Life, your background, school, and, if you work, your job, will all have given you clear information on how to achieve. None of it is about enjoying yourself. But increasingly, it is time both to deal with life’s practicalities and be excited by what each day brings. The starting point? Be generous with yourself.
Ignore others’ maneuvers—and have a grand time anyway
For you, the process of planning—of imposing order on life, or turning ideas into reality—isn’t just about getting things done. It is a pleasure, and even more, it is one of your real gifts as a Taurus. While you are a practical earth sign, born with the relationship planet Venus as your ruler, you have a talent for managing such matters naturally. Yet there is also a challenge. Once you’ve organized a plan and made things happen, it feels like a letdown, because you no longer have a project.
The question is, what will you do next? Organize another plan, plant a garden? The fact is, you can do any of that. Your journey is about being able to exercise your creative muscles in every way, and even more, to experience the joy of that creativity every day, in how you live, how you think, and your plans and projects.
As an earth sign, you tend to focus more on the physical world around you. One of your greatest challenges is to go within while still enjoying what nature offers you. Find the balance between the two, and every day will be a joy. You will enjoy the plants around you and the heavens in the sky. What’s more, you will enjoy the love of those you care about all the more. While you can’t weigh or measure these, they’re still deeply touching. Achieving that balance can be one of your greatest gifts.
You take an understandable pride in the fact that those around you—family, colleagues, even neighbors and friends—rely on you. They come to you for support, they ask questions. As a clever earth sign, you’ve got solutions. Yet, while you’re delighted to lend them a hand, it doesn’t boost your spirits. Learn to embrace others’ joy and discover your own.
There is all sorts of advice out there about taking care of yourself. However, the best starting point is whatever excites you and gives you a sense of promise. It may simply mean exercising in the way you want, by walking or going someplace lovely, or it may be having a beautiful meal or a massage. Whatever it is, it’s something that is just for you.
Life, your background, school, and, if you work, your job, will all have given you clear information on how to achieve. None of it is about enjoying yourself. But increasingly, it is time both to deal with life’s practicalities and be excited by what each day brings. The starting point? Be generous with yourself.
Ordinarily you’d be uncomfortable handing a task that’s your responsibility over to somebody else. Except, at the moment, that individual is both eager to deal with the matter in question, and perhaps, better equipped than you are. Knowing that, waste no time on debate. Simply leave it to them.
Taurus: APRIL 19 – MAY 19
Ruler: Venus
Symbol: The Bull
Element: Earth
Flower: Orchid
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.
