"Astrology is a science in itself and contains an illuminating body of knowledge. It taught me many things, and I am greatly indebted to it. Geophysical evidence reveals the power of the stars and the planets in relation to the terrestrial. In turn, astrology reinforces this power to some extent. This is why astrology is like a life-giving elixir to mankind." ~Albert Einstein---

The key phrase of Taurus is "I have". They have a strong desire for personal security. Their quest for spritual truths comes by material efforts. The astrological symbol for Taurus is the bull, which reveals the stubborn nature of the Taurean personality. Because these individuals are unable to rely on others, they are usually very dependable themselves. A good Taurean will have a strong sense of loyalty. The hub of their universe is security, both physical and emotional.

If the Sun is fully expressed in the chart, Taureans are physically strong and solidly built with a heavy chest and torso. Even those who are not fat may appear physically dense and characteristically stout, even barrel-chested, with thick legs.

Structurally, it rules the occiput, cervical vertebrae, lower jaw and teeth, chin and palate. The pathological tendencies of this sign are stroke, croup, tonsillitis, lymphatic stasis of the neck and head and laryngitis. Vulnerable parts of the body are the neck, throat, shoulders and upper torso. Stiff necks, sore throats and earaches are common Taurean complaints.

Practical, reliable Taureans are great lovers of sensual pleasures, although they tend to be rather stubborn, possessive and conservative. Firmly anchored in the material world, they have a fine grasp of what is needed in order to lead the good life. Taureans are capable in emergencies, where they have an instinctive understanding of what to do, but under normal circumstances, no-one can force them into anything without due time for thought and consideration.

Taurus rules the throat, giving a powerful, often beautiful voice. The influence of Venus opens up a world of musical talent and appreciation, so Taureans are good singers and musicians, or at least, love music and can be a force on the business side of music.

CANCER (Rules the Breast)-⇑Top

Cancer is the fourth sign of the tropical zodiac. The key phrase for Cancer is "I feel". Cancer's sign is the crab. It is a highly creative sign of deep feeling, with a powerful psychic sensitivity held in check beneath a tough, shell-like exterior.

Cancerian people are at times very complex, appearing to have the strength of a hero and at other times displaying the weakness of a child. This is due to a combined solar-lunar influence. Just as the Sun reverses its direction in this sign, stopping in the northern sky and beginning its trek southward, the crab often walks sideways upon the approach of danger.

Cancerians have an indirect approach in dealing with others than direct confrontations. They are more apt to resort to emotional appeals. This is because they react emotionally to everything they experience in life. Many succeed in life because of their genuine concern for the welfare of others inspires loyalty as well as cooperation and trust.

Cancerians also make good business people, combining artistry, originality and drive with an understanding of financial matters, marketing and the needs of the public. They can trust their intuitions, but need to generate a faith in themselves which will not be dampened by gloom or depression over what, in retrospect, may appear to be relatively insignificant problems. Cancer has the natural ability to be diplomatic and to speak out when necessary. Home and family ties will be significant in life and developing a secure, comfortable home environment will be a boon to their state of mind, irrespective of marital state.

Cancer's Ruling Area is - Breast

Cancer's astrological symbol is Crab, so when threatened, people with Cancer prominent in their chart tend to armour themselves by withdrawing into solitude. When upset, they usually use food as consolation, which in turn, results in obesity, food allergies and intestinal dysbiosis.
