The Sun is our basic identity, and represents self-realization. When you are asked, "Who are you?", and you've passed your basic statistics and occupation, your answers will be a description of your Sun. The Sun also represents our overall vitality. The Sun directs us, and can be considered "the boss" of our chart.
Sun in Taurus
(The Sun is in Taurus from approximately April 20 to May 20, depending on the year).
There is something very solid about Taurus natives, no matter what the rest of their charts say about them. Though they are dependable most of the time, this generally shows itself more in habit than in outright helpfulness.
Taurus natives are sensual folk--and this includes sex, but extends to pleasures in all areas: they delight in the sensual pleasures of food, a comfortable blanket, a richly colored aquarium to look at, the smell of flowers or spring rain, pleasing melodies coming from their stereos, and so forth. Some might even say they live through their senses more than most.
When Taurus natives work, they work hard. They do it with a steadiness that may rarely be considered quick--rather it's a dependable, plodding, and steady effort that has its payoffs. Security is immensely important to Taurus--some of them actively seek wealth, while others are content to be "comfortable". The Taurus definition of "comfortable" may not be exactly the same as the rest of the signs, but comfort is definitely a driving force.
Although hard-working, their fixed and comfort-loving nature sometimes makes them appear lazy. This is only because they separate work and leisure so well. When they work, they work hard, and when they play, they don't really "play" as such...they relax. A Solar Taurus who has kicked his or her feet up is rooted there--you'd be hard-pressed to get them to move. On a mental level, you'll likely have the same problem. Taureans stick with things and ideas, and therein lies one of the reasons why they are known for their stubbornness. Taurus is a fixed sign, and they have a fair measure of tradition and steadiness in their make-up that keeps them rooted.
The possessiveness associated with Taurus shows up in all areas of life in some way. Taurus likes to own things (and sometimes people). A nice home, a piece of land (this can be modest), a paid-off car, that aquarium mentioned earlier, a couple pets, maybe a solid business...In love and relationship, there is an earthy kind of possessiveness that may be considered jealousy by some, but there is actually quite a difference between being possessive and being jealous. Taurus natives are rarely jealous and petty. They do, however, think of the people they love as theirs--it adds to their sense of security.
Analysis
Sensual is right. I just like nice things. That first paragraph is pretty right on. The second as well. Those that know me, know that money is a (little too much of a) driving force in my life. Wanting wealth in order to give me the piece of mind that I desire. I want to be able to work at McDonalds and be able to make my bills if needed. And at this point, I probably could, but I'm working towards removing the probably.
The next paragraph is true as well. I definitely do work hard when I work and there is work to be done. I have been known to forget to eat and even hold off going to the bathroom until I fix a current problem. My playing is usually consisted of having a nice glass of wine and practicing the guitar. While some may think I "play" cards, I consider that a form of work that I really enjoy, but I do treat it as work. I don't really like to just sit there and bake in the sun though. And there is definitely a perception out there that I can be lazy, but when things need to get done, I can guarantee you I am far from lazy. As far as stubborn goes. Yeah. I was told that I believed everything that I read and then stuck with that idea. It's not that I believed everything, it is just that I agreed with what I read, formulated an opinion, and then stuck with that idea. I'm trying to be a lot more open to different ideas. I really am!
The last paragraph is true, but I am not really possessive over people and while I was jealous in my MUCH younger years, I have very much moved past that. Everything else though, yup. That's me. While people say that they write sign stuff as vague as possible for it to apply to most people, lots of these traits are pretty extreme and I don't see it applying to many of my friends at all. And so far, both my sun and rising sign have had some pretty extreme and accurate traits. Blunt? Materialistic? Hard working, but can be seen as lazy? Big talk, small follow through? It may be a coincidence, but my natal mapping gets worse. Next time we do the moon.
