The Sun in Taurus can give persistence and a powerful drive in the pursuit of goals. You are here to use your endurance in pursuit of manifesting in the material world. Yet, you also know how to slow down and enjoy the comforts of life. A natural sense of charm and grace may come easily to you! Undoubtedly, stability and consistency throughout your daily life is essential. You take comfort in predictability. Your heroic journey to your authentic self involves learning to maintain an inner feeling of security, regardless of your external circumstances.
Astrology of Taurus:
Taurus is an earth sign–signifying practicality and reliability. The planet Venus, the Roman goddess of beauty and the arts, rules the sign of Taurus. If you are using the energy of Venus constructively, you will be aware of your values and artistic sensibilities. Creating peace, harmony, and beauty in the world will come easily to you. However, unbalanced energy of Venus can manifest as greed and overindulgence.
The bull symbolizes the qualities of Taurus: power, strength, virility, and tenacity. Unbothered, the bull will graze peacefully. But if his anger is aroused, he will dig in his heels and firmly stand his ground. Likewise, Taurus natives can be gentle, yet resolute if challenged.
Like all astrological signs, you can be functional or dysfunctional in the expression of your Taurean qualities. In fact, your “superpowers” are the abilities that come naturally to you when you are at your best! However, a lack of balance can lead to behavior that prevents you from being your best. These habits, much like “kryptonite”, can limit your potential.
Taurus Superpowers:
- At your very best, you are truly steadfast and dependable! You have a realistic approach to life, and you radiate calmness to those around you.
- Since the planet Venus rules your Sun sign, you may have creative gifts. In addition, it’s likely that you have an appreciation for art and music. Many famous musicians and singers have strong Taurus placements in their charts. Artistic vision could be your superpower!
- Manifesting in the material plane may be one of your strengths. You usually have sound instincts about money. Others may come to you for financial advice.
- When the going gets tough, Taurus gets going! You know how to buckle down and persevere through challenges. Your will pulls you through situations that may cause others to give up. This tenacity often leads to your success.
- Authenticity is your calling card. Since you tend to be comfortable with yourself, others will typically feel at home in your presence.
- Since Taurus is an earth sign, you may be drawn to the world of nature. Creating a beautiful flower garden, or nurturing your pets may be one of your passions.
Taurus Kryptonite:
- Having a sense of control over your environment is important to you. However, this can make you resistant to having new experiences, which can lead to stagnation. Always remember that change can be a valuable part of your transformation!
- If out of balance, you may be prone to believing that you need possessions and material belongings to prove your worth to others.
- Even though you have the inner strength of the “bull”, you can be deeply sensitive and easily hurt at times.
- Territorial by nature, you may notice the tendency to feel possessive over people or things in your life. You may secretly fear that others will not be as loyal to you as you are to them.
- Watch out for the tendency to be overly stubborn and set in your ways. Flexibility can lead to greater growth.
- Overindulgence in good food and the comforts of life could lead to stagnation. Balance between work and relaxation is necessary.
- You may be reluctant to part with material items when they are no longer needed, leading to a collection of useless items.
Taurus Life Lessons:
- Taurus must learn the lesson on non-attachment. It’s important to find a sense of balance between meeting your material needs and paying attention to the other aspects of your life.
- You must learn to let go and release the things, people, and situations that you have outgrown.
- Learn to flow with the variations of daily life without feeling like you need to control every aspect.
- Even though you may feel drawn to establish financial abundance, always remember that your value is not determined by your bank account.
- In spite of what’s going on around you, it’s possible to reach success if you center yourself within your inner power.
- Challenge your fear of the unknown! It’s easy to stay in a job, home, or relationship that is not serving your highest good. You may be afraid of what lies ahead. However, avoiding change may give you a sense of stability. Nevertheless, you will sacrifice your peace of mind in the process.
- Trust that the Universe is abundant! When you believe that there is enough for everyone, it will be easier to open your heart and share your resources with others.
