Pay attention to the meaning, the sounds will sort themselves out

A friend of mine, whose hobby is travel, was telling me about his first trip to Gibraltar. You stood on the deck and enjoyed the expanse of the sea. Then in the distance slowly and smoothly rose a majestic mound. Someone shouted: "The Rock of Gibraltar!" Shocked by the sight, my friend turned pathetically to the bored young man on the neighboring lounger: "Look what a beauty! She has stood steadfast in this place for centuries! Storms raged around it, armies tried to conquer it, civilizations were born and died. It is a symbol of eternity!" The young man yawned and said boredly: "Aha. Your stories remind me of the old man.'' His father was a Taurus.

The places where this zodiac sign feels best are the farm, the bank and the real estate agency.

But it roams in other pastures as well. You will know him by his silence and seriousness. His speech is dominated by laconic expressions "yes", "no", "thank you", "goodbye", "aha", "hmm". If there is a strong influence of Aries, Sagittarius or Gemini in his birth chart, he may be more talkative and his gait more energetic. But the typical Taurus treads heavily and is tight-lipped. It really resembles the Rock of Gibraltar in its steadfastness. Neither water nor fire; neither furious screams nor bellicose aggression will disturb his equanimity.

Only if he makes up his mind, sticks out his chin, blows out his nostrils, and you're done - he'll run you over in an instant.

But that happens rarely. Otherwise, he prefers that you leave him alone. Don't hook him and he'll thank you. If you allow yourself to annoy him and growl too loudly, you will experience his wrath. For long months and even years, Taurus can live in balance, not paying attention to the intrigues around him.

One fine day, however, someone will drop the last straw and the huge cup of his patience will overflow. He will lash out like a madman, and then God help you. You better run as hard as you can or it will crush you. Even Scorpio can't get in his way at a time like this. I know a woman who never saw her Taurus man angry in their entire married life. One evening they were at a restaurant. A drunk approached their table and said something obscene. She expected that her husband would still keep his composure. Then, to the astonishment of all the visitors, the Taurus jumped up, grabbed the drunk and sent him to the other end of the hall. He almost knocked down the orchestra podium. So men, be careful which woman you set your eyes on. Find out her boyfriend's birthday first.

Many people born in May are tough and strong.

The women move phlegmatically and smoothly, but their gait betrays a hidden strength. Their gaze is hard and unmoved. Men have broad necks and backs. Their body is proportionally developed, their ears are small and attached. Most Tauruses have curly or brittle hair, usually dark. But not every Taurus looks like Ferdinand the bull or Elsa the cow. They are dry and thin, as well as fair-haired, with light eyes. However, this does not mean that they are less strong-willed and strong. Such are Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire and Gary Cooper. Fred Astaire is a quintessentially earthy Taurus despite his Gemini air charm and Pisces light step. The people who worked with him know this best.

Taurus cannot be made to go where they don't want to and do something they didn't want to do.

Bing Crosby is known for his cool personality and meek demeanor. Remember the towering figure of Gary Cooper's character in the old cowboy movies. He moves slowly and measuredly and barely utters ten sentences in the entire film. The role may require this behavior, but the director did not accidentally choose Gary Cooper. And here's a love scene with Gary Cooper: The girl: "I love you so much." Darling, I can't live without you. You're my Everything. Say you love me like I love you. Do you love me?” Gary Cooper's character: “Uh”.

Taurus is too far from eloquence,

it's not that he doesn't like women. But he will never run to chase them. Passivity is his typical behavior. He prefers to attract people. Therefore, he more often welcomes guests to his home, instead of wasting strength and energy to go alone. Hysteria and quarrels are foreign to him. You won't see him biting his nails, worried and anxious. He stoically accepts life as it is without complaining.

Taurus likes to be at home, in the familiar comfortable room.

Difficult to accept movement and change, unless there is a Moon in Gemini, Sagittarius, Aquarius or such ascendant. If he lives on rent, he will dream of his own house and achieve his dream. Firmly planted on the ground, he draws strength from it. He's forced to live on the fifteenth floor, all right – but there'll be a box of flowers in the window. On weekends, he will escape from the noise of the city and stand with a fishing rod by a river or lie in a meadow in a nearby forest. He will be intoxicated by the smell of grass and blossoming fruit trees. The connection with the earth is never broken with him. Finally, when he retires, he will throw everything away and make a house in the country.

The typical Taurus has iron health.

It will be very difficult for him to be struck by an illness, from which, however, it will be even more difficult to recover. Because he stubbornly refuses to follow the doctor's prescriptions, and optimism is not his innate quality. Throat, neck, legs, ankles, spine and genitals are his weak points. It must protect them from injuries and infections. As he loves drinking and especially eating, he is inclined to perform. This puts a strain on the heart and leads to poor circulation, varicose veins and even gout. Complaints can become chronic and then the end of the magnificent physique and iron health. Most people born in May can be healthier than everyone else if they manage to control their weight and protect themselves from kidney infections. They need a lot of movement and fresh country air.

There is no point in trying to convince Taurus that he is stubborn.

He believes that he is patient, reasonable and firmly stands his ground. The truth is that Taurus is stubborn in a human way and is not at all pulled like a donkey on a bridge. If the husband decides that the chairs of their loved ones are not comfortable, he will not visit them, no matter how much the wife begs him. Or if the Taurus woman doesn't approve of her man's friends, she simply won't notice them or talk to them. But when it comes to patience, it really is one of Taurus' best qualities. The more troubles and problems pile up, the more the strength with which he bears them seems to increase. He may not complain for years.

His attachment to his family is proverbial.

Loyalty to friends is boundless. And yet he remains a curmudgeon. Nothing can stop his appetite. The bull chows down on everything from fried peppers and turnips to chocolate cake and cream roll. Of course, steak and steak come first. Pour plenty of alcohol over all this culinary variety, and you'll get a picture of Henry VIII at a royal feast. Well, if a Taurus has, say, a Virgo ascendant, they can survive on lettuce, carrots and prune juice. But this is an exception.

Taurus's sense of humor is not the thinnest.

To put it mildly, he prefers to laugh at the fat joke and finds subtle satire and elegant humor more difficult. A cake thrown in his face will bring him to tears of laughter. Rough and half-baked comedies are just to his taste. However, you will rarely find a cruel or vindictive Taurus. If you come across one, there will be an awful lot of planets in Aries in his birth chart. A typical example of such a combination is Hitler. Apparently, the two sun signs do not combine well in one personality. The Taurus characterization would not be complete if we did not consider his attitude to money.

He likes to build his material well-being slowly and surely.

He starts with a solid and strong foundation, then carefully expands his work until he turns a profitable business and accumulates money. At the same time, it strengthens its power, but it is never a goal. The thought that he has her is enough for him. Having secured his future, Taurus can let his subordinates – the various Capricorns and Cancers out there – run his affairs. During this time he will take a nap, pick daisies or look at the pretty girls. The important thing is that everyone knows who owns the pasture.

Not every Taurus is a millionaire, but you won't find one in line for welfare. The money goes to him sooner or later. He values them as he values his belongings and his family. But he is by no means stingy. If you have won his friendship, his generous heart and wallet are open to you. Taurus is impressed by the huge. The bigger a building is, the more impressive it is. In the zoo, he passes the monkeys and feasts on the elephants. He would bravely stand before a tiger, but he is afraid of a mouse.

Being ruled by Venus, Taurus loves the arts.

Nice music and pictures always excite him. Painting often becomes his profession or hobby. Many Tauruses have a developed musical sense. Some become singers, while others sing in the bath and dream of royal palaces. Shades of blue soothe the passions of Taurus. Pink and cyclamen also, but to a lesser extent. However, the same cannot be said for red - ask any matador how the bull reacts to it. The green and brown in nature relax and invigorate him. The greenbacks and the brick house make him secure and content.

The metal of Taurus is copper - an excellent conductor of electricity and heat.

Therefore, he is also capable of lasting love.

While the more emotional ones jostle and jostle for the top spot, this heather's level-headed nature needs no fanfare to get there. Success will always make him prepared. The enigmatic Venus endowed him with a love of luxury, which is why he pays dearly for his valuables and keeps them for the rest of his life, but at the same time he is a sworn enemy of extravagance and extravagance. His home is his fortress – let no one disturb his peace there. As patient as time, as firmly rooted in the earth as the forest, Taurus has the power to move mountains and get his way.
