Taurus: Gaining confidence in the ability to do what it takes to survive, the individual finds a cave where he can keep his food, his tools and be safe from the rain. He learns to protect himself and keep his life force strong by satisfying his basic needs.

Gratitude for Life; Appreciation for Other Individuals & Paths

Taurus: (Earth Element in a Personal Context) Action (in Aries) now creates the need for follow-up, for preservation, for adjustment in response to results. The urge to experience new things and confront difficulties hits a 'wall' of earth: time to get grounded, to consolidate the progress already made. As with all earth signs, Taurus works by resistance, differentiation, negation: 'I am not that, or that, or that: I am this'. The fabled stubbornness and possessiveness of this personal earth sign can evolve into the unbroken concentration of Buddha, born at the full moon in May.

Getting in touch with Taurus: Experience your inner gravity; sit in a room alone surrounded by things you love; make yourself feel good.

Taurus Astrology: A crystal mandala that serves as a source of inner strength and gravity to help me to stay firm in my own values and purpose as I encounter other individuals. I learn to value and appreciate others through my own love for myself.

Taurus Hero: The Taurus Hero is inwardly beautiful and brings beauty wherever they go. They demonstrate through their presence that inner peace and self esteem are valuable not just to themselves, but are essential to strong relationships and community participation as well.

Taurus Villain: The Taurus Villain is self-obsessed, wallowing in their own senses and possessions as a substitute for true relationship and an avoidance of social responsibility.
