Taurus Personalities (May 11 to May 22) – Third Decan

Taurus Third Decan Personalities

People born May 11 to May 22

 

The Third Decan of Taurus is also known as the Capricorn Decante and the "Week of the Natural."

The influence of Saturn, the secondary planet governing this Decan, can induce interesting differences but chiefly makes for an individual possessed of a potent desire to succeed, coupled with the patience, will and drive to do so. Alternatively, this planetary influence can make for a person who is overly-serious and self-disciplined to a fault. In such circumstances, these subjects should try to stop second-guessing past decisions and worrying over future possibilities. In short, they need to give themselves permission to enjoy life in the "here and now."

Here are characteristics of person born of Taurus Second Decan:

Constantly focused on the next higher rung

Wherever Third Decan Taurus individuals might be on the ladder of success at any given time, they are never truly content since their eyes and hearts are constantly focused on the next higher rung. Subjects who fall under the jurisdiction of this Decan may well experience many problems, delays, setbacks and outright failures in their attempts to move up, but the will to keep on trying never allows them to give in. It makes little difference to these natives the number of times they might be "brought to their knees" since they seem to understand that few things of worth will be realized unless they are earned.

Strong and impulsive individuals

These are people who rarely expect "something for nothing," although they may wish that such things could be realities. Here, courtesy of Saturn, all the combined sympathy and self-will which characterizes the Taurus nature can falter through doubt and worry if allowed to take control. However, Third Decan Taurus natives are strong and impulsive individuals who can override obstacles and avoid such pitfalls. The goal is for such personsis to "be themselves" and shake off any morbid moods.

If this is accomplished, then the influence of Saturn manifests itself only with regard to studious desires, which should be taken advantage of, but not allowed to keep these natives from participating in activities they might prefer.

Naturally gifted in business and finance

Naturally gifted in business and finance, Third Decan Taurus subjects make excellent designers, architects and artists, often found in positions of authority and responsibility. They benefit from private and solitary times taken away from crowds and nature has a curative effect on such individuals. They tend to be slow in "warming-up" to others, while allowing them to earn trust and respect.

Usually take life, themselves, everyone and everything much too seriously

Perhaps the most negative aspect of this Decan is that its natives take life, themselves, everyone and everything much too seriously. They would be well-advised to develop a more positive attitude and outlook, not to mention a better sense of humor. The dedication to success and achievement here can bring about an extremely negative effect on family and home life if the individual fails to learns how to devote some time to matters other than career, profession and/or business.

The motto of the Third Decan of Taurus is "Mastership."

Taurus Personalities (April 31 to May 10) – Second Decan

Second Decan Taurus Personality

People born April 31 to May 10

 

The Second Decan of Taurus is also known as the Virgo Decante and the "Week of the Teacher."

The influence of Mercury, the secondary planet governing this Decan, can induce interesting differences but chiefly makes for a bright and well-organized person who is an excellent communicator with a fine critical ability. Nonetheless, care should be taken to resist the temptation to find fault with others and instead, use such talent to avoid going to personal extremes.

Here are characteristics of person born of Taurus Second Decan:

These natives are the most hardworking of all Taurus individuals

Here, Virgo traits cause these natives to be the most hardworking of all Taurus individuals...ones who like money and are sufficiently industrious to put forth the effort necessary to accumulate wealth. Not really adept at "wheeling-and-dealing," these Taurus subjects tend to believe that system, order and dedication to work will bring the desired materials gains. Very aware of details, these natives believe there is a place for everything and that everything should be in its place.

Possess good mind, mental curiosity and a desire for self-improvement

The influence of Mercury will provide a good mind, mental curiosity and a desire for self-improvement, thus increasing the chances of material success and the ability to say or write whatever might be necessary to reach this positive result. Second Decan Taurus individuals count among the most effective salespersons and a career or business closely associated with selling may be the best choice for achieving the monetary rewards sought by these natives. 

 

Here, the concept of accumulating wealth hinges most importantly on economy, conservation, efficiency of operation and keeping more of what comes in, as opposed to simply increasing the intake with little regard as to how it is to be managed.

It is important that individuals born under the jurisdiction of this Decan be staunch and steady, pushing the strength of Taurus to its fullest capacity.

Prone to Indolence

Lunar influences are prone to affect this Decan and, given the changeability of the Moon, can invoke the indolence which is one of the great weaknesses of the primary Venus nature. However, the impulse of Mercury is helpful here since it can aid in rousing an individual from the "doldrums." Second Decan Taurus natives should never take up anything they do not care for, or the inherent nature of Venus will rebel and fail to "make the most of it." Those born within this period need to set a goal and avoid petty jealousy while seeking to attain such a goal.

Sensitive to noise and very detail-conscious

Natives of this Decan will doubtless face many conflicts and have to overcome many physical and mental challenges before the day is through. Sensitive to noise and very detail-conscious, those who fall under the influence of this Decan detest tight schedules, interruptions and surprises. There is a tendency toward teeth-grinding during sleep and sore muscles in the neck, throat and jaw. The opinions of these individuals are strong, but are often better going unexpressed...unless particularly requested to voice them.

The motto of the Second Decan of Taurus is "Struggle."

Taurus Personalities (April 21 to April 30) – First Decan

Taurus First Decan Personalities

People born April 21 to April 30

The First Decan of Taurus is also known as the Taurus Decante and the "Week of Manifestation."

This Decan is the most typical of its native Sign, meaning that individuals born during this period may well be the most materialistic, hedonistic and sensuous of all Taurus subjects...they are the ones most influenced by the primary ruling planet of Venus. Here, for better or worse, all the usual Taurus characteristics are more pronounced.

Here are characteristics of person born of Taurus First Decan:

Possess money-oriented trait

To these natives, money does indeed talk and they may need to somewhat curb this money-oriented trait in order to avoid losing out on many of the other good and satisfying things in life. In short, they need to learn that money is not everything. If wealth is allowed to become their "god," then they will have little, if any, time for anything else. Consequently, these individuals could become exceedingly rich but find themselves totally alone and unloved.

If wealth does become all-important, then there is likely to be a tendency to question whether those who express love truly feel the emotion or are simply "in it for the money." Thus, suspicions regarding the motivations of others can lead to much personal misery.

Possesses an accented appetite for food, drink and sexual encounters

This Decan possesses an accented appetite for food, drink and sexual encounters and those who fall under its influence would do well to strive for moderation, lest such appetites turn into "masters," causing an over-abundance of personal problems and grief.

Approach to life taken by these subjects is rather deliberate

The approach to life taken by these subjects is rather deliberate. They like to take things slow and easy, disliking to be rushed since they tend to savor just about anything they do. With its dual secondary planetary influences of Mars and Mercury, the natural sympathy of this Decan is easily roused to quickness and over-activity which can lead to worry and dissatisfaction.

Passionate and lusty to the core

Trivial matters and immediate goals can disturb the romantic side of the individual nature in this instance. The influence of Mars is responsible for angry moods that play havoc with the normal trend. It is important that individuals who fall within the jurisdiction of this First Decan be tactful, rather than aggressive. Passionate and lusty to the core, these Taurus individuals tend to believe that too much is never quite enough.

Normally very attractive, musical, artistic and sensual individuals

On a more positive note, First Decan Taurus natives are normally very attractive, musical, artistic and sensual individuals who are inherently fond of animals, the land, virgin forests and beautiful hand-made crafts. In short, they embrace earthly pleasures with much gusto. The nurturing and fruitful qualities of the earth are often emphasized in this Decan and the ability to acquire wealth and items of value can be quite extraordinary. However, an abundance of lust for such material things can lead to moral and spiritual blindness.

Prosperity based on hard work is usually indicated, together with an eagerness to cooperate with family and friends.

The motto of the First Decan of Taurus is "Determination."

Characteristics of Aries Taurus Cusp

Notable characteristics of Aries Taurus Cusp individuals:

Often strive for power

Aries Taurus cusp natives strive for power in their daily lives, but the fiery and dynamic Aries character is tempered and grounded courtesy of the solid earthiness of Taurus. 

Thus, the undeniable trademark of these cuspians tends to be a preoccupation with power and their birthright is perceived as nothing less than the very best that life has to offer.

Nevertheless, these individuals usually possess the ability of being able to pursue their goals without inciting antagonism in those around them since others others find it easier and more advantageous to agree with the powerfully persuasive Aries/Taurus cuspian rather than disagree. Whether it takes a long time or short time to achieve their ends matters little to these individuals provided they eventually arrive.

Possess superb sense of timing and the talent to know when and when not to act.

Above all, they have a superb sense of timing and the talent to know when and when not to act.
At an initial meeting, these cuspians frequently impress others as being quiet and self-assured...people who know how to watch and wait.

Thus, they make for formidable enemies and capable work colleagues.

They are well aware of the value of money...and also know how to attain it

Aries Taurus individuals are well aware of the value of money...and also know how to attain it. However, the goal here is generally not so much in terms of financial security as a steady cash flow derived from work which will allow for worry-free spending.

In the eyes of those born on the Aries/Taurus cusp, financial dependency on another is a liability...these are people who would much rather support themselves and harbor little desire to relinquish personal freedom. Learning to accept financial support (or any type of support for that matter) from family and friends may be difficult for these individuals but, like love, it will take them a step forward in personal development.

May be prone to indolence

Many Aries Taurus cusp natives often secretly yearn to relinquish the daily battles of the world and simply submit totally to fantasy, pleasure, sheer laziness or perhaps another individual. Although this is virtually impossible for such cuspians to accomplish for very long, it is often a comforting thought in their hard-driving approach to daily life...a notion which may get them through many a difficult day.
Indeed, those governed by this cusp combination tend to do best when they can "empty themselves out" from time-to-time (through sleep, massage, meditation or a vacation, for example) and allow themselves the opportunity to "recharge."

Apt to play as hard as they work

In their leisure time, Aries Taurus cusp individuals are apt to play as hard as they work. Any activity of an athletic nature will be greatly enjoyed since sports provide a positive and healthy outlet for some of the natural aggression associated with this cusp combination. Both individual challenge (aerobics, for example) as well as the group challenge of such sports as football and soccer will be greatly appreciated.

Aries/Taurus subjects also enjoy outdoor activities which allow them to get close to the earth (hiking, for instance). Indeed, these individuals could easily become expert rock climbers or kayakers or skiers...inherent intense activity and drive channeled through a great love and respect for the natural beauty of the outdoors is often apparent in this cusp combination. Conversely, the appreciation of art and culture here will also send these cuspians off to the opera and exclusive galleries.

Possess energy, initiative and courage

Perhaps the greatest strengths of Aries/Taurus natives is to be found in their energy, initiative and courage. Their ability to take a project and "run with it" is virtually unparalleled by any other cusp combination of the Zodiac. Their more earthy side encourages stability and perseverance while methodical determination enables them to be productive when others have long since "given up the ghost."

Indeed, this particular combination of fire and earth makes the Aries/Taurus cuspian one of the most dynamic, stable and passionate characters of the entire Zodiac.
