Sometimes you become so addicted to certain challenges and how to face them that you forget to stop and embrace those partway goals, small achievements that become your priority each day. Equally, it is vital that you congratulate yourself on what you have done each day. Do that, and your joys will blossom abundantly.
Just when life seems tough, I realize what an exciting adventure it is
You’re often described as a sensual Taurus, but that description suggests you indulge yourself broadly. And while it is true, you enjoy your pleasure, another side of your nature, as an earth sign, prefers life to have a certain order, and you enjoy organizing arrangements and setting goals. What’s more, you’ll ensure the process of achieving those goals will be fun. But you will sometimes put off that gratification until you’ve achieved everything you have in mind, whether in regard to your personal life, your activities out in the world, or a long-term goal—perhaps something at school or at work.
Similarly, this involves studying, even when you are simply lounging around. You might set yourself the target of learning about art or a particular sport. And for you, this process of making plans and achieving goals is a kind of vitamin. However, finding a balance between this and two other components of your life—close alliances, and simply to enjoy life for what it is—is one of your challenges.
Once you manage to achieve this—linking certain goals with the pleasure of others’ company, while learning something new, or simply allowing exciting developments to take over your life for a few days, weeks, or even months—you’ll find a balance that will turn a life of objectives into a life of joy as well.
With Venus ruling Taurus, you care deeply about the happiness and well-being of others. And if you are asked to do too much or someone else is overwhelmed, you will try to achieve a balance. The trick? Recognize that there are cycles—times to receive and to give. Find that balance and you’ll achieve peace where, previously, there has been tension.
Finding a balance when it comes to taking care of yourself can be challenging. While a regimen is tempting, being by nature sensual, you must be able to enjoy it. However, seek out and find a form of fitness or a way of eating that is a joy, and you will achieve both health and happiness.
Sometimes you become so addicted to certain challenges and how to face them that you forget to stop and embrace those partway goals, small achievements that become your priority each day. Equally, it is vital that you congratulate yourself on what you have done each day. Do that, and your joys will blossom abundantly.
As much as you enjoy learning about changes, both in the world around you and those reshaping the lives of others, you are less enthusiastic about changes in your own life. Yet judging by planetary activity, they are unavoidable. Explore what has arisen. Learn more, and you’ll be thrilled.

Sensuality and practicality are fundamental to you as a Taurus, the first of the earth signs. While its ruling planet, Venus, accents life’s pleasures, it’s also about assets, which means you are a gracious individual who lives both well and wisely. That’s reflected in your flower, the orchid, and your aromatic spices—cloves and sorrel. Your tree is crab apple, while your stones reflect Venus’s pastel shades in both jade and emerald.
