The Cosmic Collection: TAURUSYour Taurus Lifestyle & Well-being Profi le

Finding Your Center: Your Well-being According To Your Sun SignWell Being is far more than just physical health; it involves feeling centered and strong on emotional and spiritual levels as well. You may have noticed that feeling physically unhealthy or even just low-energy can throw off the balance of your entire system, and the same is true of emotional depression and spiritual disconnectedness. Thus, achieving a state of wellbeing depends on feeling

balanced in all areas of our lives. Fortunately, the Zodiac holds keys to creating that harmoniously centered sense of stability. Based on your Sun sign’s Element along with certain other specifi cs of your sign, you can learn vital ways of promoting a greater and more integrated sense of thriving in body, mind and soul.

The Earth SignsNaturally patient, grounded and possessing strong endurance, Earth signs often push through injuries or illnesses, even when they shouldn’t. It’s important for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn to live within some type of routine when it comes to getting regular exercise, food, sleep and downtime. Capricorns are especially likely to ignore bodily cues like hunger and fatigue, or emotional ones like loneliness, in favor of maintaining a jam-packed schedule; but all three Earth signs might push themselves too hard, simply because they can. Flexibility, balance and stretching are especially important for these

signs, so include them in your workouts to help avoid stiff joints and aching muscles.

Holistic health cannot be achieved without paying due attention to emotional wellbeing. Many Earth signs tend toward obstinacy and resistance to change, so make slow, deep, conscious breathing a daily practice to encourage the release of stubbornness and tension. Deep breathing also helps open your mind to new structures, experiences and perspectives. Practicing yoga or stretching daily can also help keep your body and outlook as fl exible as possible.

DietAnother important aspect of wellbeing is diet. Of the three Earth signs, Taurus is most susceptible to lethargy and overeating, but Virgo and Capricorn can experience these as well. Earth signs tend to have the slowest metabolisms of the Zodiac, so strive to stick to the rule of moderation. Smaller

portions help keep your weight under control, along with your blood sugar and other physical factors. For optimal health, include plenty of vegetables, leafy greens, grains, healthful fats such as avocados and olive oil, and broth-based soups in your diet.

Associated Body PartsEach Zodiac sign is associated with certain body parts, and should be aware of the potential for related illness. Taurus is associated with the throat and neck; protect these by drinking warm tea and wearing scarves when the weather is cool. Tea with lemon juice and honey can provide eff ective treatment for laryngitis or a sore throat. Tension headaches often originate in the neck; if you’re prone to these, try deep breathing or apply an ice pack to the base of the neck at the fi rst sign of pain. Since Virgo is associated with the nervous and digestive systems, probiotics are especially important for this sign’s digestion. Be

sure to eat yogurt regularly, or fermented foods such as kombucha or miso soup, and steer clear of foods that upset the system, such as greasy or heavy items. Meditation, deep breathing and regular exercise can all help soothe anxiety, as can building a support network of close friends and confi dants. Finally, Capricorn is associated with the knees, teeth, joints and bones, so get plenty of calcium through sesame seeds, dairy products and dark, leafy greens. Also be sure to visit your dentist regularly, and keep your bones strong through weight-bearing exercises like jogging or walking.

Lasting HappinessSome might think the sign of the Bull has a corner on lasting happiness, since this sign is all about pleasures like great food, wonderful friends and a beautiful, comfortable home. But again, deep, inner fulfi llment is about more than momentary pleasures and creature comforts. For Taurus, the key ingredients also include working hard at a meaningful occupation — since it’s all too easy

for you to self-indulge to the point of laziness — and having loving friends who can shake you out of the deliciously comfortable ruts you’re famous for slipping into. Rather than indulging your preference for routine, try switching things up from time to time. You’ll fi nd that doing so creates a fresh perspective along with a wonderful sense of anticipation and joy.

Major Character ChallengesHave you ever encountered a stubborn Taurus or a brassy Leo? How about a sneaky Scorpio or a playboy Sagittarius? Do any of these undesirable characteristics ring a bell? Each sign has a positive side as well as a negative one. The not so nice characteristics are the ones we can grow and learn from, particularly when it’s someone else who’s rubbing us the wrong way. Once we gain an understanding of where someone is coming from it’s easier to have empathy and understanding. For now, let’s take a fun poke at your sign and their not so charming traits!

The Bull is the most stubborn of the zodiac. Once they set their mind on something there’s no turning back or turning them around or nitpicking them or prodding– even an inch. They’ll just keep plodding along until they get to where they want to go. Heaven forbid anyone who gets in their way as they’ll be trampled under that sheer force

of will. Rigidity is their middle name.

Taurus rules money and possessions and they like to have a lot of both. There’s nothing wrong with that except they’d sell their granny to the old age home just to make a buck. They are self-indulgent and snobby and prefer the good life – only the best will do and certainly no cheap imitations - well maybe as gifts for others but certainly not for them!

Bulls tend to think of themselves as a food critic and will gorge in 5 star restaurants on a constant basis because many of them can aff ord it. They like routine and can get very upset if something in their daily life changes. Comfort and security are what makes them tick. They are the ultimate snob and will look down upon others if their standards are not met.

Sometimes, this sign can be quite dull and

certainly not the life of the party. They’re a stick in the mud but that’s just fi ne by them. Anyway, who wants to be bothered partying all night when you can spend your time at home counting your money, tallying up your net worth and sorting through your designer clothes – nothing is more exciting!

The biggest turn on for Taurus is lying on satin sheets, ringing a bell for Alfred the butler to bring the fi nest champagne and chocolate dipped strawberries. This will be followed by a luxurious massage and bubble bath, of course attended by Alfred.

Your Stress Profi lePsychologists and personal trainers off er many suggestions to help people cope with stress. Nevertheless, these techniques are not useful for everyone. It is possible to use the techniques, but you must know which ones are best suited for your sign. Astrology can help you identify diff erent aspects of your personality, while providing resources to heal negative traits. Whether it is to pay karmic debt or learn a lesson in this life, you need solid methods to alleviate stress and anxiety. This information will allow you to cut your stress in half. By using these methods in combination with anything you have, you can begin to heal the mind, body, and soul.

It is diffi cult for Taurus people to cope with stress

and change. These individuals are typically resistant to change, which is natural for all Fixed signs which are also Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. As a Taurus, you need to make a slow and conscious eff ort to cut your stress. Daily practices must help you release tension and stubborn characteristics. One of the best techniques to cut your stress in half is breathing exercises. As an earth sign, you have the natural capability to follow a strict routine related to sleeping, exercise, and food intake. Since Taurus is associated with the neck and throat, you must keep that area warm and functional. It would be ideal to consume tea with honey to keep your throat in good condition. Also, resting your voice when you’re tired is another way to help with relaxation.

Your Parenting Profi leAnyone who has ever had a child knows parenting is one of the most rewarding jobs there is — but also one of the toughest. The way we raise our children is inevitably a combination of strategies learned from our own families of origin along with those techniques we pick up from books, magazines and websites devoted to parenting advice. Our natural instincts go into it along with the social, cultural and religious traditions we are a part of, whether by birth or by choice. What is your approach to raising a child? Is your style your own, or are you carrying on patterns and rituals you learned from your own parents? Chances are, you’re enacting a combination of both — and everything you do regarding your child is fi ltered through your Sun sign, which has everything to do with how you comfort, nurture, teach and discipline the young person you’re in charge of.

Lucky Taurus naturally possesses one of the most

important gifts of parenting: patience. When your child acts out, makes a mistake or is simply a little slow to understand a new rule or concept, you have what it takes to hang in there and stay calm as you keep working toward common ground. You’re also highly aff ectionate, giving your child plenty of hugs, kisses and affi rmative words. You might also nurture with food; in fact, your child may grow up knowing you’re a pushover. You want your family to enjoy life, so you tend to say “yes” a lot more often than “no,” even when it comes to sweet treats and other things that may not be in your child’s best interests. Discipline may not be your strong point; nor is staying fi rm when you’ve set a limit that your child is trying to cross. These are your parenting challenges to work on — but knowing the Bull, you’ll put in as much eff ort as it takes, practicing your skills until you’ve got all the wrinkles ironed out.

Your Pet Profi le: What Pet Should You Adopt?According to popular lore, dogs are man’s best friend — but while many people adore the devotion and companionship of a puppy, not everyone wants to deal with muddy paws, slobbery licks or begging at the dinner table. The same goes for cats: Some fi nd them beautiful and intriguing, while others see them as little more than snooty sneeze-factories. So which furry, feathered or scaly animal could be your best friend? Your Zodiac sign is a great place to fi nd ideas. Our signs impart unique qualities and characteristics that help shape not only our personalities, but also our preferences. Your Sun sign can reveal the type of animal that might make your very best companion — your own, personal best friend.

A sweet, fuzzy mutt who lazes at your feet on Sunday mornings... A soft, snuggly kitty whose purring body vibrates under your caresses... These animals match up best with tactile, comfort-seeking Taurus. Your best pet is a true and constant companion — no aloof or escapist species for you. If you love cats, get yours while it’s still a kitten, so it can learn to be the cuddly sidekick you crave instead of the distant, unsociable creature some cats become. An intelligent, hardworking breed of dog, such as a Border Collie, appeals to your industrious side. You also might enjoy working with farm animals, whether as a large-breed veterinarian or by volunteering at a local farm, so you can rub shoulders with the bovines that symbolize your sign.

Your Friendship Profi le: Who To Keep Close At HeartAstrology tells us so much about ourselves; the planets in their orbits refl ect our basic life forces. They infl uence our characteristics by their relationship to each other, as measured from the moment of our birth. These relationships between the planets, their positions in relation to the place of our birth tell us of their expression in the spheres of life depicted in the astrological houses.

Many mistakenly think that is all there is to Astrology, simply watching constellations process through the Zodiac, but there is much, much more. The Zodiac is a 360 degree circle divided into 12 sections, each associated with certain characteristics based on qualities oan the elements Fire, Air, Water and Earth.

Each of these four elements has three states named Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable. Those of us with an emphasis on Cardinal signs tend to be leaders or initiators, they’re goal oriented, never taking their eyes off of the prize. Those of us with an emphasis on fi xed signs tend to be “status quo” people. They’re effi cient, good organizers, tending to react to situations and not to initiate them. Those with mutable emphasis love change; they seek the new and have no love

for the “status quo.”

So with 12 Zodiac signs each belonging to an element, each in one of the three states gives us an infi nite number of personalities and characteristics. Each of us, holding specifi c aspects of each, so there is no pure Taurus or Sagittarius. With the factors of heredity and infl uences of the states and elements two people born into Aries can seem as diff erent as night and day. The date, time and places of their births, separating them, giving them, diff erent relationships to the diff erent planets.

So which signs should you be friends with?

Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign, ruled by Venus, the planet of love. Taurus is symbolized by the bull, like the bull they are deliberate and plodding, relaxed seeking pleasure and comfort, but willing to work hard to achieve. Their calm relaxed nature can lead those around them to forget, the bull has a hot temper. They love stability and they are in love with love and with beautiful things. Their patient nature sometimes leads them to stay in dysfunctional relationships out of habit or a sense

of duty. In a healthy relationship, Taurus can be harmonious aff ectionate and dynamic. A Taurus

would love life in the country especially with another Earth sign such as Virgo or Capricorn.

Your Beauty Profi leWe all want to look our best, but enhancing your natural beauty is about more than just your coloring, hair type or style preferences. If you want to jazz up your looks in a unique and natural way, try incorporating the traits of your astrological sign. Each of the twelve Sun signs is associated with certain colors and body parts along with its own element and quality. If you pay special attention to these elements when choosing your makeup and hairstyle and putting your look together, you can play up your sign’s best strengths. Read on to fi nd out more about the specifi c colors, hair and makeup tips, and health information you need to know to look your very best.

As a Fixed Earth sign, Taurus looks best in earth tones that support a natural, grounded approach

to beauty. Choose long-lasting hair and makeup products that continue to do their job throughout the day without smudging or falling fl at. Also, look for products with organic or all-natural ingredients; using plant-based products will support your sign’s connection with the earth. If you wear nail polish, choose simple colors that refl ect those found in nature, such as warm browns, sky blue, grass green, or the dusky rose of an incredible sunset. Play up your sign’s body parts — your ears, throat and neck — with gorgeous dangling earrings that feature natural materials such as silver, turquoise and other chunks of stone. Be sure also to protect your throat in cooler months with a scarf, to help you avoid illnesses of the throat and neck, such as laryngitis or bronchitis.

Your Vacation Profi leIf you’ve ever returned from a vacation feeling more exhausted than when you left, you know the importance of choosing the right destination. For instance, the rush of energy in a big city might be invigorating for one person, but overwhelming for another. Plan a custom vacation that will balance and recharge you by looking to the elemental association of your sun sign.

The fi xed earth energy of Taurus is the essence of stability. Symbolized by the bull, Taurus is capable of solid endurance and great patience, but vastly prefers relaxing in comfort to toiling in the fi eld! You work hard, so on your vacation it’s alright to indulge your craving for luxury by choosing a destination spa weekend, or even splurging on fi rst-class airfare and a month in an Italian villa.

Your Diet & Fitness Profi leWhether you’re setting a resolution for the new year or simply realizing that it’s time to take charge of your health, there is no time like the present to launch a new and improved diet and fi tness regimen. But mere willpower isn’t enough. Some say a failure to plan is tantamount to planning to fail — but you won’t make that mistake. Set yourself up for success by gathering the information you need before you embark on your journey toward wellness. What’s one great place to begin? With the Zodiac — specifi cally, your own Sun sign. Read on to gain insight into your astrological strengths to harness, pitfalls for your sign to avoid, and the very best ways to get your health on track.

Hardworking, dedicated, sensual Taurus has excellent physical and mental endurance, but you also tend toward self-indulgence. Your

path toward wellness is all about getting that body moving and fi nding healthful meals that don’t skimp on fl avor. Endurance sports, such as running or swimming, are right up your alley. Since speed isn’t exactly your thing, you may never win a 5K race, but you have it in you to complete a marathon — you’re a champ at putting one foot in front of the other until you reach the fi nish line. You might also enjoy Spinning classes, where you can enjoy a group dynamic while cycling as fast (or slow) as you please. As for diet, your love of rich, sweet, creamy indulgences can be your downfall; seek out recipes that incorporate spices and other low-calorie, dynamic fl avors to engage your tastebuds. And don’t be afraid to reward yourself with the occasional treat that also has health benefi ts, such as a square of dark chocolate or a half-glass of red wine.

Your Birthstone Profi le & Healing AbilityPeople have valued gemstones for their healing properties for centuries. Crystals, especially those of the quartz variety, are in widespread use today for treating everything from physical to emotional to spiritual issues. But precious and semiprecious stones also have benefi cial qualities. When used with care and respect, these mineral beauties can enhance our health,

our relationships and our wellbeing.

Most people are familiar with the gemstone associated with their birth month, but certain stones are also associated with the Signs of the Zodiac. Read about your Zodiac Sign and its corresponding gemstone, and read on to learn about the healing properties of your personal astrological gemstone healer.

Sapphire:Sturdy Taurus is thrown off by anything that undermines that innate sense of stability, so

use sapphire to ground you when dealing with nausea, vertigo, or motion or altitude sickness.

This gemstone also helps increase your sense of calm, hope and happiness when life is hectic or overwhelming. If negative thoughts creep in, sapphire helps turn your mind toward the positive

once again. Finally, when seeking truth and transformation, especially through a meditation practice, use this gemstone to help you reach your goal.

Your Spring Cleaning Profi leIt’s spring! The air is warmer, tiny buds are beginning to unfurl on bare tree branches, green shoots are poking up through the cold earth, and the world is fi lled with a fresh sense of renewal. It’s no wonder that, as the landscape changes around us, becoming more vibrant, lush and beautiful after the monochromatic tones of winter, we’re fi lled with a corresponding urge to update our living spaces. Spring cleaning is universal: It’s all about clearing the clutter from our homes and doing a top-to-bottom deep-clean, scouring all the nooks and crannies we’ve overlooked all winter long. And there is a defi nite link between our physical surroundings and our inner emotions; setting our homes to rights makes us feel more focused, confi dent and optimistic. But the actual process of cleaning is far more individual, based on the particulars of your Sun sign. What’s your cleaning style? How can you maximize your natural strengths from the Zodiac and avoid the pitfalls common to your sign?

Practical Taurus takes a slow and steady approach to spring cleaning. You go about it in a simple, step-by-step manner, fi rst assessing what needs to be done, then getting the various tasks in order in your mind, and fi nally starting on the most reasonable or pressing one. Since you have excellent endurance and follow-through, you’re sure to complete the job, even if it takes an entire weekend or longer to get your living space into ship shape. Your challenge with spring cleaning comes in when you’re in a lazy, self-indulgent mood and just don’t want to commit to that level of hard work. But this should be an easy issue to manage; you’re too sensible to let the mess spiral out of control for long. Since you see the value in keeping your home clean and organized, sooner or later, you’re sure to make it happen. If you’re having a hard time getting motivated, promise yourself a reward, such as your favorite sweet treat, for a job well done.

Your Psychic Ability Profi leEveryone has some degree of innate psychic ability, but diff erent signs approach the psychic world with diff erent attitudes and talents. How psychic is your sign?

Your Psychic Talent: Psychometry – having a physical object to hold helps you enormously in picking up psychic impressions.

You take a step by step approach to psychic development and you’re cautious about protecting yourself from psychic attack. Very grounded, your kindness is an asset in psychic work and your determination to learn puts you ahead of your peers.

About the Author KELLI FOXKelli was fi rst drawn to astrology during her childhood in Sydney, Australia. As early as eight years of age, she began recording birth dates and Sun Signs for anyone willing to share. Kelli’s formal astrological studies began at the College of Humanistic Astrology. This led to her professional accreditation with multiple organizations including: National Council for Geocosmic Research (CA NCGR IV), Professional Member of the American Federation of Astrologers (PMAFA), International Society for Astrological Research (ISAR C.A.P.), and the Federation of Australian Astrologers (FAA).

Kelli is also the fi rst member of the Founders’ Circle of Kepler College, and is an emeritus member of its board of trustees. Kepler College is the fi rst college in the western hemisphere authorized to issue BA, AA and MA degrees in Astrological Studies.

In 2004, with Neptune on her descendant and transiting Pluto conjunct her natal Moon, she had a near death medical experience that left her in a coma and on life support for two weeks. Kelli was fortunate to survive and return from the other side. With new found life, her passion to share the knowledge of astrology with people everywhere was reignited.

Kelli views astrology as a universal language through which the unique elements that make each of us who we are can be discussed, understood and developed. She sees her role as bringing this ancient science to our modern-day life through current technologies — from web sites to mobile phones and video screens.
