Physical Appearence: Well built and stocky, you tend to put on weight easily. Your skin is generally soft and glowing, your eyes are very noticeable and your lips are full and well shaped. Generally, your movements are graceful and well coordinated. Personality: You are often rated as the most practical and the most stubborn sign of the zodiac. In fact, reliability and perseverance are the key to your personality. Your determination and strong will power which refuses to wilt even when under severe stress and strain generally carries you to great heights. As a matter of fact, you revel in challenges. The more difficult the road ahead, the more imperative it will be for you to get to the end of it. At another level, ruled as you are by Venus, the planet of love, you are warm hearted, sympathetic, caring and loyal. It is often said that you are a good friend but also a good enemy. Although your powers of articulation and expression are often exceptional, you tend to be shy and reserved until you get to know a person well. Honest and trustworthy, you have a marked aversion for sycophants and devious people and often end up making bitter enemies and your fight with them is, more often than not, a do or die battle. Extremely patient and slow to take anger, it is difficult to control you once your ire has been aroused. Traits to be corrected: You can be unreasonably stubborn at times, losing other people's sympathy in the process. There are times as well when you tend to be lazy, unwilling to make a sincere effort. Your weakness for food and material comforts can sometimes acquire harmful proportions. Suitable Professions: You would make good singers, dancers, financiers, art dealers, bankers, civil servants, writers, models, jewelers, architects, gardeners, farmers. Business and Finances: You make excellent business people and financiers and are known as the money sign of the zodiac. You manage to find opportunities to increase profits or expand business where others see none. You also tend to instinctively find above average avenues of investment. The best deals that you strike are generally those connected with land or property. Ideal Match: Your own Earth signs, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn would revive the ideal match for you, along with Aquarius. Romance and Marriage: Although practical by nature, you're surprisingly romantic. Its a different matter that your romance begins only after you have observed that your prospective partner has all or most of the qualities that appeal to you. But once you're in the courtship stage, you're very ardent and caring and yes, patient. You can wait almost endlessly for your partner. Once married, you look for unshakable stability. However, romance and a highly passionate approach to it are the bedrocks of your marriage. Contrary to general belief, you don't like dull moments and are willing to experiment, especially if it keeps your partner happy. Wives and Husbands: You make excellent providers and are known as the homemakers of the zodiac. Extremely sensitive to the other person's needs, providing a whole range of material comforts seem to be your way of keeping your partner happy. You make faithful partners, seldom straying even during rocky periods. Domestic Environment: With your love of all things material, your domestic environment usually leaves little to be desired. Amongst other distinctive features, you like to have a lot of ferns and plants around the house. Your home is built to have more than the usual share of unusual bric-a-brac. Peace and quiet at home appeal to you tremendously. Health: Your sign rules the neck, throat, larynx, vocal chords, tonsils, jugular vein, thyroid gland, chin, lower jaw, tongue and ears. You are prone to sore throats, goiter, tonsillitis, laryngitis, obesity, and constipation. Taureans with long, expressive necks have a tendency to put on weight even though they are strong and well built. They love to have good food and prefer to take high protein/ high fat diet. They have problems with the heart, arteries and blood pressure at the later stage of life. Taureans are particularly vulnerable to colds, coughs, sore throats, laryngitis, swollen glands, stiff necks, and to minor injuries around the neck. They usually suffer from puffy eyes and jowls, and their face is apt to get heavier as time goes by. To be healthy and strong, Taureans should have a diet low in starch, fat, and sugar. Sulphate of sodium is the cell salt for this sign which controls the amount of water in the system. The deficiency of this salt can cause swelling, congestion around the thyroid gland, and a wet feeling. Taureans should include those foods in their diet that are rich in this mineral salt. It should be fresh vegetables like beets, asparagus, cauliflower, cucumber, onions, pumpkin, cranberries and Swiss chard. They should have oranges, grapes and cherries in their fruit diet. For best functioning of thyroid, they should eat fish and seafoods that are rich in natural iodine. Besides this, they should take eggs, green salads, wheat germ and kidney beans regularly. 8-10 glasses of water in a day are necessary for a Taurus born to keep their system properly functioning. Taurean should avoid food that is heavy, oily and rich in carbohydrates. They should keep themselves away from fatty foods like meat and cheese. Remember: Regular exercises like brisk walking, swimming and yoga is very necessary for Taureans. Your Hobbies: Your hobbies tend to be those where you can give free reign to your acquisitive characteristics. However, it isn't limited to acquisitiveness alone, as what you collect or do must have elements of grace, beauty, and creativity. For instance, you like dancing, but elegance must be a part of it instead of just movement. Gardening, flower arrangements, interior and landscape designing, sculpting, collecting antiques, designing or collecting jewelry, painting, collecting perfumes are among the activities that could become rewarding hobbies for you. Moods: Unlike Arians, you produce well when you're feeling good. And you produce even better when you have points to prove. Perhaps your best outcomes are those produced when you're in love and you feel inspired to reach for the skies. However when you're saddened by someone's behavior, or disillusioned with somebody or you feel you've conquered a peak or you've mastered a subject these are the moods and times when your productivity is likely to dip. But if you're driven into a corner through unfair means you're gripped by a mood in which you'll settle for nothing less than a victory and on your own terms. Avoid taking decisions when:You're feeling you're a real achiever. Your Drink: So strong is your drive, that you actually don't really need a drink to pep you up. There are other factors such as your unlimited curiosity and desire to do well which often act as potent drinks for you. However, this is not to say that you should not drink. But do bear in mind that hard drinks per se are unlikely to be of much help in pushing your interests. On the contrary, they're likely to blunt some of your usual sharpness. Soft drinks you'll enjoy for the sheer flavour, and anything with mint in it will boost your career and business prospects. To tipple the scales in your favour:The hours between six and eight in the evening are your ideal times for having a tot. . Fabrics: The `tere' range is most suited to you and will bring you luck in a steady stream. In fact, `mixed' fabrics in general are your forte. Tere-voile, for instance, will provide you with the winning balance between being pragmatic and being a visionary. Tere-cotton will enable you to reach your goals faster. The pastel shades will be as lucky for you as the bright colours. However, for special occasions, it's fabrics which are a royal purple or have elements of it which will boost your fortunes and ensure just the kind of outcomes you're seeking. A special tip: To capitalise on your charm, try and wear fabrics which have a 70:30 proportion of tere-cotton. Furniture: Solid and old world. That's the best kind of furniture for you, as it would give you a psychological boost, catering well to your sense of security. However, at the same time, its got to be aesthetically appealing. Period pieces would be especially lucky for you. For most of you, it would be a good idea to purchase ready made furniture and then embellish it with fixtures of your own choice. But before you purchase it, make sure you carry out a thorough survey of the market before making your choice. Dark brown furniture would be more up your street than lighter shades. If some of the pieces you choose have wheels so much the better. A tip that won't give you regrets: Furniture which gives you unusual bits of storage space and lots of comfort would click with you. Accessories: The more variety you display in your choice of accessories, the greater the advantages for you. A blend of utility and aesthetic beauty is just what you need when deciding upon your accessories. For instance, bags with lots of compartments and pockets will appeal to you. Curiously, you'll be able to carry off both synthetic materials and classical stuff with equal aplomb. Off beat shapes and materials would also be beneficial for accessories, particularly jewellery or watches. A special tip: Go in for small sized accessories.. Safety: Yours is the sign of the bull, remember. Therefore, your courage in defending yourself and others too would be quite outstanding. You'd be willing to take risks if it serves a purpose, but its also true that you'd much rather avoid provoking others. However, your curiosity often tends to get the better of you, which means you'd be hanging around at a trouble spot long after others have turned tail. Besides, you're also prone to overestimating your physical prowess, though it's true that you can be quite ingenuous when dealing with danger. Your safety rating on a scale of ten: 6 Herbs: Even though it doesn't figure amongst your chief herbs, basil is the one herb that will fuel your efforts in virtually every sphere, particularly love, and ensure that you remain in good health. Spearmint is another "all-season'' herb for you which will tone up both your thinking process and your body. Regular use of basil and spearmint would result in an almost constant firing on all cylinders together with the very necessary replenishments occurring in a natural manner. Your chief herbs: Spearmint, elder and lavage. Your astrological health points: The region of your throat.
