With the Sun in Taurus, you are patient, practical and persistent. Although you seem quiet and mild-mannered on the outside, you nonetheless possess a steady, unwavering determination. You are extremely reliable and motivated, particularly where money is the ultimate regard. More than most, you are driven to acquire the good things in life: material possessions, physical pleasures and comfort.
In your relations with others, you are kind and gentle, with a sympathetic ear, generally ready to help with an encouraging word or some sound practical advice. However, you are not so receptive to another’s good counsel yourself, being very much a creature of habit. If asked to consider a new approach, your natural response is "Why change a winning hand?" And woe betide anyone who tries to force on you a new direction -- they may realize too late that beneath your calm exterior you are extremely stubborn and, if pushed too hard, also have quite a temper! Sensual by nature, you make a devoted and romantic lover and will do all you can to maintain a stable relationship and happy home life. But you must be wary of a tendency to become overly possessive and jealous, for this can undermine the very harmony you seek.
On your path to personal growth, the challenge for you is to learn enjoyment of luxury and comforts of life (money, possessions, and relationships), while remaining inwardly detached from them. You will come to recognize that, though these things most certainly have their place, they cannot be sought at the expense of nourishment for the mind and spirit. As Benjamin Franklin once said, "eat to live, and not live to eat."
