Happy Birthday, Taurus! April 20 to May 20

Happy Birthday, Taurus!

This one is near and dear to my heart, quite literally: my partner is a May 17 Taurus. :)

(I might add, probably one of the most Taurus-Tauruses I have ever known, to boot.) Anyway- when you think of a bull, what do you think of? Strength, perseverance, stamina- you may envision a lumbering beast, grazing among the flowers. Until you get into the ring with a red flag, right? Suddenly, what seemed like such a mellow, slow animal becomes a terrifying beast!

Taureans can be a lot like that.

Eva Peron, Jessica Lange, another one of my #mancrushmonday fellas- John Oliver, Adele, Kimora Lee Simmons, Andre The Giant, Bea Arthur, Carol Burnett, David Beckham and Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols- all Tauruses. As you can see, that’s a pretty diverse group, right?

You probably aren’t going to see John Oliver as being like Sid Vicious. That would be pretty amusing, but incredibly weird. That’s how Tauruses roll, though. As with other signs, how they express certain things is as diverse as they are.

Seriously- John Oliver:

And well, this is Sid Vicious.

Bit different.

Here’s the thing about Taurus natives, though- they are Capricorn cat-nip. This is because there’s something that is always so stable about them, something so dependable and consistent. Unfortunately, this is at times, habitual behaviors- but, you can generally rely on them to do whatever it is they are going to do. This is why I think, looking back over my own… uh… giddy goat’s dating history: there are an awful lot of Tauruses.

Speaking of dating, they also tend to be very, very sensual types that just deeply enjoy the more physical things in life. Far from just referring to sexual things, we’re talking about comfort food, nice things they can smell, touch, and feel. They will work quite hard: but, getting them up out of the comfy chair to do so is often a bit of a chore. Once you do, however- there’s generally no stopping them. You might mistake them for being lazy because of this, but that’s far from the case- they happen to be a fixed sign and as such, they’re very rooted, and as I said: that security, the stability, well- it’s important to them.

When the Sun is in Taurus

When the Sun moves into Taurus from April 20th until May 21st, it’s a good time to enjoy some of the finer things- indulge a bit. I don’t ever discount the fact that Taurus is one of those springtime signs at all because it is awfully tempting to lay in bed on a cool morning with the windows open and just relax. It’s a good time to just generally celebrate being alive and enjoy yourself. Taurus is also a sign that’s very nature-oriented, so being out and about in the cooler but not yet sweltering heat is also great. Of course, if you live somewhere else- it may be you’re moving into autumn here. But in Missouri, late Spring to Summer is brutal, but, early Spring- Taurus Time, so to speak, is usually pretty pleasant. Well, except for the tornados and flooding, but you know, beyond that… ;)

You’ll want to be careful, however, of other less pleasant Taurus habits- and well, we are talking Taurus, so habits are certainly a thing. Be careful not to be so stubbornly rooted in your preconceived notions. Don’t be afraid or ashamed to admit when you’re wrong. Be open to new ideas, places, and experiences.

There is every reason to enjoy and focus on those things in your life that you love and enjoy now. While I’m pretty keen on always paying careful attention to the things that delight you and expressing gratitude year round for them- never hurts to tap into a little Taurus energy and really give it a go.
