Dr.Nikki's Zodiac Signs:
Taurus - the Bull

April 20th to May 19th
Taurus, represented by the Bull, is the second sign of
the Zodiac.   As the second in the wheel, Taurus is
the stabilizer.  Normally quiet, affectionate and
patient, Bull’s make great friends.  Determined and
practical they appreciate creature comforts
and will do much to ensure them in their lives.  

As the symbolic animal implies a Taurean can become “bull-
headed” and stubborn.  One of the ways to stir up the
stubbornness of a Bull is to throw a bunch of change their
way.  Not only uncomfortable with it, the Taurus personality
can be quite resistant to change.    

The positive energy of the Bull has been realized
throughout the millennia.  It is believed that other than the Sun or Fire, the Bull
was one of the first sacred beings to Man.  Whether jumping the bull to show
power; fighting the bull in a ring to show courage, daring and strength (as they
still do in Spain); or using the Bull as a symbol of an upward trend in the Stock
Market, Bull has long been associated with power, strength and wealth.

Although strong, Bulls can be plodding and prefer to move at their own pace.  
The high-energy Bull personality is capable of drawing on personal reserves of
strength which others find nearly unbelievable.

Like the animals for which their sign is named, Taurus people can be either
gentle and docile (like the happy contented Bull chewing on some nice spring
shoots – Fernidad in the field of daisies) or the Bull can turn on you and try to
gouge you with it’s horns.  

Ruled by the Planet Venus (named after the Roman Goddess of beauty and the
arts, pleasure and, of course, the emotions) Bull’s tend to prefer the finer things
in life.  Your friend with the most comfortable feeling home when you walk in the
door is the home of a Taurus.  It’s almost a sure bet that your friend with the
most comfortable couch is a Bull.  

That’s not to say they are afraid of hard work.  Nicknamed “The Maintainer” in
newer astrology definitions, Taurus people are more than willing to work to
maintain a lifestyle acceptable to their personal tastes.  With security so very
important for Taurus to be happy, they will do much to ensure it for themselves
and those they care for.  

People born on this sign are great career builders, especially in the area of
financial services such as banking and insurance.  Tending to love the warmth
and the sunshine the Bull does well in the fields of agriculture or horticulture.  

Taurus rules the neck and throat – this is shown by the number of professional
“crooners” or singers born in this sign.   

If you’re a Taurean looking for love, the best sign for you to look under is that
of either Virgo or Capricorn.  These folks will understand and appreciate your
perchance for the comfortable.  Beware the Leo or Aquarius personality unless
you have overcome the natural tendency to dislike change, because change is
so important to either of those signs.  Opposites can attract with Taurus the
dependable paired with Scorpio the idealistic as long as you allow for individual
space.
