out to get
them.
SOLUTION: They have within themselves the ability to not only attract faithfulness, but
also the intellect to see what is truly going on around them. They are loosing faith in
both of these personal traits and need to rebuild that faith.
PROBLEM: Feeling depressed with life. Disgusted and dissatisfied. People around them are
little comfort. They feel that life lacks
meaning. Easily addicted to physical pleasures.
SOLUTION: Revisit and realize the value of spiritual things in life. They should take
control of their life by realizing it is not the things in life that are important, but
the spirit behind it all.

Emeralds from Egypt are known to date from about 330 B.C., and indirect evidence suggests
that Egyptians were mining emerald
as early as 1300 B.C. The name emerald comes from the greek smaragdos meaning "green
stone" and probably referred, in
fact,not just to emeralds but to all or many green gems. Emerald boasts a great deal of
folklore. It was used as a burnt offering, a
symbol of St. John, and supposedly was a poison antidote, a cure for fevers and epilepsy,
eye relief (due to the exceptional color), a cure for dysentery and leprosy, a cure for
ophthalmia and bleeding, a cure for stomach problems (when laid on the stomach), and a
good laxative.
