I was telling someone on Twitter that I felt self-conscious on my blog lately, my posts tending to be extra rambly but even before I said that she mentioned she’d been enjoying my posts lately so for some people, I’m doing something right 🙂
Mercury entered Taurus today and I wonder if this will unramble my upcoming blog posts and make them more firm! Mercury is the mind. Let’s see…

On the way home tonight, on the subway, a young man was singing and dancing around the train. He was a little bit confrontational but made sure to mention that he wasn’t crazy. Just having fun. Eventually he sat down and lit up a joint, puff puff puffing away. For years I’ve wondered if pot is actually legal in Brooklyn.
Brooklyn primarily smells like two things, pot and pee.
This guy looked like Taurus but the stocky variety. And he was all Venusy, doing a little gyration around the metal subway poles.
He didn’t seem or feel dangerous but you never know. Whenever there is a freaky person on the train, if I feel something truly “off” I switch cars or get off the train entirely sometimes. This guy just seemed mellow, high, and puffy silly.
Still, I scanned the car for men. Big men. Strong men. Solid Taurus Men who could take him down if he proved to be a problem. No such luck. Mostly women except for one young guy across from me. I checked him out. Yeah. This guy and all us chicks could take Mr. Puffy Silly down if need be.
Me and young guy were trying to keep from laughing. Sometimes that happens. Some lunatics on the train are so hilarious but God forbid they see you laugh — they will come up to you and want to make friends. Young guy smiling at me behind his Ray Bans. Typical New York City Subway Moment. Strangers on a train.

When I think of Taurus, I think of the Taurus that I know rather than theory.
They can indeed stay stuck in patterns for YEARS and they can talk about the past to rival any Cancer, as though it were yesterday.
They make good friends. They need people. Don’t befriend a Taurus unless you plan to be present for them. They are sensitive.
The ones I know are also obsessed by beauty. And no matter how fucked up a Taurus may be (and any human of any Sun Sign can be or become fucked up) there is still a dependable core inside them.
Here’s a question for the Taurus or Taurus-lovers out there: how lazy are they really? One Taurus friend of mine swears by her laziness. But I wonder if you’ve noticed this across the board. Thoughts?
Would Taurus rather laze and loaf more than any other sign? Do some Taurus resent this stereotype?

Astrology Readings! Tarot! Testimonials!
Yes, I will be doing Mini-Readings (or my usual longer ones) for the New Moon Solar Eclipse! Late Taurus/Early Gemini very important!

As a Taurus I have been accused of being lazy, but I don’t feel I am. I do procrastinate a lot, and I don’t like to be rushed. I like to take time over things and do things properly rather than half baked. I love my downtime, perhaps that is indulgent. Maybe it’s an earth thing…a more solid approach to living. I have a lot of Taurean friends…I can spot them a mile off because generally they have this no nonsense, down to earth quality, very honest, approachable and real, there is an authenticity there which I like to have around me.
I wouldn’t call us lazy. I think we just inherently know when we need to seek relaxation and comfort to recharge our batteries. I work, but I’d love to be able to win the lottery so I could actually have enough time to fulfill all of my dreams.
I was thinking bulls aren’t lazy but I think they actually are. Remember Ferdinand the Bull? A children’s story… My brother in law, Taurus sun/asc & Scorpio moon is definitely not lazy exactly. This is a man who gets up at 4:30 am so he can get to his office early and be productive (corporate attorney). He’s home before 5 so that he can play with his son, feed him dinner, bathe him, read him stories and put him to bed at 8. But he doesn’t like to exercise, he’ll do it if he’s feeling chubby (which is rare when you’re 6’5″) but then it’s too much exercise. Hard core, injury inducing type exercise. And he won’t see his doctor because he doesn’t want to take time off work. This despite the possibility he’s developing high blood pressure and has what may be the worlds best health insurance. But he still goes to every one of his son’s doctor appointments. And he doesn’t seem obsessed with beauty at all. Aesthetics, on the other hand…he likes a certain type of undershirt, a specific cut of suit, type of shoe, don’t even think of buying him a tie he hasn’t admired in your presence – he’ll be gracious but won’t wear it. He drinks single malt scotch, the kind they keep locked up but would rather shower at the executive gym in his building than waste water at home. Maybe they only expend energy when things matter personally to them? According to whatever algorithm they employ. 😉
Hmmm
My sister is a Taurus sun but she’s about as far from lazy as it gets. But maybe that’s her Virgo moon? And my other close Taurus friend is an insane workhorse when it comes to her career but COMPLETELY lazy about socializing.
as fast paced as i may be with Taurus Merc in 5th house, i can also be somewhat lazy.. i like just lounging around and relaxing (more than others!)… some friends/people around me are a lot more active than i am and it just gets me anxious!! lol
Haven’t noticed any particular Taurean lazyness. (Comfort – yes!!) Tauruses I know are all very “get thing done” types. On their chosen speed of course. 🙂 But they are all doing things/working fields they really like so may be they need solid self-motivation?
