      SUN TAURUS

MOON VIRGO

       The State, in choosing men to serve it, takes no notice of their opinions. If they be willing faithfully to serve it, that satisfies.

      OLIVER CROMWELL

       There is overnight success and there’s longevity … and my thing is longevity.

      MAUREEN LIPMAN

      Themes

      EARTH/EARTH Responsible; ethical; poise; stability; hard-working; earthy; lucid; common sense; good teacher and student; graceful; dutiful; likes practical tasks; discriminating intellect; physical beauty; skilful; epicurean; artisan.

      You are a perennial student of life, methodically adding to your skills, talents, security and enjoyment. You chart your future with a clear, rational grasp of what is necessary, and you lay foundations that are index-linked and geared to letting you enjoy the good things of life whilst never shirking your duties at work or at home.

      Enormously responsible, capable and blessed with lots of earthy charm, you aim to do the right thing for yourself and for loved ones – nothing pleases you more than serving those who depend upon you. One side of you is very fixed and self-assured: you know yourself and your needs and desires well, and you are confident in what you can do. You are also clear about what you do not want to do. Another side of you, however, tends to question and analyse yourself, and doubts that you have really got it right. This is the side that tells you that you could always do a little bit better.

      You are a sticker, a veritable workaholic and persevering perfectionist, dedicated to high standards and sterling service. But you are also quite independent, and prefer to be able to choose when, where and for whom you work. Ideally, you work for yourself, and you are a jolly hard taskmaster whose work is never done. Work and service is what you instinctively centre yourself around, and yet it can at times weigh you down if you let yourself get lost in the sea of details that you try to master.

      You are the great pragmatist. At home in the world of the senses, you are able to build up realistic priorities and a good sense of reality by dealing sequentially and logically with the things of this world that you can touch, taste, see and add up. As a result, you are an excellent organizer and can manage many types of responsibilities admirably, from domestic arrangements, gardening, child-rearing and teaching to writing, dancing, painting, singing and running your own theatre company. You make it your business to know your medium inside out, and your professional approach inspires confidence in everyone.

      Essentially you aspire to a life of simplicity, usefulness and rational harmony. You need to create something concrete and enduring, something that is morally sound, practical and contributes to the wellbeing of others, and something that is ultimately an expression of your own worth. When you are fully engaged in the purpose of your life, however quiet and humble it may appear to be, your love of excellence and of pleasure come together to create a warmly humorous, sharp-witted and innately wise personality whom others admire and respect.

      Relationships

      Emotionally your needs are straightforward: physical affection, loyalty, thoughtfulness and adherence to the domestic schedule that makes the most sense for everyone (and especially you). You take emotional commitment seriously, and can be the most devoted and kind-hearted of mates. But because you expect others to see the intelligence of organizing their lives as you do, more spontaneous individuals may find you rather demanding and strict. And yet you are often attracted to fiery, irrational types who ‘need organizing.’

      You can easily feel offended when others rebel at your ‘oughts’ and ‘shoulds’, for you are only trying to fulfil your obligations. You can also be quite sensitive and brood about not being appreciated or taken seriously, for you think about yourself as an alert, discerning thinker and a sane, constructive member of society. What life may teach you at some point is that there really are different ways of perceiving things, and that different individuals value different things.

      Your Greatest Strengths

      Earthiness and excellent common sense; practical efficiency and reliability; resourcefulness and constructive critical eye; your thorough and professional approach to work; your good sense of timing and ability to say the right thing at the right time; and your charming, gracious, humorous temperament.

      Your Greatest Weaknesses

      Fear or abhorrence of chaos; overdependence on rational explanations; need to control the here-and-now and to have absolute material security; tendency to rest on your laurels, get into a rut and neglect your deeper potential.

      Images for Integration

      In her sumptuous garden, the music teacher entertains her now accomplished past pupils … The treasurer for the Association for Social Reform invests proceeds of a jumble sale into gilt-edged securities.

       A leader who doesn’t hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.

      GOLDA MEIR

       Every time I talk to a savant I feel quite sure that happiness is no longer a possibility. Yet when I talk with my gardener, I’m convinced of the opposite.

       What is matter, never mind; what is mind, no matter.

      BERTRAND RUSSELL
