Taurus
(April 20-May 20)
Â
Personality Profile
Element: Earth
Mode: Fixed
Archetypes: The Earth Spirit, The Musician, The Silent One
Lesson: Serenity (to find it, and keep it)
Â
Taurus is our Earth Spirit. Without Taurus, grounding energy, we would be caught swirling in the winds of our intellect. It is through our connection to the ground that we remember we are existing in a physical reality that requires our attention and hard work for it to survive. Taurus works endlessly toward anything it sees as essential, and once it has established or attained something it focuses on maintenance.
Taurus, more than any other archetype, instinctively knows the amount of steadfast dedication, patience and care all living things require to come into fruition; specifically the body and the Earth. Taurus carries a "Mother Earth" energy that instantly provides a sense of trust, safety, and reliability.
Strengths
+ Dubious of complexity and antipathetic to drama.

The advice: Accept that you may have a hard time letting go. Using Gemini energy as a remedy. Talk out your losses with trusted companions and be flexible to alternative options. Remember that life is like a tree in that some things are permanent (the roots, the trunk, and branches) whilst others are merely seasonal (leaves, fruit). A tree cannot catch a leaf that has died and fallen to the grass. Instead, it sits peacefully knowing that it is capable of growing something in its place.
