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.

In the expansive and broad-minded sign of Sagittarius, the Moon takes on a special radiance and shine that is distinct from other moon signs. Sagittarius is the astrological sign of long journeys and higher education. Here, the Moon urges a more active mode of existence. If your Moon is in Sagittarius, you are recognized for your sharp, incisive mind, excellent insights, and ability to get things done in a jiffy.

Your clear-thinking mind examines sensory information swiftly and with alarming efficacy. You are the sort of individual who envisions large goals and then sets about accomplishing them undeterred by the scope of the task. You seldom heed advice about potential pitfalls and drawbacks, nor wait to see if a plan is unrealistic or untenable. With optimism and enthusiasm, you race in and normally succeed in what you set out to do. With a Moon in Sagittarius, there is a lofty vision, and an ability to see farther than people with the Moon in other signs.

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.

If you have Venus in Gemini you must have an mental affinity with someone before your hearts start to blossom. Essentially, you have a cheerful disposition toward love. Deep, complex emotional engagements are like an anchor around your throat. You have such a broad range of interests—travel, literature, music, recognizing new areas (and meeting new people)—that a partner just can’t be the only center of your life.

This confers a definite coolness to your sentiments. Your inconstancy seldom produces challenges in love or marriage, but you spring back promptly. Not even a frustrated lover can be annoyed at you very long—you are too charming, amusing, and entertaining. You relish being with people and possess lots of friends, and often more than one sweetheart. (Venus exercises its most provocative influence in Gemini.) This placement of Venus also excites a casual and loose hand for squandering money.

With Mars in Leo, there is likely to be a persona that is larger than life. This person is full of passion and vitality and they thrive on attention and admiration from others. They are natural performers who like to show off and strut their stuff. They are good at captivating an audience and being entertaining. Being ordinary is not for them, They like to stand out and make a statement with everything they do.

Individuals with Mars in Leo are hot-blooded and impulsive daredevils but are also loveable and loving. Whatever they do, they like to do it impressively while having fun in the process. Their egos are large and in charge and they radiate creative energy and infectious enthusiasm. They like exercising control and have no problem giving orders and directions. They can come across as a bit bossy and demanding at times. Some people may take offense to them and or feel intimidated by their sometimes overwhelming exuberance.

If you were born in 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980 or 1992, then you are a Monkey in Chinese astrology. They are described as intelligent and able to influence people. An enthusiastic achiever, you are easily discouraged and confused. Your best matches are with a Dragon or a Rat and beware the Tiger.

Monkeys are good listeners and tackle complicated situations with ease. This Sign’s natural curiosity gives it a broad-based intellectual curiosity. Monkeys have a show-off side that loves nothing more than to impress their friends with all they know. Monkeys often feel the need to try everything at least once, which can make for a merry-go-round of relationships. 

Those born in years of the Chinese calendar ending in either zero or one, are said to have the element of Metal. Combined with the person’s animal zodiac symbol, this is used to define and give clues to the personality and future of the person. The element metal is said to be associated with the Western culture, the season of autumn, the Planet Venus and the color white. Those born under metal element may have an affinity for Western religion or yearn to break away from tradition.

Being close to Venus means those with a metal element are typically romantic, sentimental and kind. Those with the metal element may be more likely to suffer diseases of the lungs such as asthma. Organization and stability are the earmarks of the metal element. Metal people approach life with persistence, emotional strength, and unyielding determination. A metal person knows their goals and will not stop until those goals are met. Self –reliant, sometimes to a fault, metal people can be viewed as aloof and unconcerned with others.

They are personable and friendly and interested in understanding the dynamics between them and others.

ENFPs are also highly creative and likely to have a number of artistic outlets for their self-expression. They have strong personal values and are always evaluating the world according to those values. ENFPs are compassionate idealists who exhibit a lot of warmth and congeniality. They are free spirits who will champion the principles and people they care about. Although social and involved with other people, ENFPs never become so attached that they lose sight of their individualism and sense of self. They have strong emotions and they rely on their feelings to guide them. They want to be true and authentic in their expression and also to pursue what truly makes them happy.
