All about Taurus
All those rumors about Taureans being stubborn? They're true. But lest you begin to think that stubbornness is a bad trait, consider the way people talk about those who don't stick to what they believe in: wishy-washy, scattered, distracted. Isn't stubborn better? Of course, there are other words that suit the average Taurus quite well and have a nicer ring to them: focused, grounded and stable, to name just a few. In other words, if there's an important task to be accomplished, you'll want a Bull for the job.
But there's a lot more to that Taurean nature than the ability to make a decision and keep to it -- innate sensuality, for example. These folks are the touchmeisters of the zodiac; so if it smells, tastes, looks, sounds or feels good, they're there. Just step into the home of the nearest Taurus for ample proof. You may not find the Mona Lisa on the living room wall or a bottle of Dom in the fridge, but you'll come across something that looks just as elegant and tastes just as good -- and you're in luck, too, because the Bull is more than happy to share, as long as the company is of equal quality.
When it comes to relationships, in fact, the one thing a Taurus absolutely insists on is that they have something to share. They're very big on getting a return on their investments, no matter what they've invested or how -- and that goes for time, energy and resources. If you're involved with a Taurus on a one-on-one basis, it's not just unbelievably pleasurable -- it's also a tremendous compliment! With Venus as its ruler, this sign settles for nothing less than the best of everything; if a Taurus isn't sure their partner answers that description on many levels, they wouldn't waste their time. So if you're a Bull yourself, those thoughts might go through your mind every time you and your sweetie get into an argument that leaves you trying to decide whether or not to walk out and stay gone. You know that you wouldn't be with them for this long if they weren't the best -- just be true to yourself, and your decisions are sure to be as solid as you are.

Fri, April 25, 2008 - 8:32 PMThe Second House (Ruled by Taurus)
The sign Taurus has a natural association with the Second House, making this a great time to deepen your knowledge of this important area of life. Traditionally, this is the house of income and planets; therefore, this section of your birth chart says something about how you make money and how you go about contributing to your material stability.
For example, those with transformative Pluto in the Second House may equate power with money or may amass great amounts of money. Wherever Pluto is located is an area where we meet issues of power and where we feel a great need to direct and control our lives. Those with spiritual Neptune in the Second House may have difficulty determining the value of their work-product. This is a placement well known for people under-charging for their services or those who have a difficult time asking for a raise. On the other hand, some with this placement have a natural sense of the law of attraction, and money shows up just at the time it's needed! Jupiter in this house may indicates that the person may be a big spender or possibly have an innate optimism when it comes to finances, which in turn tends to help them make money. Saturn here shows a hard worker. Since Saturn shows where we're meeting challenges and where we need to learn our lessons, these folks do well when they address their financial fears and contribute to their material stability.
When learning astrology, it's often helpful to put sentences together of planet, sign and house. So, when analyzing the meaning of planets in the Second House, go to your keyword list of planetary meanings and match them up with the themes of money and income. Here is an example: Mercury in Aquarius in the Second House. I make money (Second House) through communicating or writing (Mercury) for groups and organizations that support humanitarian causes (Aquarius). That reads like a perfect match for a grant writer! Or this could be a great placement for a motivational speaker.

Re: All about Taurus (The Bull!)
Sun, April 27, 2008 - 10:13 AMI have to admit, the second house... I can barely wrap my head around it... which is sad because I have Mars in Cancer in the Second house. The best I can come up with is that the way I make money is based on my moods!
