Hol-eeeee sheeeeit....

I'm not one that usually puts any measure of faith into things like horoscopes, or tarot cards, or palmistry (which, believe me, has an entirely different meaning to a teenage boy), or, for that matter, astrology.

That being said, I am a Taurus. I'm damn proud of being a Taurus, and no one's ever going to convince me that the typical attributes of us Taureans are anything less than accurate. All this to say, I was poking around her site and just happened to run across the best summation of what it means to be a Taurus yet. And, it just so happens that it matches just about 100% with what I think my personality is. The only place it's off is where it talks about my sense of humor showing up on rare occasions. Nope. Sorry. Couldn't be further from the truth. I wear humor like a suit of armor. It's always here. Other than that, read on. And get a glimpse into the wonderful psyche that is Charmcity.




The Taurean's characteristics are solidity, practicality, extreme determination and strength of will - no one will ever drive them, but they will willingly and loyally follow a leader they trust. They are stable, balanced, conservative good, law-abiding citizens and lovers of peace, possessing all the best qualities of the bourgeoisie. as they have a sense of material values and physical possessions, respect for property and a horror of falling into debt, they will do everything in their power to maintain the security of the status quo and be somewhat hostile to change They are faithful and generous friends with a great capacity for affection, but rarely make friends with anyone outside their social rank, to which they are ordinarily excessively faithful.

In the main, they are gentle, even tempered, good natured, modest and slow to anger, disliking quarreling and avoiding ill-feeling. If they are provoked, however, they can explode into violent outbursts of ferocious anger in which they seem to lose all self-control. Equally unexpected are their occasional sallies into humor and exhibitions of fun.

Although their physical appearance may belie it, they have a strong aesthetic taste, enjoying art, for which they may have a talent, beauty (recoiling from anything sordid or ugly) and music. They may have a strong, sometimes unconventional, religious faith. Allied to their taste for all things beautiful is a love for the good things of life pleasure, comfort, luxury and good food and wine and they may have to resist the temptation to over indulgence, leading to drunkenness, gross sensuality, and covetousness. No other sign in the zodiac is closer to earth then Taurus.

The main objective in leading a Taurean life is primarily (though not entirely) to maintain stability and physical concerns. Your inner spiritual sense longs for earthly harmony and wholesomeness.

When you fully understand this, and work toward this end, you will no longer need to blindly reassure yourself with external possessions and comforts. A realization that finding this inner peace will cause all of the above mentioned positive things will overtake you and your life will be very full.

Ultimately the Taurean needs to discover their truest, deepest and highest values. When they know what is truly valuable, they are no longer chained to people and to things that have to do with lesser values. The greatest indication of value to a Taurean is beauty, which cannot be owned, only appreciated.

Wow...
