Tips Suggestions on how and where to enjoy your
precious time off.
Taurus: Comfort is Primary
It takes a lot to get a Taurus ruffled,
but once done, the magnitude of the bull's temper can appear
full force and just about anyone in your way could bear the
brunt of it. When concerned about something like, "How on
earth am I going to pay this tax bill?" Taurus needs to be
left alone to meditate. Decision-making is careful process.
An earth sign, Taurus needs to carefully consider all the
options and weigh each for practicality. Yours is a fixed
sign, so change comes slowly and deliberately.
A highly goal-oriented person, you are able
to focus intently on whatever you do, making you efficient
and effective. Usually you display grace under pressure. However,
you are at risk of getting too close to what you are doing,
focusing too intently on one portion of the project. You could
be miss an important detail or misjudge circumstances. Also,
you could find out later that the premise which formed the
foundation of your plan was faulty, causing everything to
collapse. Remind yourself to stop and question your assumptions
now and then.
To give you better perspective and time to
unwind, you need creature comforts. Yours is one of the few
signs that would benefit from watching a little TV. Settle
into your comfy chair or curl up on the couch and tune into
a show you enjoy. You might opt to have a glass of wine and
a few warm, roasted chestnuts at your side, or a couple of
bittersweet chocolates. Fire up the wood stove or reach for
a lap blanket in winter. In summer, if weather permits, open
the window and feel the refreshing breeze. Your sign also
enjoys music, but Taurus likes it best with the proper speakers
and stereo unit. If you've set up such a system, now is the
time sit back and let music soothe your savage breast.
Since Taurus is the sign of the ultimate shopper,
cheer yourself up by buying one new item that you can wear
right away. Perhaps a nifty new raincoat, or a fashionable
new shirt? If money IS the problem (and therefore you shouldn't
be spending ANYTHING) go to a gallery or museum and be around
priceless objects of beauty. Go alone, and meander at your
own pace. Later take yourself to lunch in the museum cafe
(or nearby eatery that has a European, leisurely air) and
read your newspaper in peace.
You have other options too, Taurus. Your Venus-ruled
nature always feels soothed by greenery, so get closer to
nature by doing some gardening or landscaping. Planting petunias,
lilies and roses in the fresh air will give you quiet time
to think and make you feel better. The rich, fertile, moist
dirt in your hands will soothe you, too. Live in a city apartment?
Plant some seeds or a hyacinth bulb for your windowsill, get
a lush green tree for your living room or fresh flowers for
your desk, or just go get "lost" in your local park. Better
yet, drive to see a public estate that has gardens that are
elegant and manicured. Spend a Saturday morning or afternoon
strolling through, stop to sit down and watch the world go
by--no beeper, no cellular phone allowed.
If all else fails, try a getting the very best
massage you can afford. Taurus is highly sensual, and responds
very well to soothing touch. If you can't afford a professional--complete
with aromatic herbs to relax you--ask your girl friend or
boy friend to give you the deluxe treatment complete with
candlelight and special oils. Taurus rules the neck, the first
place your tension strikes, so be sure your lover works on
that part of you. Afterwards, cuddle up together. Taurus adores
affection. You need it now more than ever.
