Think about characteristics of a Bull other than the well-known phrase of bull-headed. Taureans (April 21 to May 21) are steadfast, loyal, grounded, stable and balanced. They’re smart without being overly intellectual. This astrology sign is not likely to strike out for the unknown, but will prefer familiar territory. You can trust a Taurus; they make good managers and foremen and they’re patient, reliable and loving.

They’re good in the fields of banking, architecture, farming, medicine or chemistry. These are fields in which you can be creative, but within a framework of stable practices and science. Taureans are good workers and not giving to goofing off. Because they’re not big risk-takers, they can be trusted with the company finances and are completely reliable and trustworthy. Every positive characteristic has another side to it, and in the Taurean, this reliability and steadfastness can manifest itself as jealousy and obstinacy.

With the Moon in Aries, you’ve got a pushy disposition. Your reactions are swift and fast, and you never question them for an instant. As a consequence, you tend to be rather decisive of your opinions and dislike it when others question or contradict you. Patience isn’t your forte. You won’t spend excess time deliberating tedious details; you like to dive right in and let the chips fall where they may.

In the spirited sign of Aries, the Moon endows you with attractiveness, enthusiasm, and a special penchant for winning other’s support. You’re very keen on talking about nearly anything and may sound very informed on a broad variety of topics. Nevertheless, you’ve got a fleeting attention span. Though passion and energy overflow, the long, onerous demands involved can cause you to fall short of your goal. Despite that, you’re ever quick to pick yourself up and progress forward onto new and exciting prospects. However, if you’re chasing an aim you actually care strongly about, you may push yourself to the limit of your patience.

Those with Mercury in Taurus never start on a project before they are totally prepared. They have a reasonable, firm, and practical mind. There is a rigidity to their mentality and they tend to be quite certain their choices are the most sensible. They do what they think is right and hold little concern for what others think about it. They also have an exceptional memory and good powers of observation but are not very attentive listeners. It can be very difficult to change their minds once they’ve been made up.

Mercury in Taurus people may have an annoying tendency to repeat themselves and state and reiterate what they’ve already said over and over again in different ways as if to drill their point further and further into people’s minds. Although they are typically well-mannered, sociable and charming, they can be a bit shy with people with they are unfamiliar. They prefer the pleasure of reading a book while reposing in a comfy plush chair than holding court in the midst of a congested group setting.

Venus in the feisty and passionate sign of Aries denotes torrid and impulsive desires. Venus in Aries are a mix of sentimentality and aggressiveness. These people believe in love at first sight and they do not waste time when going about trying to campaign for the object of their affections. They prefer to be upfront and direct even when it means exposing themselves to rejection.

However, they do not give up easily and can take the challenge of winning someone over as a personal test of their charm and charisma. They can be foolish and imprudent in matters of love. They can become desperately in love and go to extreme sometimes obsessive measures in the name of their beloved. Venus in Aries people are initially captivated by the physical beauty of a person, but mental compatibility is necessary to keep them interested. They dislike sloppy appearances and have a strong distaste for loud and vulgar behavior. 

Mars in Gemini likes dynamic activity of the mind. You are cleverly cerebral, with a steel-trap mind that immediately understands concepts and shapes novel ideas. You are perceptive and realistic and reach conclusions in a flash. The dilemma is that you lack strength of determination. You hesitate, dawdle, and think of yet another delay. In matters of sensuality, you feel desire in the mind before it matures into reality.

You appreciate the enterprise leading up to lovemaking and have emotions that are easily stimulated. However, as soon as an affair suffers a loss of zest and becomes dull you look for the exit hatch. You manage to have plenty of relationships and intimacies. Mars-Geminis are apt to encourage and to lead others through the power of the verbalized and printed word. Usually you possess a captivating voice and a compelling gift to persuade others of what you say.
