3rd Decan Taurus

Posted by 2N3R
What exactly is bad about it? People really need to remember that everyone is an individual. Don't be hard on yourself over a generalization.

3rd decan. Im a worker/business type. Life's great. It can take us a while to come into our own being slow moving Tauruses. But yeah, im preoccupied with business and being creative. An individual

You mean the awesome Capricorn decant, ruled by Saturn? You might take things too seriously, worry about the future a bit more, or have a harder time relaxing, but all the super successful Taureans I know are from this decan. Definitely the most determined and hard working.

Worry is my biggest issue, hence feeling cursed. But thank you, you described me in your msg perfectly, still working on the successful part but holding my own...trying to anyways

Saturn feels heavy but its influence can be a blessing.
Maybe you should post the rest of your chart, if you find out the rest of your placements.

Zim: Hie there. I am a third decan taurus and im reading a lot of negative things about us being in this decan. Anyone else know any third decan tauruses that can tell me how their lives are or how to cope being in that decanete.
>>>I'm cynical, depressed and anxious alot....struggle with addiction to everything bad (but getting better with this as I age), and 3 out of 5 days I hate living on this planet basically. Looking forward to death as a liberation from this nonsense (not suicidal though). Super creative - really into my artwork, writing, music, poetry, etc. Biggest source of disappointment/frustration is just trying to balance between a soul-destroying corporate job that sucks me dry (but gets me all of the material things I feel I MUST have in life), and finding the energy to do my artwork freelance (the only thing that makes me feel like life is worth living) after I've given the best part of my day to the office job. Heavy into reading everything, majored in philosophy - constantly obsessing over the meaning of life, investigating every and anything seemingly supernatural/metaphysical. Then on the other hand I'm afflicted with extreme vanity...obsess over my looks, staying in shape, a hair being out of place, waste way too much money on expensive clothing, etc. I cope positively through being creative, exercise, laughing at the absurdity of it all, spiritual practices (prayer, meditation, reading spiritual texts), reading everything I can get my hands on related to peoples' experiences while on their deathbed, or having been revived after being pronounced dead (part of why I look forward to dying), etc. I cope negatively by abusing opiates occasionally, drinking once in a while, eating food that is really bad for me, etc....I'm like alot of other bulls I know, only more bipolar.

it's hard being a 3rd decan taurus. I read that description, it was BS man, I swear.

Zim - looks to me like there are just a lot of Capricorn (dark, sad, serious vs. persevering, humorous, classy) traits blended in with Taurus (I'm also Cap rising - woohoo!). There are a lot of positives mentioned even on the Darkstar site - artistic, sophisticated, resilient, alluring:
"Taurus decan 3 are life??s troupers, they get knocked down, but they get up again, and again and again. Irrepressible, irresistible and iridescent, they do have the ability to bewitch. The Bulls sensual energy combined with Algol??s dark edge makes them very alluring. The men can play the dark knight (but in very shiny armour) and the women a smoky-eyed gypsy with wild Medusa hair."
That's not so bad. Not trying to flirt with you here, but looking at your profile pics, you're very beautiful - all of your features really. You can almost see that Saturnian melancholy in your pics - like you don't like to smile fully or do fake smiles in pics. I'm the same way. On the weed, yeah, I hear you. I can't do it regularly, but I actually love it. Enhances creativity, the pleasure of music (majorly for me), and just about everything else. If you're anxious though, and you do it regularly, it probably makes that worse (did for me anyway). Basically, I like anything that engenders escapism. You just have to find healthier ways.
Apparently with Saturn's influence, shit will turn around eventually. I have been SO pessimistic all of my life. You're probably learning the extent to which your perspective colors everything, how necessary it is for you to start focusing on the positives, being grateful for various things that are going right in life, not be so hard on yourself or expect so much from yourself, etc. I consider these all part of the trial of having this disposition. We are such realists that we kinda have to fight to be optimistic. Pessimism may be more accurate but optimists do better in so many areas, because they expect good things to come, and they keep moving forward. Great book called _Learned Optimism_ by Martin Seligman, the founder of Positive Psychology. Very helpful...not self-help nonsense, but real research and practical application.
