Taurpia

**SIGN OF THE AESTHETE**

TAUR\* [BRONZE CASTE] // \*PIA [DERSE + LIGHT]

The alternative sway of Taurpia is Taurpio, and the opposite sign is Scorittanius.

The official website defines Taurpia in three segments: sign class, lunar sway, and aspect.

Bronze Signs have a warm and generous disposition, but you might not accuse them of it the first time you meet. They have a tendency toward being withdrawn and slow to open up with new people. This can make them come off as arrogant and cold, like they think they are too good for everyone, although the reality couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, they crave validation and companionship. They are very open-hearted, but if a Bronze Sign decides to dig their heels in, it can be like talking to a wall. More so than any of the other sign classes, Bronze Signs have a marked love of creature comforts. They crave stability and safety, and if they have the means, their homes will be full of beautiful things. Some might accuse them of being hedonistic; they would probably just claim to know what they like. As lovers they can be quite needy, wanting assurances that the affection they feel is reciprocated. Maybe because of this, they have a particular affinity for animals. Don't try to break a Bronze's Sign's routines-they'll resent you for it, even if oftentimes they are too polite to say so.

Derse Dreamers have personalities marked by a distinct and restless skepticism. Whatever their waking circumstances, chances are they will live in a state of dissatisfaction. Rebellion is in their blood, manifesting whether they are fighting back against a fascist dictatorship, or the most recent trend in casual footwear. Derse Dreamers are cerebral and self-aware; they have a far better grasp on the landscape of their own minds than on the world around them, which they can find alienating and confusing. But as so much of their identity is built on control, they will do their utmost to hide any insecurities, often with false humility or self-deprecating humor. They may be inflexible and pessimistic, but they are also great problem solvers, facing conflicts head-on with shrewd, calculating minds. They see one true path among an infinite snarl of wrong ones. They tend to be introverted, but if you win their trust Derse Dreamers are extremely powerful allies. However, they find sincere vulnerability difficult and will often keep people at arm's length. Letting go and living in the moment is hard for a Derse Dreamer; they constantly look toward the future and analyze the past.

Those bound to the aspect of Light are the universe's knowledge-seekers. They are, above all, driven to learn and understand. They are great alchemists, able to take multiple sources of information and synthesize them into something useful. They are scholars and researchers, absolutely dedicated to knowledge for knowledge's sake. They are the ultimate students, and although that might conjure up the image of people sitting around peacefully waiting for knowledge to be brought to them, that couldn't be further from the truth. The Light-bound will go after knowledge with a fierce intensity that others may find distasteful. They aren't overly concerned with laws or norms, either. They often take rules as simple suggestions, instead searching for loopholes or work-arounds. At their best, the Light-bound are resourceful and driven. At their worst they can be fussy, pedantic, and insensitive.

Taurus (from the Greek Ταῦρος) is the second (2nd) of twelve (12) western zodiac signs. It takes inspiration from the zodiac Taurus "The Bull", and people born within the months of April 20th to May 20th are known to be a Taurus. The zodiac Taurus is one (1) of six (6) negative signs, one (1) of four (4) fixed signs, and one (1) of three (3) earth signs alongside Virgo and Capricorn. The sign ruler of Taurus is Venus, the detriment is Mars, the exhaltation is Moon, and the fall is thought nowadays to be Uranus.

The six (6) negative signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces) are known as the signs with a Negative Polarity. This is in reference to the energy that the sign holds. These six (6) signs are traditionally known as the passive, Yin, receptive, or "feminine" signs. The negative signs also include the earth and water triplicities.

The three (3) modalities or modes in reference to a sign is talking about the position it can be found in during each season. The four (4) elements manifests in three (3) modalities: Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. They are also known as the Quadruplicities, because they are grouped with four (4) signs in each group, one sign of each element. Each of the three (3) modes also have specific traits that the signs grouped to them hold or example. Fixed signs are known for their resistance to change, great willpower, and inflexibility. The Fixed signs are Leo (fire), Scorpio (water), Aquarius (air), and Taurus (earth).

The four (4) elements (Air, Earth, Fire, and Water) are attributed to the twelve (12) western zodiac signs, and each group corresponds to a specific group of traits often found in those signs, along with a personality type that was proposed by the Greek physician, Hippocrates. These groups are known as the Four Element Triplicities. One of these groups is Earth which has been known to house the traits of Practicality, Caution, Material World. According to Hippocrates, the Earth element correlates to the Melancholic personality type. Melancholic people are described to be Neurotic Introverts or Unstable Introverts, which means that they tend to be anxious, rigid, pessimistic, and unsocial.

Taurus people are head-strong and practical, they're overprotective of the ones they love, and they know how to keep their ground even in difficult situations. They are grounded and always have their head down to earth. They aren't known for having large groups of friends, and instead pick and choose only a small amount of people to have by their side that they can trust and rely on. They are loyal and responsible, one of (if not the most) reliable of all the zodiac signs. Taurus sticks to their word and won't back down, they can be stubborn and possessive, but this commitment to whatever or whoever they're passionate about is never meant to come off bad and only shows their unwavering support and attention to detail.

Taurus will give their all to whatever it is they're doing, be it a project or a relationship, and they are fuelled by their love and adoration which makes them great partners. The best relationships for a Taurus are with a Virgo or a Pisces person, because they like someone who can motivate and care about them just as the Taurus does for other people. Capricorn and Scorpio also make for great partners for a Taurus because they share a lot of the same desires and wants from life, just like how Aries has the ability to bring out the best in Taurus and the two of them compliment each other wonderfully. Some signs to be wary of though are Leo and Aquarius because they are often just as stubborn as Taurus is and therefore, there's a lot of conflict and fighting on the horizon of these relationships, but it's nothing that the Taurus can't deal with.
