The sign of the Builder or Producer
"This is noBull!"
Venus is beauty. It symbolises the harmony and radiance of a rare and elusive quality - magnificence itself. It is refinement and delicacy, softness and charm. It is stance and style. In astrology and dance, Venus indicates the grace, balance and style of the Waltz in all its elegant, aesthetic splendour. Where Venus goes, the Waltz flows, wallowing in its charm; a gentle drawing in of energy and a total need for satisfaction and completion. It is a special touch that finishes off rough edges, like the soft falling of leaves to the earth in Autumn. It is affection and sensitivity, and it is always the place for the elusive phenomena: LOVE and RUMBA.
So Venus describes every sign's sense of what is beautiful and loving. Poorly developed, it is vulgar, tasteless and self-indulgent. But its ideal is the flame of spiritual love - Aphrodite, goddess of love, and the sweetness and power of personal beauty. Every Taurus and Libra dancer is blessed and filled with the strength and charisma of Venus allure.
This is no Bull Dance, just a mild emulation of the male cow preparing its ferocious attack; kicking up dust, puffing and fuming and bucking its horns with the same deliberation of a totally immersed gum-boot dancer. A somewhat exaggerated description of the average Taurus temperament, but a very tame account of this sign when dancing to the strains of that hot number, “Pushed too far” – WARNING, don’t push them too far.
Blowing their diet with a binge and gormandising
as would a ravenous raven, are the Bull’s greatest passions - scrunch,
munch, crunch. When this sign tucks its head, legs and arms in and comes
rolling along, you can be sure the Taurus appetite has run riot. What we
recommend is our DanceInfo weight-reducing diet - without sacrificing those
delicious calories, take one 5-minute session of spirited
Swing before breakfast; sizzle through the Samba
during lunch for 4 minutes and 25 seconds, Cha-Cha after dinner and give
yourself a magnum Mambo night-cap treat of 2 minutes and 10 seconds.
Taureans are extremely loyal, and their stable manner is something other signs greatly admire. What’s more, they have a tremendous feel for music and the arts. When teaching this subject to dance, the adroit teacher knows that their initial slowness is more a help than a handicap, the Bull’s keen clairvoyant insight is – get there slow but sure. But when a Bull is a fast learner then a Bull is a very, very fast learner. Their prediction of a rosy dance future is seen through the technique of sound basics. "How" our Bull queries, "can anyone with all his/her faculties intact, ever conceive to build a house by laying the roof first then putting up the foundation?"
What streak would you say, incites anger or waves the red cloak of fury before the bustling Bull? Yes, you’ve guessed it, the green-eyed monster JEALOUSY, and we blame this sign’s ruler Venus for that.
Remember not to invite this sign to your party. Because of the Bull's strong, silent attitude, their lengthiest monologues will probably be "Yep," "Nope," "Thanks," "Hi," "Goodbye," and frequently "Uh-uh," a drowned substitute for "No." On the other hand, if our Taurean inherited a strong Gemini, Aries or Sagittarius influence at birth, you may consider that invite to add a bell to your ball. But, the typical Taurean prefers to move deliberately and speak sparingly - in a word, ungregarious.
Like The Rock of Gibraltar, they stand solid and steady and nothing disturbs that tranquillity - is that boring or what? You can hurl beer over him (a waste) or light a fire between her toes, beat on his chest (don't try hers) with clenched fists, glare at her hypnotically or bellow at the top of your lungs…Taurus won't budge an inch.
Once their mind is set, they fold their arms calmly and dig in their heels - more like a mule than a bull? Wave not the red cape of fury at this constellation, unless well-versed in the dramatic, staccato actions of the Paso Doble - the dance of the matador… fiery, flared nostrils, ears pinned back, hooves stampeding… Braced for the charge of the Bull in arrogant stance, you flick your cloak to the left into a Cape Turn & Sur Place. Followed by a Chassé to R & L and Appel, then whip into a finale with a Grand Circle … the Bull is calm and the world is safe again, OLE!.
Taurus is strongly attracted to the opposite sex, but aggressive pursuit of any kind of pleasure isn't built into their plan of action. They prefer to attract others to them. Why should the male cow waste energy chasing mortals across the mountainside?
Of all the signs of the dancers' Zodiac, Taureans are perhaps the most diligent and determined. They are work-a-holics, always sticking with something once started. They are generally thorough people and are careful to avoid making mistakes. Patient, the Taureans know how to bide their time. If something doesn't work out as scheduled, they will wait until the appropriate moment comes along, then forge ahead. To Bulls and Cows of Venus, so elegant, so arrogant it's... "Don't tell us, show us how diligent and industrious you are - PRACTISE your dancing, and while you're at it, have a happy time and may you enjoy many more hard, gruelling years of slog and dance."
Dance: As in romance, the risk is dicey, unbalanced. Too much dominance from both B & A, allowing little air to breathe or space to manoeuvre. Here the Bull needs room to stride while Aries demands action to express inner exuberance and emotion. Give the Bull a Cancerian dance partner. Starts slowly - Rumba. Leading and Following perfectly in tune with each other; Cuban style and basic elements are working well: hips swinging rhythmically. Arm movements and pattern construction synchronised and controlled. There is balance, depth, power and understanding. This one is determined to improve as a pair; relishing a challenge, strives to win with uncanny intuition, both know how to support, when to help. There is superb timing… Slow, Quick, Quick, Slow.
LOVE: Taurus needs Aries. Affections are generous, emotions deep. They live to love, are equipped to love. There is determination, strength, expanse, depth. Time is the key - it gives this one rhythm. Time settles, offering direction. The stronger the relation, the longer the duration. There is great potential, miles of happy co-existence. Love can grow, will survive. These grapes must distil to a rare vintage - must keep it sober to keep it together.
PASSION: They are tremendous. Exotic, imflamed energies are released. It serves to replenish, to inspire, to nurture; there is an outpouring. This one relates to touch, to close contact with feelings reaching out to every fibre of the central nerve. It's a well-intentioned, high-level emotional embrace which offer continuity and Physical exchange pursuit of complete fulfilment.
