TAURUS THE BULL
pure Taureans tends to be earthy - 'slow but sure'. their 'bullishness' can under extreme pressure be expressed in violent outburst of rage, but more usually they are like oxen, plodding forward steadily, strongly and surely.
he or she is no ascetic, dining on dry bread and water, but reveals in all appetites, loving the pleasures of the table, physical contacts with the opposite sex, comforts and luxuries of every kinds. material possessions are of great importance to the Taurean.
all this may sound unattractive, and so it would be if that was all there was to the Taureans. but with the strong physical appetites goes a generous nature, an astonishing capacity for hard and painstaking effort, and, rather unexpectedly, a tendency to generate brilliantly imaginative ideas. it is probably this last characteristics, allied with a stubbornness that refuses to admit defeat, which has resulted in some strongly Taurean personalities.
sexuality and the emotions Taureans value their possessions, and as far as they are concerned their partners are the most valued possessions of all. consequently, an emotional characteristics of many Taurean is a tendency to jealousy; a rival is not just a rival, but a thief who is trying to steal the Taureans rightful property. Taurean jealousy if often nursed for a long time before it is outwardly expressed. anger smoulders away for weeks or months, even years, until it flames up into rage which transforms the placid Taurean ox into a mad bull or - just as frightening - a mad heifer.
the positive side of Taurean sexual possessiveness finds expressions in a caring attitude towards partners. the husband or wife of the Taurean is cared for with devoted conctancy. in spite of this, Taureans are capable of outburst of intense physical passion which can be almost as alarming as their rages. general character Taurean children, hard working at school and usually 'biddable' at home, are capable of rare outbursts of rage - usually jealous rage - which are even more alarming than the temper tantrums of the Arian child because they're so totally unexpected and, so it seems, 'out of character'
in adulthood the Taureans goals are security, comfort and lack of anxiety. the Taurean hates to be worried; he or she will cope with almost anything except anxiety about the unexpected and the inexplicable. when anxiety is inflicted on Taureans by the surrounding environment or those who live in it, their tendency is to ' move away ' - in both the literal and the metaphorical senses.
life styles the Taurean does best in career environment in which he or she can feel secure. a plodding job in which one can slowly advance towards (if not quite to) the very top, with a guaranteed, inflation-proof pension, is the deal. the worst job for a Taurean is one which he/she is unsure what money, if any, will be coming in at the end of the month. with all this practicality there is a streak of imaginative artistry in many Taureans and they are often interested in music, painting and sculpture. sometimes this venusian element in the Taurean personality is dominant and surprisingly large number of sculptors, singers and other artists are Taureans or have Taurean ascendants. but the Taurean artist is usually a prosperous artist, not the sort of talented individual who would be happy to starve in a garret so long as he/she is practising their art.
