Rachel on her third birthday

...it just so happens to be a very special person's 14th birthday today.

Happy Birthday, Miss R., my creative, gentle and sweet little bull!

1 May 1995

*******

You were born on a Monday

under the astrological sign Taurus.

Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign, ruled by Venus. As the second sign in the zodiac, the Taurus individual is a stable, conservative, home-loving individual who will always make a loyal friend or partner. Famous and historical figures sharing the Taurus traits include Ulysses Grant (April 27), Harry Truman (May 8), George Clooney (May 6), and Audrey Hepburn (May 4).
The Taurus personality is one of the most easily recognizable of the zodiac. These are steady, reliable people who only rarely get frazzled or upset. Like a bull, the Taurus personality will almost never lose course and will remain level no matter what chaos surrounds him. Taurus knows his own strength but usually handles situations with dignity and self-control. Push her too far, though, and the Taurus individual can suddenly turn into a raging bull, and once this happens, she will be difficult to calm. And oh yes, lest we forget, the Taurus individual is stubborn - the most stubborn of all the zodiac signs.

Taurus likes the good life, but tends to be careful with money, slowly building up wealth as she goes. Not all Taureans are rich, but you won't find many at the very bottom of society.
*For those with a Taurus child, one thing to remember from the start is that you will never, ever be able to steer this child in a direction in which he does not want to go. Taurus children will generally obey the rules and will follow a steady course in school., usually somewhere in the middle of the class. The child will appreciate comfortable surroundings in his bedroom and consistency in his schedule. Don't rock the boat by changing things around too much in the Taurus child's domain. Encouraging social interaction is good for the Taurus child, as he is quite comfortable being alone, and will generally not seek out friends and playmates on his own. There's a definite selfish trait in these children, so teaching sharing and concern for others from an early age is essential. These children like material possessions from day one, so provide as many quality toys as possible, and you will have a happy child who does not get lonely or need excessive attention. Watch out for a lazy streak in the Taurus child - they may be slow to walk or crawl, and they may be content to play in one spot in their room for long periods. Find stimulating activities to get this child out of his chair, as he probably won't motivate himself in this respect.

Taurus in any relationship is stoic, stable, and dependable. These are the folks we go to for support when we are in a crisis. However, as the most stubborn sign in the zodiac, you will find that your Taurus friend can often be maddeningly inflexible and unable to see any view but his own. However, if you can avoid those types of situations, the Taurean friend will be a loyal one who will enjoy nights out on the town in nice bars and restaurants, and who is good with his hands and will be willing to help with any tasks you are unable to do yourself. His house and yard will be well-appointed and comfortable, and he will likely be well-set financially, if not overtly wealthy. Just remember, that with Taurus, the by-words are stable and reliable, and you can hardly go wrong by choosing a Taurus friend!
