TAURUS: is this true about you?

(taken from Sylvia Browne's Astrology book)
Have you read any other astrology books? Well, if so, then you know beyond a
shadow of a doubt that there is always one sign that the astrologer does
not like. That's because when you read about the various signs, both
the positive and negative aspects are discussed. But then you get to one
particular sign, and you realize that there seems to be nothing but negative
traits associated with it. Well, I'm going to have to be very tolerant
with the sign of Taurus,and I've got to be kind about this . . . God, I
have to be kind!Taurus people are boring. I'm trying to be kind, but every
Taurus that I have ever known (and I mean a fully aspected Taurus1)
has a tendency toward stupidity. Yet I do not think that they are actually
that dumb, but they act that way. They will often reply to questions with
"Huh?" and a puzzled look. I think this is to make someone come on more.
You will want to walk up and say, "Do you hear me? Are you listening? Watch
my lips!"Everyone who has a Taurus friend has a karmic debt! Even when
you say, "Get away," they hang on to your leg. You can beat them with a stick
,and they say, "I love you anyway" An Aries ought to work with a Taurus, for
God's sake, because they've got enough patience. The Aries would repeat
things 55 times, and the Taurus would say, "I finally get
it," which would make the Aries say, "Oh, how wonderful!" Taureans usually
have very high-falutin'speech. They usually talk like this: "The cosmic
influences of the seminal fluid, in the great beyond of the ad infinitum,
are coming together in the heated vortex within." You then say,
"Pardon me, but I do not understand a thing you're saying." In this instance,
they just asked you to have sex, without your even knowing it!
Taureans are also very poetic in their speech, which seems contrary to their
sign. But they always sound like they're going to break into Shakespeare,
which seems like a paradox because they're so thick. They can think of 16
different ways to say something beautifully. And this is the sign that gets
drunk on words.Their verbalization pattern is something to behold. Taurus
is the sign of the bull, and bulls are definitely stubborn. This is basically
how you can spot a Taurus: Hell hath no fury like Taureans on a rampage;
they will walk over anybody. But it is usually out of righteous anger, because
they are ruled by Venus, the love planet. So this is not a malicious sign.
Y
because they're vindictive and will
absolutely stalk you???like an elephant.Taureans do not forget past injustices,
and they also remember their past pain as well??? and will remind you of it.
The tragedy with a Taurus is that their pain is just as fresh today as
it was the first time. Their pain will often make you feel guilty, and if you
tell them about your guilt, they will tell you to think nothing of it. So
they're not malicious; but they do become very martyred.It has always been
said that the water signs are martyred, but Taureans outdo them all.
Taureans can be the biggest martyrs in the world. They will tell you what
they've done for you, when they did it, why they did it, and how they did it.
They tend to live in the past a lot. If you're married to a Taurus, this
individual will tell you about their past romances, and they will go into details
about the whole situation.They want to tell you and confess all, which is called
"spilling your guts." Not only that, they will tell you how much better you
are than their previous lovers???but that still doesn't stop them from telling
you too many details.Taurus is an earth sign. Some astrologers say that earth
signs are base. Taureans are not base or crude, though. Taureans, of all
the earth signs, are really very high-flown and poetic. Many times they will
go on for years in a very beautiful, platonic relationship. So their primary
motive is not just to bed you down. Not at all. They can simply love people
for the love that they have for them. I would not call them a tremendously
sensual sign at all. They put out sensuality???but they are not necessarily
that sensual. It is much like talking a good story, but the action is
lacking. If you end a relationship with a Taurus, this person will stalk you
for years and years after.Taureans are obsessive about wanting to know
what caused the breakup. They are much like Arians in that way. And what
is really amazing about Taureans???and I have never seen this to fail???is that
they are not really affectionate as far as touching, but they do have a tendency
to tweak you. They will tweak and punch and pinch???they will walk up to both
cheeks and pinch them.Taureans are very aesthetic in all forms??? writing, acting,
music, and so on. You will finda lot of actors and actresses under the sign of
Taurus. And they do have a natural flair for design, colors, and that type
of thing. All earth signs have this. They ar
They are also marvelous sales people and can
sell you anything. You may even have buyer's remorse at the time you purchase
something, and yet you find yourself signing on the dotted line. They really
are the manipulators of the zodiac, but they do it in such an ingenious way
that you don't mind, at least not with a true Taurus. Taureans can be so
glib, smoothing over everything, that you're doing what they want before you
realize it. You may say, "I don't want to do this, but here I am doing it!"
Taureans are the type of individuals who will take your advice, saying,
"Thank you very much," then go and do things exactly the way they were doing it
before???but they will thank you for the advice. If you had told them about
a new shortcut that would save them time, they would say thank you and use the
old, long way instead. A Taurus can be led, but never pushed. Taureans are really
"in service" individuals??? that is, they will always let you know that they have
performed some service for you. The only tragedy here is that they will
constantly remind you of it. Even in their sexual life, they say, "Are you
pleased that I . . . . Are you thankful for it?" So they need to be in your
service???sexually or otherwise???and you should be grateful.
Taureans have a habit of asking how you like everything???a movie, dinner, tea,
or whatever. "Did you like that?" they will ask repeatedly. They also have a habit
of watching you to see if you're enjoying something, such as a play
or movie. If you're listening to a record, they watch to see if you're enjoying
it???which, of course, makes you an animated goof after a while. Ecology and all
growing things are of great concern to Taureans. This is because they are
very concerned about the earth, its growth, and what will be left here for
future generations. They are horticulturists, and they always have something
growing someplace.Neatness is very important to Taureans,too. In fact, they can
drive you crazy with their finickiness. If by chance they are not neat, then
even within the chaos, there is organization.No matter what the mess, they know
where everything is. You ask, "Where is that paper?"and they say, "In the other
room on the desk."And you're afraid to enter that room because you know a rat
will jump out and get you. So you walk into the room and yell back, "You've
got to be kidding. I can't find anything in here!" The Taurus will then come
in and say, "There it is.
Two sheets down, over to the right, under the dirty
hanky, and I found it!" So this individual knows exactly where it is. Therefore,
there must be some kind of a filing system going on there. They know where
all the trivia is in their mind, as well as all the trivia in the house.
The Taurus is not as nitpicky as the Capricorn, though. When Capricorns do
something,they will tell you the exact day of the week, what clothes they wore,
how they did it,the weather, and if it was 2:12 or 2:13 P.M. when it happened.
And you say, "Oh, yuck!" Taureans are mental note takers, and they also make
lists for themselves every day, usually posting them. Not only that, but if
you allow them to, they will make lists for you, too. They have to make sure
that everything will be all right.
Taureans will fall madly in love, and they are a very flirtatious sign. They
are not like Virgos, or some of the other signs, who can be in love with three
people, equally and all at once. But Taureans can love many???they are
very magnanimous, and they can love people collectively. "I love all of you,"
they say, and they are not kidding about it. They really love everyone.
Taureans are really not lovers of home and family, although they will keep a
home and have a family. I would not call them the primary motherhood or
fatherhood signs. They're just not. They will procreate and leave it at
that???it is there, it is all right, and they will give allegiance. But there is
no ego structure involved with the act of creation. They do not say, "This is
what I made, this child before you." To a Taurus, you will say, "Oh, your
little boy is so cute," and they will reply, "He's all right, fine, he will
do." Most of the other signs feel that this is a reflection on themselves. But
Taureans say, "Well, I did it, everyone does, big deal." They still show
great allegiance to their children, but they are simply not overwhelmed
with the fact of having them. It is a natural thing to do.
Taureans do not care much for genetics, heritage, family roots, and the like.
They view people as singularly unique, rather than a collection of traits from
their ancestors. They tend to say, "I exist, which is enough for me, and so
do you, and that is all there is."
A Taurus can get totally furious instantaneously,for no apparent reason.
You will back up, saying, "What started that, anyway?" What you do not want
to see is a Taurus go at it with a fire sign. It is unbelievably violent.
The fire sign is determined to keep the earth sign from putting a damper on them.
When a Taurus is arguing with you, it feels as though your whole identity is
in jeopardy. They can really slash you, out of pain or vulnerability, but
the cutting can go very deep. Taureans are the champions at being possessive,
beyond anything you can imagine. Yet they do not strangle you with it.
It is more a concern about your health, welfare, and safety. "Where were you?
You didn't call me, and I was worried. You said you would be home at
8:00, and it is now 8:02 P.M. What happened?" So don't leave a Taurus hanging,
walking the floor; they worry too much. I do not know where all of the
Taureans are. I ask people, "Do you know any Taureans?" They always say no.
Nobody seems to know any of them. I think they crawled under a rock, and
that is the end of them. Taureans are usually very sentimental. They never forget
birthdays, anniversaries, and so forth. First thing in the morning, they'll say,
"Do you know what day it is?" Strike up the band???it's someone's birthday!
Taureans tend to be very affluent. They make money, and they mark their
success by how much money they can generate. Every Taurus male that I know
of has become a lawyer and bought property. Even the females will buy property.
They are homesteaders. They don't care if it's a shack; they put their
sign on it: "I own this." Taureans have total tunnel vision. If they become
fixed on one thing, hell hath no fury like a Taurus, because they go forging
right ahead in the face of all obstacles. And they do not see danger
on either side; they simply have a goal and go right for it.

Physical Characteristics
Even though Libra is air and Taurus is
earth, they are both ruled by Venus. So
you will find that many Taureans are
very light-eyed, have light hair, and are
finely boned (a true Taurus, anyway).
However, they do have thick necks.
Taurus is marked by beautiful, expressive
hands. The males' hands look like
surgeons' hands, and the females look
like they should model their hands in
commercials.
Taureans are very nicely built; everything
is compact and seems to fit right
into place. They always seems to be
evenly proportioned, even
Huh?
if they're
heavy. I don't know whether they dress
like that, but they always look okay.
You are always deceived by Taureans'
weight, too, because they look slimmer
than they really are.
0" Weak eyes and weak hearing are a
problem for Taureans. Maybe that's why
they scream so much.
The Taurus nervous system is very ticklish.
"That's enough!" they will shout
when annoyed. So you don't want to
grate on their nerves very long.
Taureans are very sensitive to smells
and sounds, because they are sensoryoriented
people. Their sensory input is
brilliant; they like beautiful colors and
sounds.
TAURGUY LIVES!!! WHOOOOOHOOOOO!!! smile
I agree with some of this, a lot of it no. I have always been, and always will be proud of my children. They are my greatest accomplishment. If someone compliments the looks of my children, I thank them, tell them I think they're beautiful too, but I'm partial. I identify keenly with being a mother.
My neck is slender and long, the male Taureans is just awfully, awfully nice. Masculine definitely. Men and women definitely like hands on work. Whether it's finance, caring for a home, jobs are quite varied.
We can most definitely be base and crude. Every Tau I know likes an extremely earthy sense of humor, coupled with intelligence and wry wit.
What the F?
This woman has NOT been around a Taurus long enought to compile GOOD information.
Some of it was accurate, majority needs to go into the File 13 (trashbin).
Silly woman, Taureans rawk!!
I'd take this with a grain of salt....... at least she admitted from the onset that she despises Taureans....
A lot of our traits are misunderstood. One thing I did like was how she described Taureans concern and that we aren't suspicious or prying (paraphrasing) but are genuinely concerned...I can be like that... "you said you'd call back in ten minutes - that was an hour ago - I thought something happened to you!". I always want to know exactly what's going on so that there's no misunderstanding or confusion or I miss something, etc..... I need DETAILS. I need security and information provides secrity.
I don't really like Sylvia Brown anyhow.... I think she's so full of herself that whether she actually has psychic abilities or not she creates a story in her head about what she thinks/wants the situation to be and goes with that. She needs a bit more humility to be taken seriously.
And there you have it ladies and gents, a big "BOOOOOOOOOO" from Bull Headquarters.
yes - I AM the ultimate and last word in TAURUS Winking
Just kidding - I know you meant everyone smile
huh?
when in doubt, refer to my thread - "Taurus rules all yer signs..." >=[
actually, we're not malicious, but we're pretty righteously evil.
Venus is only a co ruler, our main planet is PanHorus/Apollyon
who is the bringer of light and also chaos and destruction.


Well I didn't have the patience to read through the whole thing...
but answer with "HUH?" ?? OMFG that is my biggest pet peeve! I can't
stand ppl who communicate slowly.
If anything I know what you're saying before you're done saying it and
answer just as quickly and expect answers back in a jiffy! I usually
cut ppl short as soon as I get the info I need.. I hate when ppl go on
and on with useless details. Urrrrgh! I want to strangle them.

Sylvia Browne is a Libran (air sign), no wonder she doesn't get us. The only common ground we have with Librans is our love of beautiful things and our ruling planet Venus... lol. She shouldn't diss what she is not able to comprehend!
Also, I know many Taureans, including my Mother and Step-father and I have never come across a malicious Taurean who holds a grudge against others. If a Taurean doesn't like you, they'll just ignore you and you'll know it. Carry on pushing buttons and you'll get trampled on ... (but that only happens after those buttons have been pushed for way too long because Taureans prefer to keep stuff in so as not to disrupt the peace).
Peace out! Winking

Bumpedy bump bump
I started to read what Sylvia Browne has to has to say and after a couple of lines it did not match at all. She doesn't get Taureans its okay few people do anyway...

Huh?


Don't make me cut and paste that to you 55 times. I'm not an Aries and I don't have the patience.
Malicious, yes. EVIL, definetly. But rightuosly or rightfully so, I don't think so.
I have only met one taurus guy who was clean with his body and home. The rest could have a special on the show hoarders with the way they can sleep on top of filth. Again, my experience with the ones I've come across.
I'm not a fan of sylvia but she hit 85% of it on the money.
LOL ^

Yeahhh EXACTLY....
My Bull often responds with a, `huh`, and a blank look... brings out me inner Banshee!
I didn't read all of this because it bored me a bit, and the writing is terrible, but I made it about 2/3's of the way through.
Very obvious to me that she was married to a Taurus and is bitter. The tone of alot if it is very childish. She definitely surprised me with her accuracy on certain details of bull behavior in relationships though...
-telling too much detail about past relationships (I do this alot)
-"So their primary motive is not just to bed you down. Not at all. They can simply love people
for the love that they have for them." (very true in my experience)
-I hardly ever take peoples' advice (cuz um, I usually know more about my situation than they do and can make a more informed decision).
-"They will tell you what they've done for you, when they did it, why they did it, and how they did it." (Kinda yeah...Especially with a Libra, because Libras can be psychotic about keeping records on who did what for who in the relationship....I've had instances where the minute the Libra felt like they had done more for me [which I had been fooled into thinking was just them being gracious or generous], they become very controlling and demanding. Its kinda shocking reminiscent of when Willy Wonka pulled Charlie into his office and showed him the fine print about not actually eating s h i t in the factory. I've found the best way to have a friendship or any relationship with a Libra ]and I think this sign is awesome] is just be super gracious and giving towards them, never go into a deficit, so you don't have to see this ugly side of them.)

(cont.)
-"Taureans have a habit of asking how you like everything???a movie, dinner, tea, or whatever. "Did you like that?" they will ask repeatedly. They also have a habit of watching you to see if you're enjoying something, such as a play or movie. If you're listening to a record, they watch to see if you're enjoying it???which, of course, makes you an animated goof after a while" (AAAAHAHAHAHAHAH!! This is amazing that she knows this. I do this and so do my other male bull friends. I just want you to enjoy stuff when I think its enjoyable stuff. And I sulk and think you suck as a person when you don't. I will make my Sag girl watch a movie I like and just watch her half the time, making sure she isnt' missing a moment).
Saying we are not actually sensual is just silly, I am a total neat freak, and the stuff about being poor parents is mean-spirited and false IMO. I demanded and received 50% custody of my daughter after the divorce (none of the typical "every other weekend" nonsense), and my life revolves around her. There was a good amount of other nonsense in there....
Anyway, she probably married/divorced a Taurus to have the scoop on some of these minor relationship-oriented details about the bull. Her ex-husbands have trashed her too, so that may be where she gets the innaccurate nonsense about us being unforgiving stalkers. One of her ex-husbands (who she had a son with) came out and said in several interviews that she's a total fraud, has no paranormal ability, and that she admitted to him that she had none. Maybe she considers exposing her s h i t a type of stalking.

Huh?


Haha love it! I do the 'huh?' thing too...
I think it's irresponsible for a professional astrologer and author to say she dislikes a particular sign as she begins a diatribe about said sign. In cases like Sylvia Browne's I automatically question the validity of all she has to say.
Rubbish.
I have people repeat things to truly understand what they are saying - like I really didn't get that the first time - did you really say that? and then - whatever - you stupid Oaf - go beat your drum elsewhere - dumb, I don't think so. We are in tune with reality and I don't even want to think about how many out there are not real - so fuck off OP and believe what you want in your shallow little world ... who the F cares - not us Bulls!
