A Meditation For Taurus
"The
sum and substance of Taurus is not only the solid and the stolid, and
the power of patient persistence working into a soul-spiritual
distillate or essence -this alchemy it does work- but also the secret of
sound and the utterance of speech; for Taurus manifests the power to
vocalize and to form and pronounce the word. What the world calls
"practicality" is often said to be the trait particular to Taureans, for
they are usually people with a capacity to collect the coin of the
realm. It is their forte to deal with the physical and financial, to
make money, with some success, for their lesson in evolution binds them
to the energies of the earth. The truly practical, however, is at the
same time the spiritual. Today, humanity suffers and civilization breaks
down wherever this is true, spiritually real practicality is
disregarded. The evolutionary task of the Taureans is to acquire this
power of the truly practical. In Taurus one discovers in the end that
the only worthwhile possession is the spiritual self-possession." ~John
