The Bright Side
Taurus has a patient, steadfast and reliable personality. People generally know where they are with Taurus - unless they make the mistake of goading one too far! The Taurean personality is also warm and sensual.
Security
As Taurus is firmly motivated by a need for security, this sign is often excellent at business matters and can be trusted to plan and carry things through carefully with resolute attention to detail. An earth sign, Taurus also values the environment and will do everything possible to preserve its well-being.
Endurer
The typical Taurean personality is earthy, solid and enduring, continuing with dogged persistence long after everyone else has given up. However, Taureans can be particularly resistant to change, unable to adapt to new and innovative ways of thinking.
The Dark Side
Unfortunately the Taurean personality can be so committed to self-preservation and so cautious in approaching anything new that it may become boring - although many people are prepared to brave the possibility of a tedious evening in view of the excellence of the food served at Taurean dinner parties! Taureans at their best are typically 'string, silent types' but all too often they appear ignorant and willfully obstinate to others.
Explosive
Taureans have two other main difficulties in interacting with people: a very slow-to rouse but terrible temper and possessiveness. Sexual jealousy, another Taurean trait can often lead to explosions of anger.
Wellness
The throat is traditionally a vulnerable point for Taureans, and problems here represent a refusal to change. Typically, Taureans need to learn to look critically at their habits and understand that they alone can alter their health patterns for the better. By nature, Taureans are slow and persistent. They settle into a comfortable groove and need a great deal of persuading before they will change. But while they generally have sturdy constitutions, their earthy attraction to the good life often leads to overindulgence. Indeed there is nothing more appealing to the Taurean palate than rich and sweet foods, and nothing more difficult for them to forfeit. Discipline with eating habits is essential to their well-being. Taurus rules the thyroid gland, which regulates the body's metabolism. Unless high-calorie, fatty diets are avoided, weight problems will plague their later years.
Love
Taureans are extremely faithful, with strong need for security and settled routine. Although they have Raeth as their element, they can be highly romantic and sensitive when it comes to love. Security is of paramount important to Taureans and emotional contentment and stability come high on their list of priorities. Although passionate, they are steadfast which may not appeal to those who crave constant excitement. Nevertheless, there are many who fall for that Taurean charm, those film star good looks and that placid, easy-going nature. Taureans like to take things slowly and they make no exceptions to this rule when it comes to love. In fact, they like to be extra sure of sweethearts before they commit themselves, so they often spend lots of time getting to know them well. Reliability is second nature to Taureans, which means that they are faithful lovers. But they can be overpoweringly possessive. they need to let go and give their partners the freedom they need, or they may end up alone. When in a serious relationship, marriage is often a better solution than living together, since it helps boost their much-needed sense of security. They are often traditionalists who prefer not to fly in the face of convention.
Find yours?
You are longing for some love and affection at this time - not that you have been deprived of tender loving care - but there are times when everyone needs to try something new or to go 'somewhere' else to perhaps experience that little extra 'understanding'.
You don't really give in. You follow your beliefs and ideals to the bitter end. You are the personification of stubbornness and whatever may transpire, right or wrong, you refuse to compromise or make concessions.
You feel tired - worn out and listless. The last thing that you want to do is to be in an open conflict with those around you that are forever tormenting you. What to do? That's the rub. You are feeling that you are being choked - unable to breathe.
You pretend that you are a carefree individual and that nothing really bothers you - that you are so self-sufficient that whatever problems beset you they simply flow off you as water flows off a ducks back. You are experiencing considerable stress, trying to conceal yourself from the rest of the world. In actual fact - deep down, you are not at all happy. You feel lonely and you need someone with whom you can 'Let your hair down' and share your hopes, dreams and high standards. You are imposing unnecessary self restraint on yourself. You would like to demonstrate the unique quality of your character to all and sundry.
Sometimes one fears that its not worth formulating new ideas and projects because whatever you seem to have done in the past has never worked out and you are tired of, as they say, banging your head against a brick wall. No one seems to care. So now you are trying to get away from it all by withdrawing into a 'fantasy land' but unfortunately 'fantasy land' is just that and sooner or later you will have to return to reality so why delay the inevitable? When you do return, you will find that the situation is not as tough as perhaps you thought it was.
Find yours?
Shoulda
I shoulda knew life was harder
sometimes wish I
coulda been smarter.
I shoulda seen you
wanted to leave
but that was always
the hardest thing
for me to believe.
I have spent the last days
thinking about all the things
I need to say
but once I see you it all fades.... away... so far away...
Needed Lies
You come home mad and upset
the world pushed you to the limit again
you say 'we will never get ahead i bet'
you look at me with those sad blue eyes
I know what you need to hear
so I take you in my arms and tell you all those needed lies...
Baby hang in there it'll be okay
tomorrow is always another day.
Honey please don't worry
no need to be in such a hurry.
I know we have bills to pay and mouths to feed
but I think time off is what you really need.
You smile, kiss me, and head to bed
I pretend not to cry because I know
you don't sleep you think over what I said.
I pretend not to know how much it bothers you
so you can feel like a real man
but I know you worry just as much as I do.
Tomorrow comes and goes again just as bad
when you come home you see me cryin'
so today you know I need you not to be soo mad.
You kiss me as you look at my sad green eyes
you settle the kids who have pushed me this time
and you take me in your arms and tell me all those needed lies...
Baby hang in there it'll be okay
tomorrow is always another day.
Honey please don't worry
no need to be in such a hurry.
I know we have bills to pay and mouths to feed
but I think time off is what you really need.
So we look at eachtother with wore and tired eyes
and we tell eachother those needed lies...
oh so needed lies... those needed lies...
My Sister
We laughed a lot together
Even cried because of each other.
We told on one another sometimes
Caused trouble together most of the time.
At first I was sure we’d always fight
Hey I love you but I was right.
I knew you’d get into my stuff
Never knew it would be so ruff.
But I can never stay mad at you do.
I love you and I know you love me too.
As time went on more and more
I came to learn... that’s what sisters are for.
