Taurus Life Challenges

Ownership can be very important to some Taureans, and money and property can be utilized as a form of defense. For others, money itself may matter less than a familiar environment into which one can retreat. This can also mean a stable job which, although uninspiring, has the merit of being secure, or a relationship which, although difficult, has the merit of being safe.

The famous Taurean resistance to change can be understood at a much deeper level when we recognize that as a defense against chaos and the terrors of the unknown. Any basic astrological textbook will tell you that Taureans don't like change. But we need to understand why, because this allows us not only to respect the defense mechanism, but also to enter into the inner world of the Taurean and recognize what kind
of fears might underpin his or her notorious intractability. This is a far more intelligent way of interacting than simply stamping one's foot and shouting, "Why are you so bloody stubborn?" or "How can you be so materialistic?" Taureans are often terrified of the destruction that might ensue if their world falls apart into disorder or what they identify as theirs is taken away from them

Taurus is by far the slowest moving sign, and arguably the one that carries the greatest amount of inertia, so once Taurus gets moving, it's very difficult to stop it again. In the Northern Hemisphere, where astrology developed, Taurus relates to the middle of springtime, when the world has settled into a calm routine of steady growth, and this is very much what Taurus likes: slow steady, progressive growth

As a fixed earth sign, Taurus often suffers from feelings of insecurity. The Taurean must feel that the one he loves is at least attached to him as he is to the one he cares about. He will always demand proofs of loyalty and devotion, and the wise lover will know how to supply them. Taurus needs constant demonstrations of physical tenderness. With some this desire can be carried to the extreme, as Taureans are know to be extremely sensual and demanding in their sexual appetites. It should be remembered by the sons and daughters of the second sign are very physically orientated and take great pleasure in their bodies. The Taurean woman loves good perfume and soft clothes. She is extremely sensitive and can feel that there is something wrong with her if her lover forgets to give her a goodbye kiss when he goes out or neglects to compliment her on her hair.

 When Taurus finds its true purpose and something to occupy its drive and energy, its creativity knows no bounds: the skills of painting, sculpture, musical composition, and architecture are all expressions of the artistic talent of Taurus. However, in order to create Taureans need a wake up call: they must be reminded that life is constantly in a state of flux Tareans are famous for being stubborn, for digging their heels in, and for standing their ground. This can be positive if they need to maintain their position (but may be negative if they're simply resisting change
