Taurus, you often begin where others leave off. You are strong, persevering, warm hearted and gentle. Many Taurus' have lovely voices and an innate sense of beauty and charm. You are well liked and despite your comfort-oriented ways that others sometimes view as lazy, you manage to accomplish and attract many of the finer things in life. You can be stubborn and possessive, requiring that many born into this sign develop the quality of detachment. Material matters are often of great importance, mostly as a symbolic representation of physical security. These children can be vast collectors of whatever they deem 'valuable.' The Bull as your totem represents the tremendous amount of will power at your disposal. The saying, "you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink", applies doubly to the Bull. He/she can be coaxed but never forced. This is a sign that needs time to adjust and get accustomed to new ideas. They become flustered if not given enough time to assimilate. Taurus is usually not easily angered but when they are, it can take them awhile to cool down. Do not try to argue with the Bull, if will be of no use. This is a sign that loves peace but once it has made up its mind about a course of action there is no stopping them.
The year ahead for those born into Taurus, or with it rising in the east at birth, provides opportunities to explore new horizons, whether through travel, education or spiritual endeavors. You will meet individuals who inspire you to think and imagine possibilities that prior to now you may not have believed attainable. 2008 is the year to move beyond self-created limitations and accomplish something your heart has always yearned for. You may find a long held talent emerges for greater self-expression demanding discipline and commitment to achieve the accomplishments and recognition now possible. You may decide to take a calculated risk in love and / or professional matters this year. Due to your profound attachment to security you do not make changes easily but the seeds of long-term transformation are being planted. Children or lovers may demand more of your resourceful energies making it necessary revise your expectations in this area of your life. Sentimental attachments could actually hold you back from moving into the future you have hoped for. Innovation and inspiration are key concepts in relation to the world at large. Travel is highly favored and opens your life up to new options.
