The Astrological Sun Sign
Taurus 

When reading the Taurus Personality Profile below, keep in mind that it is a generalization of the various influences at work during the time The Sun was passing through that Sign of the Zodiac.

When the exact positions of the heavenly bodies, at the time of birth, are known, their influence can be further defined to add greater insight into the positive and negative effects they can produce.

In order to get this information, we recommend a Natal Chart be developed specifically for an individual. Real accuracy is only obtained by charting the exact positions of the heavenly bodies, at the precise month, day, time, city, or longitude and latitude, an individual was born.

This information provides an enlightening "specific" Personal Profile, which can be studied, referred to, and acted upon, throughout the individuals life.

Taurus Characteristics

This sign of Taurus governs the neck and throat of the Grand Man, or Microcosm. It is a fixed, noc­turnal, feminine, vernal, earthy sign, and is the positive pole of the Earth Triplicity. The higher attributes are secretion and will.

The Sun enters this sign each year on or about April 21, and departs from the sign on or about May 21. The Sun on entering the sign should be given six days before coming into full touch and action with the influence of the sign. A person born between the dates of the 21st and 27th of April would not receive the full central results of the sign's individ­uality, as he would be born when The Sun was on the edge of the sign. This is known as "The Cusp." Its nature and impulses partake of the sign The Sun has just passed through or out from, and the native will also partake of the attributes of the sign of the Zodiac in which The Moon is located at the time of birth.

This is a very hard sign to overcome.

Those born under it are fearless and kind, and very magnanimous when not irri­tated. They are generous, and apt to load themselves with the burdens and sorrows of others. Money has no special value in their minds except for the good it will do. They have no wish to hoard, and are always ready to divide. They prefer to help with money rather than by the expenditure of time or sympathy. They have great power of concentration, and make the best metaphysical healers. By the power of their will they can pro­ject their thought to great distances and hit the mark. They are exceedingly fond of the good things of the earth, and like to spread feasts for their friends.

These Taurus individuals are sometimes guided far too much by externalities and appear­ances. Their whole physical nature seems to grow out of the five animal senses. However, when they develop above the sensual appe­tites, they are most powerful mentally and spiritually, making apt writers, and quick, brilliant speakers. They are very zealous and sanguine in any line of thought they may take up.

They often become leaders, and readily adapt them­selves to the time and the society which calls them into action. They can mem­orize with the greatest ease. When friendly, they are very loyal, and re­main so as long as they are permitted to rule and have their own way. When they become enemies they are the most bitter and relentless of the whole twelve signs.

Almost all persons born under Taurus possess some kind of physical medium-ship, and are quite apt to be found among Spiritualists who deal in phenom­ena. Their clairvoyant gifts are usually very marked. They can even feel the minds of other people and know their thoughts.

Taurus rules the neck, and that part of the brain that governs the sex prin­ciples. Those born under this sign may have full faces, wide noses and mouths, shining flesh inclined to reddishness, large shoulders, and are generally of powerful build.
