Constellation and Mythology
Taurus’ constellation is a collection of stars that go with the name Hyades, and their situation is in the northern sky. Also, part of this stellar system is the Seven Sister, otherwise known as the Pleiades.
This constellation belongs to one of the oldest, and the closest open clusters of stars to the planet Earth are the Pleiades and Hyades. The origination of Hyades is from the Greek which comes with the meaning – the rainy ones since the belief of the ancient Greek is that these stars have a crucial influence on rainfalls.
The Bull is what several cultures, mythologies, and civilizations attribute to Taurus. One of its many forms is that of the Apis, Egyptians’ sacred Bull. And in Latin, Taurus means bull.
One significant myth of the Greek regarding Taurus is the transformation of Zeus into a bull so he can seduce Europa by getting close to her. When Zeus got Europa’s attention, he carried her on his back to Crete where he showed his presence.
Thus, the romantic relationship between Zeus and Europa commenced, and they had three sons, with Minus being the most important as the famous king of Crete.
Subsequently, Zeus showed his regard to the bull by placing it in the night sky.
Spiritual Connotations and Symbolism
The first among the three earthy signs of the zodiac is Taurus. In a most plausible interpretation of Taurus is that it stands for the creative forces of Nature and its ruling planet is Venus.
The goddess Aphrodite, with its depiction of horns on her head and clear astrological connotations, represented Venus in the old Greece.
The sign of Taurus has a connection with the emotional world of the soul when it comes to a more spiritual sense of the world. It has the symbol of the mutual relationship that exists between spirit and matter.
When there is a desire, the soul needs to find means from the material world to pursue that desire and ultimately fulfill it.
In some cases, the desire may take different levels of sophistication.
The material plane has a link with the lowest expression of desires. Also, deeper desires correlate with the mental plane, where the acquisition of knowledge takes place.
Indeed, the lesson of desires is the lesson of transmutation and transformation of energy. Humanity has the freedom from the worldly attachments through the process of mutation and also brings it into spiritual realization.
When the soul ripens, the eye of the cosmic bull can spot the reality that stays hidden beyond the physical world. Now, it becomes easy for Taurus to see through the illusion and observe the omnipresent and magnificent cosmic light.
Personality Traits
All around you, people know you to be a practical, sensual, reliable, and ambitious individual who has an eye for beauty. Due to your skills in managing finances, you will undoubtedly make efficient financial management.
Here are some of your positive and negative traits.
Positive Traits
As a native of Taurus, you are generous. To endure loss or difficulty is nothing to you when you have to lend a helping hand to the family, friends, or the needy.
And apart from that, it is not in your nature to leave others disappointed, and they can count on you. The influence of your dependability endears you an excellent friend and employee.
That goes a long way to make you a down-to-earth person. You are a rare sensible and reliable soul with pleasant and polite personalities. It hardly ever goes to your head.
And talking about being patient, it is a virtue that you have plenty. You have a high preference for doing something right rather than being the first person to execute the project.
You also prefer to have freedom when it comes to your emotions and finances without seeking support in cases of life throwing lemons at you.
You are also persistent.
You have a strong persistence of putting all your efforts to get anything on which you set your eyes. It is often a rare case for setbacks and failures to dampen your spirit.
Negative Traits
One of your negative traits is your stubbornness even though you are a respectful and easygoing person. Sometimes, it is so unbelievable that you tend to be inflexible and stubborn in your approach.
And on the ground that a reasonable claim doesn’t favor you, you tend not to listen!
You have self-indulgence that influences you not to see how the world revolves around you even with your nature of goal-orientation. You become ignorant and rude of people’s emotions due to your self-indulgence streak.
And sometimes, you tend to be lazy even though you are patience particularly when someone orders you to take an assignment. Without any form of motivation, you may not move a muscle and get to work.
You can become materialistic when you desire to maintain some image in society. And one primary negative trait you have is possessiveness. Being possessive means resentment and jealousy and it can cost you genuine relationship.
You also go to extremes when it comes to saving money and building a better future even though it is good to value money.
Dark Sides
You have some dark sides that come in many forms, among them is motivation wise. People see you as a self-motivated and hardworking person, but that is wrong. The thing is you need a push because you will settle with doing nothing and being as relaxed as possible.
If only you know that it limits your movement in the workplace as you may never try sick or push for a new, better job or promotion.
The negative side of it is that Venus, which rules aesthetics and material, rules your sign, Taurus. While you adore nice things, you may not be willing to work for it. You will end up being so hard to motivate, push, and self-indulgent because of your laziness.
Another form of this comfortability comes in the form of relationships. Sometimes, you tend to be so comfortable that moving your connections to the next level with your partner becomes so difficult.
Because what you have going on is working, and you can’t afford the risk of losing it or ruining it, you tend to stop yourself from marrying or committing to someone. Your entire relationship is all about coasting without any push for progress.
You are so comfortable in your relationship that you make no effort to try and please your partner, thereby allowing the affair to become uneventful and routine. The connection thus becomes a convenience since you don’t open up emotionally to your partner.
Also, the comfort will blind you from realizing that your partner is unhappy and you will be unwilling to see or hear it.
Another dark side of you is the influence of Venus on you which makes you possessive and often arrogant. Perfection and image are essential to you, and the world must perceive you as such.
You indulge yourself and spend money you sometimes don’t have on materials and aesthetically pleasing stuff like jewelry, perfumes, cars, home decors, nice clothes, and so on.
You have the nature of showing off, boasting about your accomplishments and viewing yourself as successful, intelligent, and somebody worthy of praise.
Also, you are such a person who seeks a friend’s advice and completely ignores it.
Your dark sides are not that secretive, but it appears to be since the people in your trust space are the ones who get the brunt of it. And as it is, not everyone gets to become part of that space and ignite those dark sides of you.
Defining Your Future
Have an extensive lesson on how to think before you act. Don’t think it sounds simple because you may less likely attract lousy luck when you take time out to weigh the pros and cons before you decide on anything.
Your playful charm and natural charisma will draw people to you in an instant.
In some way, you are often self-taught, and your approach to people and situations is natural and relaxed. It is easy and quick for you to win friends and as a result, to attract good fortune.
Sadly, it can also make you the object of resentment and envy. It is crucial for you to understand the effect of your popularity and success will have on others and also learn whether to tone down on your lightheaded approach or find the appropriate level of intensity for your audience.
Routine and practical concerns are unfulfilling and boring to you due to your wild-child personality. You have a deep affection for change, movement, and variety while depression and reckless behavior may set in when you find yourself stuck or restricted in any way.
Even when this butterfly approach endows you a fascinating person with a wealth of experience and knowledge, if you delve more deeply into situations or subjects, you will discover how enlightening and enriching a more intense commitment, and expertise can be.
While you seem to breeze through life, it’s highly likely that at some point a significant event, generally one with painful and unpleasant consequences, will have given you the impetus to focus on your more earnest side and have concern for the welfare of others.
In the event of the combination of this newfound earnestness, a sense of purpose, and the enthusiastic enjoyment of life which is your defining feature, the possibilities for you to achieve success in all areas of your life are limitless.
