Taurus and intuition

I know this is something we're generally not know for. But could particular chart placements strengthen a Tauruses intuition, perhaps if they have a lot of water in their chart?

What are some Taurus experiences with this?

Very very true! Thank you... And great to hear from someone with a Libra moon too.

What about when you have a gut feeling about something? Do you think we "feel" certain things because its true, or because we've ovrnalayzed to the point that we imagine something is real? If that makes any sense...

Jeez, overanalyzed lol

Being a Taurus sure does have it's perks, for example I'm rarely wrong about anything. The degree to which I am usually right, often annoys those around me and has earned me the "know it all" reputation. This is especially true when I am Investigating something as things tend to pop out at me, naturally.

People often call me the "good luck charm" as when I pick a Lottery Scratcher, I always win. Now it may be a free Ticket, or $ 1, but when I stare at the Scratcher I have the ability to determine if it's a loser or a winner. The only time I have ever been wrong was when I ignored my instinct and picked another one, instead.

So people whether they be co-workers, family, friends etc often have me bless their Tickets thinking that I have some sort of special ability to turn it from a loser to a winner. However in reality I'm a Counter, that and my aforementioned observation skills allows me to determine the likely hood of a lose or win situation.

When I'm face to face with someone, they cannot stop me from figuring them out, I can see right through them, even the deception they attempt to throw at me.

Ha I have the know it all rep too!

Anomalous, do you think placements in your chart give you those abilities?

For me, it's kind of based on consistency. People have natural routines and ticks. I pick up on those fairly quickly. So when they do something out of the ordinary... I catch that too. And at a certain point, those out of the ordinaries become routine too.

Its like a lie detector test. You learn the base line so that you can easily catch the abnormalities.

a strong yes and a weak no. Yes because I can usually determine what a person is a like upon meeting them; within 5 minutes of talk I have an idea of what to expect (that usually doesn't steer me wrong).

But I am sad to say that sometimes I will have a bad feeling about something and ignore the feeling only to have it bite me in the butt later; usually following the feeling requires me to move away from my comfort zone. soo... long story short, as long as I don't ignore my intuition i'm okay. It's also important that i'm not in a stressed, anxious but calm and relaxed state of mind.

My mars is also in scorpio/moon in sag.

AB, I wish I had your luck with the lottery.

No.

I'm a facts kind of guy, it would be purely speculation on my part and I'm not having any of it.

I have Moon trine Neptune and I feel like I absorb a ton of stuff from people and places. I always have strong intuition about a person's character, feel repelled by perceived/felt shadiness in individuals and stay away from them, feel overwhelmed in crowds, etc. It can make me paranoid though. I also feel like I'm really good at reading body language and noticing slight deviation from normal patterns of behavior like phenyx said.

For me personally;

Telepathy is very strong. I can pick up on those in the 3D and those that have transitioned...
Energy Empath; very sensitive to and work with energy.
Astral projection and out of body stuff.
Intuitive and observant, like what has already been mentioned. A natural tendency to analyze everything to death. Penetrating. Very easy to dig into the psyche of another, pick up on behavioral patterns, read body language. Easy to read people this way too.

Aspects I believe are connected:
Sun-Pluto (minor)
Sun and Mars-Kaali
Sun-Persephone-Sita
Virgo Moon conjunct IC, opposite a Pisces stellium of Pallas/Black Moon Lilith/Proserpina and a bunch of other points linked to mediumship/telepathy that are stacked on top of each other within 2 degrees, and right on my MC (in Pisces).
Moon conjunct the IC in a grand trine with my Sun and Jupiter, which also have related asteroids attached.
Moon/IC/MC-Uranus
Mercury-Pluto
Mercury-Neptune
Mercury-Uranus
Mercury is my 4th and 12th house ruler, and my North Node is also in the 12th conjunct Chiron and Siva.
Scorpio stellium linked to those other aspects.
Certain placements in the 12th house.
There are more, but this is enough to get the point across.

id say my natural intuition is not as strong as my observational skills. i meet people and psychoanalyze them like everything/one else. its like a science experiment all day every day. thats to say i can get my gemini moon to focus and not just ignore what i find unimportant lol yeah gemini moon in 12th doesn't help i dont think lol maybe it does idk i work better and more comfortably on a more tangible realm for sure. i trust what is tangible. ive had strong feelings that have alerted me to danger before especially under personal threat or threat of a loved one. im sure something in my chart both helps and hinders my intuition but ive often wanted that of a pisces or scorpio ive known. i think the water in my chart helps but id be curious to have someone more seasoned have a look.

This is all so interesting!

Thanks for that link HotBeefy!

This is very true for me.
Not in regards to the lottery of course, but my interaction with people in general.
The only time I have been wrong was when I chose to ignore my instinct.

Thus, why I never jump into a situation too quickly.

I am very observant and an active listener. I can spot a fast talking bullsh&tter with my eyes closed.
I also have the capability to feel out a situation or an individual before I proceed with anything else.

But as I am often chastised for appearing too standoffish and sometimes anti-social....

You will thank me once an individual's wicked intentions are truly exposed.

It is then you will say I was right all along.

Same - this is big with me. These are the people that wind up having issues with bulls, accusing us of being snobs, or boring or whatever. They never get to see the real me, because I see the fakeness from step one. When I notice an agenda in a person, especially when first meeting? Someone who talks way too much, self-promote, and doesn't want to listen or actually get to know who I am? Done. You will never know me. Someone who is trying to get me to join some personal mission, hobby, or career of theirs, or follow them in any way? Bye. Attention-whore, loud/boastful, shallow....its over. I will put a huge wall up and they basically cease to exist for me. If ever they do the work to scale that wall, and earn my interest or trust, and this has happened, I'll open up then but very slowly and probably in a half-hearted manner.

Honestly, I go off vibes mostly with people in interactions. I gravitate towards people who I'm simply comfortable around. If there's tension between us - anxiety, awkwardness, distrust, any sort of negativity at all - I will usually not bond or open up with that person.

my grandmother was a Taurus she had killer instincts, I don't know if planetary placements have any affect but she was great at reading people ...

Yes, TLS, you put it perfectly. There are just certain people I meet for the first time that I don't like, and I'm done with them from the start.

Then there's group situations where I meet someone new and tell my friends I don't like them, and they're like why, they're so cool. Months later...I told you so.

Ironically, this skill tends to fail when it comes to romantic relationships, when I would need it most. Rose colored glasses, perhaps? But then eventually it kicks in again and I can see what I couldn't see before.

Yeah, join the rose tinted club!! Killer instinct or intuition or whatever you want to call it is 100% in business... Yet romantically... I'm shocking... Well, correction... The judgement and instinct is there but either I don't listen to it or what is probably more accurate is I assess 'relationships' or 'emotions' from a fact based, more logical and rational angle and make decisions based on the info I have at the time... Trouble is, I don't think relationships or emotions or other people in general can be assessed in that way.

Not sure if that is right but I'm coming to that conclusion plus having a tolerance level which is at either end doesn't help!

Have you ever felt an absolute overwhelming dread that tripped the panic alarms in your brain?

Others on the list....

People who stare at you blankly and show no reciprocation of emotion whatsoever. I get this a lot. Not sure if its a mirror-neuron malfunction or what, but I can't handle it. Were you not listening? I just told a joke to bring a little ease to this awkward encounter. Please at least fake a laugh for me. Virgos are good at this. They also seem to dred the awkward silences....

Yes, I hate that. If I gave a look like that, its because I think you're stupid. But if I am nice enough to smile at you, you better damn well return it!

I think love dulls our senses lol

^^^ no shit Sherlock!! Oh and not a Taurus but gave my pennies worth due to being a life long member of the rose tinted club!!

My intuition has always been my life guide. Usually it would give me a feeling about a decision or a person that defied logic or it went against my "manners". For example when I made bad career decision for a better position that paid $ 15k more, gave me more responsibility and prestige, I had a bad feeling about the position for MONTHS before I got it and when I was offered the position it seemed crazy to turn it down. The first 6 months on the job i was depressed, crabby, sensitive, and moody; turns out all it was, was a regurgitation of all the repressed feelings I had about that position. It turned out to be the most miserable 3 years of my life. smh.

I've also forced myself to be friends with people despite my intuition telling me not too; that person was nice enough and people seemed to think she was cool but I think I tried to repress everything I didn't like about her. In the end that friendship turned out to harm me in indirect ways. I finally admitted to myself that I couldn't stand her. I didn't like her views, how she lived her life or her ignorant opinions. She was a degenerate.

LISTEN TO YOUR INTUITION, BULLS!!!! IT WILL SAVE YOU FROM A WORLD OF HURT AND PAIN.

I've been thru both these situations and all the same feelings of apprehension. Very very true!

@ph876 - lol... I was reflecting this morning reflecting on my past bad experiences that resulted from bad decisions. Bad decisions that were made after ignoring my intuition. It's still a struggle today because sadly it's hard to let go want logically makes sense and do what "feels right".
