The Taurus Horoscope
Our delineation of the Taurus horoscope follows a very logical method, based on ancient basic and archetypal principles. It's NOT about stereotypes.
Every zodiac sign is the result of the so-called Quadruplicities or Modes (Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable signs) and Triplicities (related to the four elements: Fire, Air, Water and Earth).
The Taurus horoscope is based on the Fixed Earth energies:
- The Fixed principle is about stability, holding tight and clinging. It implies concentrated, stabilizing and controlling energy.
Fixed is unchanging, undisturbed and settled. Fixed represents the "getters", "havers" and "preservers."
- The Earth principle is about material, tangible things. It's the solid-state and always very condense. It's cold and heavy. It wants to retain in a contracted manner.
Blending fixed earth into something tangible or material, you get the keyword of "concrete."
The main characteristics of the Sun (representing your self-expressing life force) in the fixed earth sign Taurus are:
- living in a physical world (emphasis on the body and the senses)
- proceeding (very) slowly, often in a reluctant way, cautious
- steady and persistent energies, inert and immovable at times
- loves comfort
- self-contained: stands firm in the own physical body
- wants to HAVE (for the sake of it)
- Taurus is the most settled sign of the zodiac
- quiet and silent, unemotional, steady and practical
- firm and dogged
Depending on your birth date, the Taurus horoscope divides into the following three decanates:
