T is for Taurus

The most stubborn sign in the Zodiac by far, Taurus people can really show other people the meaning of hard work. It seems like they can take on more than other people in the workplace and just keep going despite the heavy load. Makes you think of a bull, doesn't it? :)

Taurus, which, incidentally started on April 19th at 12:12pm EDT, is ruled by Venus, a fact that many people find surprising. The typical Taurus person has a love of the simple things in life and enjoys sensual pleasures--good food, good wine, good conversation, and good sex, not necessarily in that order! OK, I couldn't leave that last part out. I mean...we're talking about VENUS here! Some of you may know her as Aphrodite. Anyway, for many Taurus people, the food vs. sex debate can be very intense indeed.

Taurus rules the throat, and as such many great singers are born under the sign of the bull: Stevie Wonder, Barbara Streisand, Willie Nelson, Billy Joel, and Janet Jackson are some examples. Even if they don't have the world's most pleasing voices, singing is often therapeutic for Taurus folks.

If you're going to a party at a Taurus person's house, you will never go away hungry, sober, or disappointed; these folks are natural entertainers and really want to embrace you in their home. Many Taureans are also foodies. But don't ever throw them a surprise party; they don't take to sudden changes well.

Your typical Taurus person moves at one speed, and that speed is usually slow. Trying to rush them along won't help, so relax and don't bother wasting your breath. The advice is the same if you're trying to get a Taurus person out of a rut. Until they want out, you're wasting your time. And change? Well, attempt to get a Taurus person to do something they don't want to do and it's "like shoveling shit against the tide" as my mom used to say.

Taurus folks have generally incredible memories--the elephant is actually ruled by Taurus!--but they're not so good at keeping in touch. When you are back in touch, it will be like no time has passed at all.

Some excellent occupations for Taurus people include:

• Retail ANYTHING
• Florist
• Clothing and jewelry design
• Resource management
• Cosmetology
• Musicians and artists

For Taurus birthday presents, anything food-related will usually work well. :)
