*Ademis pulls out his big book on Astrology
Taurus:
You are the person others count on in the clutch, the one who perseveres when less determined spirits fall by the wayside. Because perseverance is the quality most needed for success, you tend to bo so.
You are not the pioneer who first strikes out for new territory, but the determined settler who follows and builds houses and towns and cultivates the soil. If you were born under this second sign of the zodiac, there is a pronounced stubborn streak in you. You greatest strength resides in your tenacity and steady, relentless drive. You are the original immovable object and irresistible force.
Taurus is a fixed sign, which means it natives are not fond of change. You simply cannot be rushed into anything new. A different approach creates unease and anxiety in you. You are most comfortable and secure with the familiar, and your attitude might be summed up as "If everything is working fine the way it is, why try something new?"
Everyone knows you have a temper, although you rarely show it. As a subordinate remarked of a Taurean executive, "No one actually saw him lose his temper, but no one every doubted that he had one." Generally, you are equable and patient, as patient as time itself, and it is only when opposed (even then, it will take a lot of pushing) that you become angry. However, there is volcanic activity going on underneath you easygoing, genial exterior. Like a bull quietly grazing in a pasture, you're not looking to challenge anyone, but it would be a fatal mistake for anyone to challenge you.
There is a soft and gentle side to your personallity. Ruled by Venus, goddess of love and beauty (Note by Ademis: Oh... and SEX!!! ), you are endowed with genuine creative gifts, responsive to color and design, inspired by art and music. In those born under Taurus, the stability of an earth sign combines with the esthetic influence of Venus to create a responsible, steadfast personality with a deep appreciation for the finer aspects of life. The Taurean taste is elefant. You have a keen eye for what is caluable. Usually an avid collector, it's a rare native of this sign who does not think that possessions, objets, wealth, and money are definitely for having- and the more the better.
Security is you byword. You look for permanence in career, lover, marriage, and home. Let other gad about, jet-set, gallivant, and sleep around. You are happiest at home, sorrounded by the beatiful, expensive things you have collected, secure in the warmth of a mate's devotion, stead-fast and faithful to those whom you love.
Beneath the surface you are sensuous and sentimental. You don't give lavish gifts as tokens of affection because you are not a carefreespender - calue is what you expect for you hard-earned dollar. Although you are willing to follow where your heart leads, you are willing to follow where your heart leads, you find it difficult to display your feelings openly. Your personality is private and self-contained.
Living with you isn't always easy. You can be dogmatic, secretice, stingy, opinionated, and suspicious, and your silent manner may conceal feeling of envy and rivalry. Its hard o get you moving, for you tend to be self-indulgent, even lazy. You have great stores of energy, however, which you put to use when you want to - not when others want you to.
Venus emphasizes the social side of Taurus. Although basically shy and reserved with strangers, you can be a wonderful hos or hostess. You like to entertain those you are fond of. You may not indulge as freely in frivolous pleasure as, say, Leo or Libra natives, but you are renowned for enjoying good food and good wine in plush surroundings. You believe in pampering yourself with the comforts of the good life.
As a person born under this sign, you are an endearing combination of the dependable and sensible, the sensitive and the emotional. Inside every practical, stolid-seeming Taurean, there is a romantic dreamer struggling to get out.
There you have me, and the taurus population (or at least me) in a nutshell.
