If Your Birth Sign is Taurus...

A word that describes you is "practical."

Before doing anything, you want to know

Whether it has a definite purpose.

If it doesn't, it's a no-go.

 

Before taking action, you must determine

What advantages will be gained.

If you lose your concentration

And scatter your forces, you'll feel drained.

 

You can concentrate all of your energy

For protracted periods of time.

But if anyone tries to rush you,

That, to you, is a major crime.

 

Whatever you call reality,

That is what you cling to securely.

And because of your stick-to-itiveness,

You don't give up prematurely.

 

You need to feel emotionally secure,

And so you are naturally cautious--

Always on the look-out for those

Weighty concerns that threaten to squash us.

 

Regarding dependability,

That is something at which you excel.

But to you it's extremely important

That you can depend on others as well.

 

Disappointment doesn't come easy;

You take it very much to heart,

Especially since you know you always

Put the horse before the cart.

 

If you can follow your planned agenda

And have the time, your tenacity

Helps you accomplish all your goals--

Everything that's within your capacity.

 

You can be loving and patient,

Soft-spoken, and subdued;

But you can be a stubborn cuss

When you're in a not-so-good mood.

 

Though you're usually slow to anger,

Surely you know what people say:

If you make a Taurean mad,

You'd better get out of his or her way!

 

You have a keen eye for beauty,

But don't be too materialistic.

Your strong need for material comforts

Could make you act opportunistic.

 

You need to be close to the earth;

Nature gives you inspiration.

The feeling that your foundation is weak

Causes a lot of exasperation.

 

If you're stubborn, you're VERY stubborn;

If you're lazy, you've VERY lazy.

Since you're good at whatever you do,

That shouldn't sound so crazy.

 

Your determination and strength

Should be an inspiration to all.

If you want to, you can do wonders.

It's up to you; it's your call.
