Taurus in Mythology

One of the legends says that Cerus was a wandering and lonely bull. Cerus was wild and uncontrollable, he had no owner. One day, Persephone, the goddess of spring, found him treading flowers and approached him. The beauty and sweetness of the girl soothed him and the animal fell madly in love with her. Persephone domesticated Cerus and taught him to be patient and to use his strength intelligently.

In autumn, when Persephone goes to Hades, Cerus travels to heaven and becomes the constellation Taurus. Every year, in spring, Persephone returns to earth and Cerus joins her. At that moment, the goddess sits on his back and he roams the sun-flooded fields as she makes all the plants bloom.

Positive Energies of the Sign Taurus

Taurus is talent. Talent to solve problems and fix things. Getting their head working and looking for creative solutions is one of their favorite activities. The native of this sign also has a special fondness for guiding and helping others. It is an excellent mentor, a person who knows how to support and develop individual potential.

Practical spirit, patience and quick thinking, they make friends, family and co-workers seek their advice in less happy times. And with good reason. Taurus always has a word of encouragement and a positive outlook on life. In Taurus, everything is strength and conviction. There is no room for fatalities and unresolved problems. In this regard, they can also count on their Taurus friend, to listen patiently to him for hours on end and to help them dismantle the problem in order to find a practical solution.

But natives of Taurus are also practical people. If they don't see the usefulness of a particular action or idea, they will hardly get involved. However, when they commit, they are present to the end. They carry out their tasks on time, slowly. But always highly concentrated. They think at length about everything they do and the consequences of each move for the final result. At times, it may seem that your friend Taurus is lost in his own mental daydreams, but when they find the solution, they're focused again on what they're doing.

They never fail to keep their promises. Skilled and full of energy, the day seems to be much longer than 24 hours. They bounce happily from task to task, from commitment to commitment. Being with others, socializing, making friends and spending time with them is one of their favorite pastimes. They never tires of social life and of infecting others with their uplifting energy.

Negative Energies of the Sign Taurus

The native of Taurus enjoys only the best in life. By itself, this preference is not negative. Only when it becomes a source of greed does it result in difficulty sharing and a high dose of selfishness. More serious, however, is when Taurus starts to evaluate people and the interest in relationships from the material side. This reduces their potential to develop their true nature (which is generous and sharing), to meet interesting people and to bond in a broader social cycle. It makes them selfish and envious. 

The taste for beauty, comfort and pleasure, so associated with Taurus, leads, on its negative side, to superficiality. When they can't see past the appearance, the outer shell, it results in poor relationships and low self-esteem. The need to have everything and show what they have, to others creates a spiral of attachment to materialism and permanent dissatisfaction. Having more does not mean being happier. 

Another unfavorable aspect of Taurus is resentment and inflexibility. The native of this sign may find it difficult to take their share of responsibility for their own failure. This causes them to judge too quickly and point the finger at others, rather than assuming that it could also be their fault. More than pushing people away, these negative feelings are the reason personal happiness and the ability to evolve are compromised.
