IMAGES & WORDS - WEEK 179 - ASTROLOGY

I am born late in April, so is an early Taurus. Someone, once said that I could be both , Aries and Taurus, which greatly peed me off as I know I am so typically a Taurus.

Earthbound and stubborn, non-materialistic, gardener and nurturer, animal lover and loyal friend.

"Modern astrology equates Taurus with fixity, fertility, fruitfulness, and security- all energies that relate in some way to things that grow in the earth. While not every Taurus is a gardener, it is true that their lives closely parallel the cycles of nature. In the Taurean spring, it is important which seeds are planted, as well as making sure that the right thing is planets at the right time. One cannot plant flowers in the dead of winter. The seedlings must be watered properly and given the right amount of light, food and nurturing. Such tasks are required of Taureans, and during spring cycle their proficiency at sustaining the young plant, waiting, and watching its growth patiently, is more important than the expectation of results. The summer cycle is associated with an ease of existence which many Taureans try to extend beyond its normal time frame-that of sitting back and basking in the richness of the beauty around them, observing the vibrancy of colour and the abundance with which nature has rewarded them for their careful planting and nurturing. By Ariel Guttman and Kenneth Johnson, Mythic Astrology
