Taurus :: Taurus Rising
Pulling petals off a daisy. “He loves me, he loves me not.” The daisy petals fall. The “truth” is revealed. This symbol speaks of longing, hope and desire— a myriad of different feelings ranging from discomfort to exhilaration. Relationships bring many emotions. Honor these emotions with a high degree of tolerance. Tolerance for shortcomings (your own and someone else’s). Tolerance for confusion. Tolerance for exhilaration. Tolerance is acceptance. Acceptance fosters emotional security. Practice tolerance so that you aren’t reliant on a daisy for your sense of security.

TAURUS :: TAURUS RISING
A whale swimming slowly. Progress. Dedication. Trust in a power greater than yourself. And at the same time, use your ingenuity to produce the result you desire. Move slowly yet continually toward your goal. Don’t worry about a timeline. Conjure up the feeling of accomplishment and then imagine that you already have it. Keep yourself in a slow and steady pace. Remind yourself that you’re supported.

Taurus :: Taurus Rising
Gentle clouds at the peak of a mountain. There is a sense of dreamy focus to this symbol. In the same way, find focus within yourself— focus on your goals, identity, career. But let your attention be light. Let it be easy. Let it be spacious. Don’t stress or strain. Just ask for gentle alignment right now. Use your imagination to visualize yourself at the peak of the mountain— at the moment of completing your goal. Feel the joyous feelings that accompany your success.

Kayaking down a river. Coast downriver, but continue to steer the kayak. Remember that you’re supported by a greater current. You don’t have to do the work all on your own. But you do need to stay on course. And you’re responsible for keeping yourself on track. This means that you have to keep a clear mental direction. Choose your thoughts carefully. Each thought attracts the next thought. Try to summon up the image of coasting down the river. You’re supported. You’re in the flow. You are safe.
