just me going through my birth chart and seeing what is accurate and what isn't.

the sun (vitality, a sense of individuality, and outward-shining creative energy)

• when taurus natives work, they work hard. they do it with a steadiness that may rarely be considered quick--rather it's a dependable, plodding, and steady effort that has its payoffs. security is fundamental to taurus--some of them actively seek wealth, while others are content to be "comfortable." the taurus definition of "comfortable" may not be exactly the same as the rest of the signs, but comfort is definitely a driving force.

i feel that this is very true about me. i am a very hard worker, to the point that i burn out A LOT. but i love working and i do it with future security and stability in mind, so i'm between seeking wealth and comfort for myself. i want both equally.

• taurus natives are sensual folk--and this includes sex, but extends to pleasures in all areas: they delight in the sensual pleasures of food, a comfortable blanket, a richly colored aquarium to look at, the smell of flowers or spring rain, pleasing melodies coming from their stereos, and so forth. some might even say they live through their senses more than most.

very true! i love the good things in life from good food to a lovely museum/exhibition. i love experiencing things through the senses even if it can be overwhelming for me at times. i think this is most true for me in terms of visuals; i love pretty, aesthetic things whether it's people or things. it just brings a certain calm.

• although hard-working, their fixed and comfort-loving nature sometimes makes them appear lazy. this is only because they separate work and leisure so well. when they work, they work hard, and when they play, they don't really "play" as such...they relax. a solar taurus who has kicked their feet up is rooted there--you'd be hard-pressed to get them to move.

i get called lazy a lot, usually by my dad, but that's because this is very true about me. when i work, i work and i don't stop until i'm done and when i play, i relax and just like to chill and sleep or spend time with friends. i think i do a good job of separating work and play in that sense.

• on a mental level, you'll likely have the same problem. taureans stick with things and ideas, and therein lies one of the reasons why they are known for their stubbornness. taurus is a fixed sign, and they have a fair measure of tradition and steadiness in their make-up that keeps them rooted. though they are dependable most of the time, this generally shows itself more in habit than outright helpfulness.

in some ways, this is true, but also not quite. i am quite stubborn but i'm also a very open-minded person so even if i have certain thoughts and opinions on things, i'm not afraid to listen to other points of view and even change my own point of view if someone else's really resonated with me. i like tradition to a certain extent, i think, it just depends on the tradition. i like to think i'm dependable, but i think that's for others to decide.

• the possessiveness associated with taurus shows up in all areas of life in some way. taurus likes to own things (and sometimes people)--a nice home, a piece of land (this can be modest), a paid-off car, that aquarium mentioned earlier, a couple of pets, and maybe a solid business.

i'm not in a position where i've owned anything yet so i'm not sure how true this is. i would like to own a home and a car in the future, though, obviously and i definitely want lots of pets in my family.

• in love and relationship, there is an earthy kind of possessiveness that may be considered jealousy by some. in reality, there's quite a difference between being possessive and being jealous. taurus natives are rarely jealous and petty. they do, however, think of the people they love as theirs--it adds to their sense of security.

i think this is true because i'm not a jealous person at all and i never have been. but recently, i have found that i am a bit possessive, which might sound jealous if i were to speak openly about it. this possessiveness is mostly with people, but it's not in a bad or weird way. it's more like "this is my circle, this is my family, i love them, and i want to be there for them" rather than jealousy or "no one else can have what is 'mine'", which i find silly.

• short description: they are strong-willed. they have charm, and they are tolerant and stoical. they like pleasure and the good things in life. appreciates the arts. weaknesses: obstinacy, laziness. they can be materialistic.

the short description is pretty true, lol, though i don't think i'm super materialistic.
