Living in Harmony with the Earth

You've been hoping for a major career break for the past several years. Finally, it seems, New Year's Day of 2009 just might bring the long-sought appearance of the good fortune you've been awaiting. At midnight on January 1, the Sun, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Pluto will all be in Capricorn, an Earth Sign like Taurus. Saturn will be in Virgo, another Earth Sign – all connecting beautifully with your sign. This may bring career success and the resulting monetary gain, but it might also imply that this will be the year when the grassroots environmental movement actually attracts a lot of followers and begins to make serious progress, and you could be in the thick of it all. To find out more about your love life, your career, your finances, and more, get your 2009 Horoscope!

need to find the “Good” Taurus magnet and take a picture of that one…

Taurus, the second Sign of the Zodiac, is all about reward. Unlike the Arian's love of the game, Taureans love the rewards of the game. Think physical pleasures and material goods, for those born under this Sign revel in delicious excess. They are also a tactile lot, enjoying a tender, even sensual, touch. Taureans adore comfort and like being surrounded by pleasing, soothing things. Along these lines, they also favor a good meal and a fine wine. The good life in all its guises, whether it's the arts or art of their own making (yes, these folks are artistic as well), is heaven on Earth to the Taurean-born.

It's the Bull which is the Taurean's mascot, and along with that comes the expectation that these folks are bull-headed and stubborn. Yes, they are. Hey, this Sign has a Fixed Quality attached to it after all, so expect that things will occasionally grind to a halt. That said, Taureans don't start out with the intention of getting stuck. They simply want to get things done, and it's that steady, dogged persistence which winds up being viewed as stubbornness. Bulls are actually among the most practical and reliable members of the Zodiac, and they are happy to plod along, as it were, in pursuit of their goals. The good news for Bulls is that once they get to the finish line, they'll swaddle themselves in material goods. A self-indulgent beast? Perhaps, but if you toiled as laboriously as these folks do, you'd need some goodies, too.

Taurus is ruled by the Planet Venus, a lovely gal who didn't deny herself many things. In ancient Roman mythology, Venus was the Goddess of Love, Beauty and Pleasure, and Taureans have pretty much taken up where she left off. Bulls are fond of all things pretty, whether it's in their home, at a museum or on the stage. Life as one sweet pas de deux is how the Taurean-born like it. To onlookers, this may look like so much materialism and blessed excess, but Bulls really aren't interested in living without beauty in their lives. Beauty to the Bull also comes in the way of a happy home life, one which includes a partner and a stable relationship.

Taureans value harmony in their personal lives, so they'll work hard on keeping their mate happy. The Bull's penchant for sensual pleasures, of course, can only help things along! Bulls can also be the sappiest of sentimentalists. Will all this overweening attention to their mate turn a Bull into a possessive mess? Probably not, although these folks do have to manage their tendency to latch on a bit tight. At the end of the day, however, the Taurean-born are true romantics and loyal to the core.

The Element associated with Taurus is Earth. No pie-in-the-sky for these practical folks, since they'd much rather be on terra firma. Bulls tend toward conservatism, and this is often seen in their day-to-day behavior. No far-out schemes (that's Air) or shrieking ultimatums (more like Fire) here. Taureans far prefer to take each day slowly and steadily and work toward their ultimate goal. Along these lines, those born under this Sign are happy to stick with their projects until they have reached a successful conclusion. They are also extremely patient and dependable along the way. Does that sound earthy enough? The only kink in this well-oiled chain is the heckler in the gallery that tries to upbraid the Bull. These folks may not have a hair-trigger temper, but it's short enough. Bulls in a hissy fit can get pretty argumentative, but eventually they'll calm down and come back to center, since these folks would much rather be Zen. The Earth in this Sign does tend to act as a balancing mechanism so that things never get truly out of hand. For every one person who considers the Bull a pain, there are two who will say 'No way!' and happily take the Taurean's gentle charms any day.

Seeing as how Bulls are generally strong and well-built, it's no surprise that these folks enjoy testing their strength on the field of play. Expect to find a Bull engaged in a spirited game of hoops or mountain climbing. Hiking is also a favorite pastime, since it keeps Taureans close to their beloved earth. Indoor adventures are also favored by Bulls, which is why the opera or ballet is right up a Taurean's alley. When it comes to love, the Taurus-born are devoted, romantic and somewhat possessive. Their sensual nature has a way of erasing any mistakes! Since Taurus rules the neck and throat, Bulls would be wise to keep a silky scarf at hand, ideally in a warm (and soothing) earth tone.

The great strength of the Taurean-born is in their stability, loyalty and dogged determination. Bulls want to get the job done, and they will. What better way to get the riches they so fervently crave?

It's actually happening!
Have you ever dreamed of skyrocketing to the top of the heap overnight? Possibly, Taurus, but you're patient, and thus never depended on it. Yet it may finally happen to you, whether you've counted on it or not. In 2008, the passage of both Jupiter and Pluto through Capricorn could make even your wildest dreams come true - and it might take you a while to grasp that it actually has happened to you. It's inadvisable, however, to remain for very long in this fugue of disbelief. At some point, you're going to have to stand up and charge on ahead like a good Bull. You're going to want to keep this momentum going - and a good way to do this is to plan carefully all the way. If you want guidance for doing this planning, your 2008 Forecast is here and available.

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)
This Full Moon stresses your plans for the future. Although you may already know what you want to do, insecurities kick in and cause you to doubt yourself -- even if you are aware of the obstacles in your way. This isn't necessarily about real blockages; it's more about what you need to do to overcome your self-doubt. There is no need for immediate change. But keep an open mind, even while you stick to your current plan.
