TAURUS: "Born lazy" or simply lack energy?
« on: 03.06.2007 at 17:37 [UT+1] »I'm Taurus sun, and I'll be the first to admit I don't do an awful lot of stuff. Never did.
This is only in my personal life, tho. In any sort of job, mental or physical, I really plugged away and gave it
my all.
Being lazy is supposed to be a trait of Taurus, and especially as I get older (57) I find I have that much lessenergy to even want to do stuff like exercise or being around strangers anymore. (For me, anyway, that doestake energy.)
And I never exactly was a ball of fire with things like sports, but for the odd occasion - or keeping busy for it's
own sake.
How about it, Taurus? Are you "in a rut" too?

charge our selves by being somewhere in the nature, but of course we prefer to do that by eating– tocombine the pleasure with the beneficial. I think that the sign of Mars is also determining the levels of energy .

Although she gets excited when she is talking...most of the time
she just sits there all relaxed...
I'm usually the one telling her let's do this- let's do that
And she just calmly smiles and SLOWLY gets up if she feels like getting up lol
When we're out for lunch or something, after we eat and I'm ready get outof the restaurant she's STILL sitting there packing her purse or something...
My gemini friend and I are already at the door, she's STILL there at the seat lol
I'm not even kidding. We tell her to hurry up and she says "I'm trying to...stop tellingme to hurry up" lolI don't think it's that she is lazy. When she's working she's very precise with her work...
It's in Taurus nature...being able to relax and enjoy each little moment...but it could goover the limit and become laziness...lol

« Reply #3 - on: 03.06.2007 at 18:49 [UT+1] »Hi Catsratz,
Yes!

And no. I'm a taurus sun, ac, venus and mercury. Oh how I like my life to be comfortable and easy!!!

And I love to be indulgant…… a nice chat, or a cappuccino and a good book, a walk in nature, and of course I
also love to shop, though I found out that I enjoy window shopping just as much, because for me it's more theenjoyment of good design and craftsmanship that count, not the "owning" stuff. I love cars, for instance. But if
someone in the neighbourhood drives an Aston Martin or Jag, that's perfect for me. I can look at it and enjoy
the sound, and that's enough to put a big smile on my face.

In many ways, even the smallest things feel like a luxury to me. An unexpected 30 minutes to myself in the
middle of a crazy day. Or the scent of my freshly planted English roses. Or the very rare moments that my kids
are peaceful and loving with each other. Luxury.
But I guess that consciously noticing these luxuries does take a bit of time. Which is why I hate to rush throughthe day. But that doesn't mean that I can't. Once I get moving, there's no stopping me. And I can work like ahorse, and enjoy it too. I very much enjoy being productive. Though not without reason.
They say that Buddha was a taurus. I don't know if this is true, but I think it fits very well.

I do not think Taurus lacks energy. They are just slow. Indeed, when working they can be very committed -- likeoxen pulling a plough. (So, Suzanne, I wouldn't say you're working "like a horse" but rather like an ox!
)
But when enraged -- which doesn't happen very often -- they have the energy to overturn a 10-story building.

Places "obstacles in my way." Sure has! This combined with Taurus sun + weak biorythms? + Pisces rising +living where weather is not often sunny + the Taurus Disease (love of food and resulting weight gain) + not a
lucky life in the past, which has now leached much energy =I see that on my progressed chart my Mercury is now in Gemini. Didn't give me mental energy, but it has
made me indecisive like never before!
Got to be grateful for that LEO MOON that certainly does get me going sometimes

I'm Taurus AC, Moon, N. Node, and couldn't be happier than sitting around a table for hours with friends,
telling silly jokes, eating ridiculous amounts, and drinking red wine. Though I think other people appreciate theability of Taureans to be laid back and to just enjoy life; we have a lot to teach the other signs about the joy
inherent in being material and all of the lovely experience that comes through the senses.

Gender:So what if we're not running around like a crazy Aries or Sagittarius, or feeling the compulsion to philosophizeand harmonize like Libra or Aquarius? Taurus is a builder and sustainer; it's just that once we build something
beautiful and healthful, we're quite content to settle down into it.
And hey, I've learned to love my Taurean influences, they're the center of satisfaction in my chart (lord only
knows how much trouble my 8th house Venus causes).

« Reply #7 - on: 03.06.2007 at 22:00 [UT+1] »I think it really depends on where the rest of your planets are (there are 9 others that are pretty important). I
like creature comforts, but I consider myself anything but lazy. I have to force myself to relax, and left to myown devices I am always working on something. I have a 10th house Sun at 25degrees Taurus. I think it
depends on what house your Sun is, where your rising is, what your moon is doing. No - I don't consider
myself lazy at all. However, when I do manage to force myself to stop and to relax- you can find me trying to
get a really good meal in a really good restaurant, or hiking in the woods, or planting in my flower boxes, orreading by the ocean.
So, I am guessing if you are feeling lazy there may be a 4th house Taurus Sun or a 12th house Taurus sun atwork. I think a 6th house Taurus Sun or a 10th house Taurus sun will end to work like crazy (I know I sure do).
I have a lot of fire and air (11th house moon in Gemini, Venus and Mars both in fire).

« Reply #8 - on: 04.06.2007 at 11:45 [UT+1] »Hi Catsratz, I am a Taurus Sun and Mercury(R). I agree with Sparky about the Mars placement determining
one's drive & action levels to a considerable extent. I myself fluctuate between moments of frenzied activity andtimes when I wouldn't even be bothered to open my mouth to talk, forget any physical exertion!
Sussane & Derek, my Taurean soul delights in ur description of the sensual pleasures, both simple and thehedonistic. How, ohhh how I live for creature comforts...
So here is what I truly think: Placements in Taurus are inclined to make a person unhurried in approach tothings, people & places. Taureans are prone to take it easy if they can get away with it. While other signs(firesigns for eg) have to be told to smell the roses, this Taurean's soul delights in smelling the roses and thenPosts: 121

Gender:not budge on her opinions no matter how ridiculous they are.
She truly lives in her own world, you either treat her the way she expects she should be treated or she will havenothing to do with you. She, on the other hand, looks down at her nose at most folks. Unless you appear tohave money, LOL, then she is all smiles and sweetness.
Needless to say she hasnt many friends...

Re: TAURUS: "Born lazy" or simply lack energ« Reply #11 - on: 04.06.2007 at 16:24 [UT+1] »i have a taurus ascendant and venus in taurus in the 1st house, so i think i'm pretty taurian. but i have aries
sun, virgo moon and mars in leo in the 5th that probably mitigates it a fair amount. i go in fits and starts.
sometimes i have tons of energy and just go-go-go and other times i have completely lazy. seems that theseasons affect me a lot, in the winter (in MN) i don't have much energy.
i do have an ability to "relax" and be lazy in that sense of the word, no matter what. my hubby is an ariesgemini-scorpio, with no earth in him and he loves to point out how easy it is for me to lay on the couch andwatch tv for a couple hours, which he generally cannot/doesn't do.

Gender:also, i think that sometimes taurus is less about "laziness" and more about "efficiency." like at work, there is
this natural sense for me to want to "work smarter, not harder." wasting energy with needless projects ordetails just seems ridiculous to me.

Even writing (and rewriting, thats retros for you, always resomething, reflecting, redoing, reacting, replying, resisting, etc) this has probably taken me an hour. I seem togo through stages in life where i'm really active and then need years to recover (another re). I avoid things, tomy detriment sometimes, and then have to do alot at once to make up for my avoidance.

Yes, when I do get going I tend to stay in motion, and even at housework I tend to be a quick worker!
Getting going sometimes, not that is the "rub." No matter how many good reasons I might have for wanting
to do something that isn't essential, well, Good Luck to it!
But nature does help enormously - the cat, the birds singing outside, even catching sight of the groundhog or asquirrel can pep me up.
The smell of fresh-cut grass, yeah!!!

LOL, Catsratz, my Taurus mother was the hardest working woman I've ever known. She just did it very
SLOWLY. But, she could focus on the task and see it through to completion without becoming distracted, andthat made up for the time a quicker Gemini spent flitting from one facet of the thing to another. And an Aries
would start a whole new major project before the first one got off the ground. So, a lot to be said for Taurean
diligence.

« Reply #16 - on: 05.06.2007 at 21:34 [UT+1] »I think that is where people get confused. I may take forever to make a decision, and not talk to anyone about
it. I will mull it over, and look at it. And mull it some more. There is a reason for that. Once I get started
down a certain path, it is very hard to turn me back around. I call it my staying power, and it comes into gooduse, but that is why you have to make sure the path you are heading down is a good one. That personality
characteristic has gotten me through the roughest of times and situations. I took my MBA from a major school
in Boston at night, while I was working full time while I was communting 2 to 2.5 hours every day. Once mymind was made up I needed to take the degree, I stuck with it, unlike dropping out of the program or giving
up halfway through. Maybe others would have perceived that as slow - I perceive it as deliberate. My own
lessons in Taurus have been about making sure to reconnect with nature (I am really looking forward to having
a garden) and about having a high value system. I tend to be very loyal as well. However, I work like a crazy

Gender:dog Monday through Friday. I have a 10th house sun, moon in gemini, mercury in gemini, leo rising, mars in
leo, venus midheaven, venus in aries, with a virgo north node in the 2nd house (taurus again). For me, Taurus
energy has always been very grounding, and helped to ground all that air and fire into reality. I don't knowwhat I would have done without it. However, with moon and mercury in gemini in the 11th house (the airhouse of aquarius) I am anything but obstinate, and can change my mind if a careful analysis of the facts(virgo) leads me to believe it is the appropriate choice. So - it all goes back to my little theory - it is almost
impossible to stereotype people. Nice thread btw - kudos to whoever started it.

The AC and Moon in the 1st house also make Taurus a happy fun place in my chart...now, if there were only
some way to get rid of Saturn/Sun opposing the Moon from Scorpio...oh well, I guess life would be dull if I

I'm so stubborn and lazy that I haven't accomplished anything in my past 30 years. Capricorn MC doesn't help
me neither because it's fixed on the 9th house which means that spirituality and religion is everything. My
goals are more like spiritual than material. Ok, I didn't have the very best start in my life but some material
goals I do have, even if they are of minor importance when compared with the spiritual goal of mine. Yes, morelazy I am than any of the sun or moon taurus ones
. I like good food, nice drinks, nice people, comfortablechairs and soffas very much and above that, peace foremost.
Peace!

Conjunct with my North Node, i could have made it a life goal (North Node)(Sorry to all prominent Taurus' energy people)
They are very chilled out persons... When in a period of great stress, visit a Taurus' friend, or get a massage, orindeed enjoy nature, some beautiful gardens, and you feel more at inner peace
And although they are labeled as lazy, when a friend or lover is in a crisis, whether it is of emotional, medical orpractical matter, you can count on them...

Re: TAURUS: "Born lazy" or simply lack energ« Reply #24 - on: 10.06.2007 at 14:40 [UT+1] »I think that Pisceans and Librans tend to be more lazier than Taureans.
Pisceans are too busy daydreaming away to be concerned with any boring unimportant duties ie housework.
Also Pisceans/strong Neptune people have very little energy, which can be depleted by other peoples moods,
etc. As a Piscean myself, I know this, but then I do have lots of Sagittarius in my chart - I love my gym!
Libras usually due to a love of luxury. My niece is a Libra, and, not surprisingly, she is nicknamed "The Princess"or "Little Miss Madam" LOL
I notice that Leos and Capricorns can go through lazy phases - usually if things have gone wrong in their life,and rather than admit to that, they just hide behind phrases like, "just chill" or "I can't be bothered" or "I'mjust taking it easy..."I've yet to meet a lazy Gemini!
