You wouldn’t think achieving goals begins with stillness. But this variety of reflection prepares you to fight for what you intend to achieve. True, this may not come naturally to you. But once you realize achieving that stillness is the challenge you’re meeting, then you’ll not only enjoy it—you’ll be proud of yourself for doing it.
Some insist that being kind is weak. Still, do it anyway
For you, Taurus, as an earth sign, imposing order on life is important. Even if there is disarray, you like to know where you are standing, what needs to be done to impose order, what comes first, and perhaps, even what you can put off until next week or next month. Yet at the same time, there are twists and turns that can upset your plans. The trick is to recognize how much you can achieve, or not, on any one day. Then, take a deep breath, knowing that the rest simply has to wait.
Yet there is a part of you that truly enjoys this challenge. Without it, life can be dull, if not predictable. You may complain about those challenges, but the creativity they bring out is important. What’s more, they expose you to new ideas and new people, which bring very real rewards.
So the challenge is learning to recognize how much you benefit from the resulting twists and turns and, in doing so, possibly complaining less, too. The problem with complaining? It prevents you from viewing difficulties as challenges that you can actually conquer, and in the process, learn from. Better yet, when you have conquered them, you can celebrate not only your conquest but also what you’ve learned. Abandoning complaints may seem strange. Still, once you do, it will be like clouds vanishing, leaving you with sunny sky.
We all face practical challenges. But you may encounter somebody who enjoys creating obstacles—possibly a family member, friend, or colleague. As a determined Taurus, your instinct is to stand up to them. Yet, this only complicates matters. Back off. Let them be who they are. This may seem weak, yet you’ll soon discover the peace it brings to your life.
While there are all sorts of diets and regimens to follow, true inner well-being is another matter. It is about allowing certain individuals, or even circumstances, to be the nuisances they are meant to be. You enjoy battling to make improvements, even if it means facing one battle after another. By simply letting them unfold, you will give yourself peace.
You wouldn’t think achieving goals begins with stillness. But this variety of reflection prepares you to fight for what you intend to achieve. True, this may not come naturally to you. But once you realize achieving that stillness is the challenge you’re meeting, then you’ll not only enjoy it—you’ll be proud of yourself for doing it.
Usually you’d check out the facts before getting involved in life-changing arrangements, personal or professional. Yet things are moving so swiftly, it’s a matter of now or never. Waste no time debating the pros and cons. It will only confuse you. At moments like this, your instincts are far more reliable.

Sensuality and practicality are fundamental to you as a Taurus, the first of the earth signs. While its ruling planet, Venus, accents life’s pleasures, it’s also about assets, which means you are a gracious individual who lives both well and wisely. That’s reflected in your flower, the orchid, and your aromatic spices—cloves and sorrel. Your tree is crab apple, while your stones reflect Venus’s pastel shades in both jade and emerald.
