Welcome to our resident Earth, the most earthy of earth signs. Get out and get your hands in the dirt to help you get in touch with the lovely earth energy. Taurus, ruled by Venus, has its mind flow in beauty and money, and not necessarily in that order. This energy is related to seeing how much that they can accumulate in the terms of abundance of things. They are into the value of things, like money and how to accumulate it. Their job is to awaken the Earth after the winter and the sign of Aries.

They take the energy of Aries, fire, and channel it into a workable form to nurture the Earth and bring forth bounty. A truly feminine sign that believes that her job is to make things happen in the world of agriculture, wealth, and their love of beauty. The motherly nature of Taurus is exemplified as in Mothers day, the May first celebration of Earth itself, and stomping it to make it fertile to embrace the bounty that she can bring forth. Do not, and I repeat, do not try to change the mind of the Taurean, or also to make them change their routine pace, at accomplishing their intended task.

They will go at whatever they deem necessary tasks to enhance their idea at that time. Then they will proceed at another task if they want to continue but usually they would like to stop for an indefinite time to relax. This they do best as they aren't terribly motivated except when it comes to earning a wonderful income. They like to keep up a really high standard of living and if that takes working hard then so be it. Working with a Taurus is usually rather delightful, as they usually have a good sense of what is going on around them and they can poke fun at humorous situations that happen to take place in the work place.

Congeniality is the word that can be applied to them in this arena. Pleasure is their standard and they like it in all areas of their life. Slipping into a tantalizing fragrant bath, or eating an exceptionally good morsel of food can bring moans of pleasure to your ears. Taurus happens to express and comes out ruling the throat. Great singers usually have something powerful in the sign of Taurus. Barbra Streisand is an example of a great voice housed in a Taurus body. If not a great voice, then it is a quality in their voice that you can easily distinguish as unusual.

They often have a soft and throaty sound to their voice. Things are hard to change if you do not voice what you think is necessary to make your point. Giving voice to something is what we value in our lives. This is where Taurus can excel. They have the patience to explain in a calm manner to get their point across. Taurus is so good at amassing wealth in money as well as in land. They really keep an eye on the financial well being of their lives. Investing in something they feel is secure usually does well for them. This is why they really are not comfortable without a savings account, of some sort or another.

Even if they have many other interests in the financial world they always keep a secure account hidden from others, in case of emergency. They take time to adjust to something new in their lives. They really get very frustrated if they do not have time to adjust to a new thought or action. Immovable can be their mantra if they are not ready to see another point of view. Just give them time and use your patience if you are not an Aries, to see them through their dilemma.

All in all the Taurus native makes an admirable source of energy to the universe at large. Just to keep the planet in food is enough, as well as realizing the importance of good working capital to keep security a viable quality in their lives. A truly important and necessary adjunct to our lives is the Taurus native.
