Zodiac Sign - Taurus

Astrology has always been an interesting topic. Whether you follow it religiously, or read your horoscope for fun, there is a definite entertaining aspect to it. Although, even reading your sign as entertainment, there are some attributes that seem more than coincidental.

Taurus is the second of the Zodiac, represented by the Bull, the same Bull that was the basis for the myth of the Cretan Bull. The Taurean holds security in high esteem, in every sense of the word. Physical and mental security enables the creature comforts those born under Taurus desire. Enjoying the finer things in life means Taureans are accused of being materialistic.

Seen as one of the Fixed signs, Taurus enjoys stability, and displays determination and persistence and seen as powerful and willing enough to achieve beyond what is expected. On the flipside, this willingness can come across as single-minded, inflexible and even stubborn. Those born under a Fixed sign often fight to prove their right.

Venus rules over Taurus. Like the other Venus-ruled sign, Libra, Taurus seeks balance, harmony, and beauty. Associating with the urge to sympathize with, and unite, people, venus somewhat allows a mix of romanticism and a hedonistic desire for pleasure and sensuality. Though, there's a longing for any kind of partnership. Be it romantic or business-based.

With their feet firmly on the ground, the Taurean acquires all kind of knowledge. With said knowledge, they can go out with a single-minded drive to achieve. Thus, Taureans are the most adaptable in regards to work and careers. Alas, they have proven best at creativity, and anything pertaining to it.

A negative side to Taurus is the hot-headed temperament. Another is their need for comfort does come across as selfish and materialistic. Despite being considered as a generous friend, the Taurean sees to their own security first before anyone else's.

With all this desire for comfort, it's easy to assume that Taurus is an Earth sign. Keeping level-headed comes easy for Earth signs. With their feet firmly on the ground, they are considered to be the salt of the earth. To note, Earth signs can be related to creation and making things grow.

Now, if you're a Taurean looking for romance, look no further than other Earth signs. Virgo and Capricorn share the qualities of being an Earth sign. The mutual level-headedness keeps an even keel. Also the Water signs of Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer shall bode well with you, also. The Water provides some mobility for the Earth.

So, it seems that Taurus brings security and comfort to those around. Both physical and mental, the Taurean brings stability to the table. Though, that's not before they have some to their selves first.

Zodiac Sign Gardening

Gardening by the Signs of the Zodiac

The first farmers were probably the founders of astrology. Their crops responded to the signs in the heavens and this became a easy method of ensuring good harvests. Certain seasons brought changing conditions which would either help or hinder the crops. Each season presented different patterns in the constellations and these patterns would evolve into astrology as we know it today.

Fine tune your Garden

Gardening by the signs of the Zodiac is a method of fine tuning your gardening efforts. Planting, growing and maintaining your garden by the constellations or signs of the Zodiac and the Phases of the Moon enhances the effects of nature on your crops.

Combined effects of the Moon and the Signs of the Zodiac in your Garden

The full effects of gardening by the phases of the moon are heightened when the moon is in the right Zodiac Sign. Certain signs of the zodiac have unique benefits on particular plants. Leafy plants do best in the water signs. The water signs are Cancer, Pisces, and Scorpio, and are the correct signs for planting above ground, leafy annuals. The Earth signs, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, are also very fertile and good for planting all other above ground crops. Root bearing crops do best in the earth signs. As the waxing moon passes through one of the earth signs plant root crops such as carrots and potatoes. This is also a good time for transplanting, as this period promotes subsurface root development.

Note:

Plants which produce their fruits above ground should be planted during the waxing moon. Plants that yield their produce below ground (root crops) should be planted in the waning moon.

Fertile and Barren Zodiac Signs

The Fertile Signs

Planting and re-planting is best done during a waxing moon, in an earth or water sign. These signs are signs of fertility. The fertile zodiac signs are Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, Libra, Tarus and Capricorn

The Barren Signs

Garden maintenance, soil improvements and pruning are best done when the moon is waning and in an air or fire sign. These zodiac signs are the barren signs of the zodiac. They are Aries, Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius and Aquarius.
