Manages to possess, and "have" just about everything possible. Very gentle, steadfast, stubborn and at times, slow. They plod through life making other's dreams come true by taking other's projects and making them shine. Down to earth with a no-nonsense approach, saying what they mean with a very strong sense of values. You will find nothing cheap or shoddy about them or what they own. Waiting until they can afford only the best, including fine food and wine. Often artistic and sometimes very musical since they are ruled by the throat.
You, dear Taurus, a child of the earth, are like a precious stone that becomes a jewel. Precious stones come from the earth and, when cut and polished, they become jewels. Taurus is the first earth sign of the zodiac, and few have a greater appreciation for all of the beautiful and wonderful things this earth has to offer than a Taurus. Whether it is a colorful sunset, a gorgeous piece of music, or a delicate flower growing by the side of the road, you notice and appreciate many aspects of the physical environment that others pass by or take for granted. You have an unusually high level of attunement to the earth itself. Fittingly, the founding of Earth Day, April 22, 1970, took place and is celebrated each year when the Sun is in Taurus.
Some Taureans are naturally drawn to environmental causes or activities that emphasizes nature or the earth. Taurus John Muir was a conservationist who promoted the establishment of national parks. Ornithologist and artist John James Audubon became famous for his paintings of birds.
A Taurus’ appreciation of beauty naturally finds expression in the arts. Painters (Salvador Dali, Willem de Kooning), singers (Barbra Streisand, Janet Jackson, and Stevie Wonder), musicians and composers (Charles Mingus, Peter Townsend, and Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky), actors (Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino), dancers and choreographers (Judith Jamison and Martha Graham), and fashion photographer Richard Avedon are all born under artistic Taurus.
Your earthy nature makes you practical and gives you a strong urge to attain material security. Some Taureans are also interested in making earthly living more comfortable and materially secure for others. Taurus Coretta Scott King creates a better world for countless people through her work advocating equality for all human beings. Florence Nightingale improved life for others by founding the nursing profession. Jean Henri Dunant was the Swiss founder of the International Red Cross, an organization that provides practical necessities such as food, medicine, and shelter to victims of catastrophes. Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti and American philosopher Wayne Dyer address earthly living in still another way. They teach people to create a fulfilling, comfortable and secure life by combining spiritual and material values.
As an earth sign, you understand that ideas, thoughts, and beliefs need to be practically applied to create a more secure and beautiful world. You are not just thinker; you are a “doer. |
