Taurus synonymous with deep thoughts and depression?

What do the Taureans here think? Do you think based on our personality, traits and the way we see the world we are more prone to anxiety and depression, when compared to all the other Zodiacs. I understand that Capricorn has the most legendary mood swing and that they go back in and out. But, I think when a Taurus is down, they are down for good and its hard to move them from that state of mind.

It's like if a Taurus never experiences sadness, he will be like a kid who's happy and ignorant all the time, but when they do get a taste they become fearful and bitter. Scared of ever trusting others and even scared of trusting themselves, feeling like they are powerless is THE WORST feeling for a bull. Especially, when you just can't do anything about it. No matter how much work, money and time you throw at it, if a problem can't be fixed the bull will blame themselves and dig themselves into depression.

Any thoughts?

@aquaboy84 Taurus are the most homest and straight forward people you will meet. We may be struggling with a lot and inevitably hurting people in our path to figuring ourselves out, but we meant no harm. A great example would be that we're like huge fumbling giant that whilst trying to figure themseleves out, steps on top of people, hurt them because they don't know their strength and impact towards the world.

Caps legendary mood swings? Since when lol?

Im not a Taurus, but Ive been depressed for a loonnnggg time and I would not really talk too much about it to my Taurus friend, because according to my mother and sis, my issues become theirs so I didnt want to potentially burden him. I did try to open up to him once about some things and it seemed he got borderline angry or anxious, which was a total blow to my feelings.

But he's been through alot too, so much that I wonder how he copes or deals with things. It might be why I occassionally sense a darkness in him. We are no longer talking....its been three weeks...and I want to let him know Im not abandoning him, but at the same time its probably a release of stress for both of us. He posted on his facebook he felt ill, and i want to check on him, but I feel Ive been reaching out more than I should. He stayed in his shell. Had a lot of feelings, but was mute.

Yes, whenever you tell a Taurus your problems, we rake our brains trying to figure out how to solve yours (at least for me and some of the friends I meet). We try to give you a practical solution or help you figure out how to get through it, in the best way possible. But, for me, when I can't find you a solution, I get frustrated! HAHA Idk, the capricorn mood swing was something I read on the other post, my bad.

Yeah well I seem to pick up on energy quickly. My mood changes..... But yeah I get down in the dumps. I often just listen to music or Netflix.. I try not to distance myself and like to be around people more interesting... like Aquarius, Gemini, Aries get me more cheerful.

I am not superficial just been through alot to who I want in my small ass circle. Honest good hearted people..

Because we bottle up feelings. We've been hurt in the past, so it's hard to let people in. 😭
Yup, this. 😐

But everyone is not out there to hurt you. You have to let someone in at some point or you'll live a lonely life of keeping people at a distance, don't you think?
If they really wanted us to let it in, they should go through all those test for our security & able to be trusted. We have been through our scars by their betrayals & proceed to hurt us from the past that we are to cautious who we let them in.

I don't think thats right either Nevermore. The world is a big place and its unfair for us to test the people we love no? I don't know, but thats what I've been thinking about lately. The scars and betrayal weren't made by them, so why are we holding them responsible for it?

Same here! I have a Leo friend who is so supportive and an amazing friend. At some point in my life, I withdrew myself from everyone and didn't keep in touch much for 1-2 years, to him particularly 3-4+ years. When I did contact him out of the blue, he was so welcoming, so warm and so embracing as a friend. It was as if a day hasn't passed between us and to this date, he still wishes me a happy birthday each year, talks about his life even if its one sided and he's obviously much much more successful in life and happier than me (good looks, fancy big finance job)... So its one of those things, where I'm just so grateful I managed to do something right and get a friend like that. I might not be where he is at, but listening to his stories and just always being included to his fancy events, friends and how he would always promote me... feels really good and helps me cope with a lot of things in my life.

Your moon is in Pisces so it also "soaks up" other people's problems and dilemmas which then become yours. As pisces has no real barriers it wants what is best for mankind and can be easily deceived by unscrupulous people because of its huge love for mankind. It wants to help. The saddness and destruction in the world from one human to another will also affect a pisces influenced person ie moon Saturn and venus. These people need time out in their "own world" to attain some kind of "peace" even if only for a while.

These people need to be with people who will "uplift them" especially if their placement is a pisces moon. My leo moon does its best too help but Saturn in pisces is awful and sometimes I can't help but be overwhelmed my Saturn. As for my venus, well I have been hurt in relationships, so I stay solo for many years.. I always end up in "scrupulous " hands or the man turns out to be nothing as I "imagined".

Take time out for yourself. 😄

@busyeyes88 Thank you so much for the kind reply! Yes, soaking everything up is very troublesome, but I'm really glad I have some Pisces in me for better or for worst. Since, it really like what you said helps me believe in the goodness in others and are always giving everyone the ben

@busyeyes88 I think my message was cut. But anyway what I wanted to say the TL;DR version was basically, following my heart to do good has often times been a blessing in disguise. Even when at the time it felt as if it was a dead end, burnt bridge or being taken for granted, it always end up alot alot better. Signing up to this forum included! Just a few days ago, I felt lonely and miserable and just down right icky. However, after signing up and posting, reading your replies, I have never felt so surrounded by people, being related to and being able to relate to your stories. Thank you so much for all the positive feedbacks and honest opinion hehe, really awesome community!

You don't find someone like that often as a friend..Lucky.. well I have Aquarius moon so I'm detached and tend to just drift and if I drift off deep enough I'll be gone for awhile..then come back maybe same group or different.
OMG I DID THAT TOO! At some point back in high school and also now in college, there would be a phase where I thought everyone around me was pompous and obnoxious ignorant peeps. I would withdraw myself and hang out more with the anti-social kids with less friends and discover my interests. For example, no one would believe I'm a big Manga/ Game fan and people gets so surprised when they found out, I have those hobbies. These kids who are less popular, helped me foster that interest but at some point I thought they were too much too. So I would withdraw deep again and go elsewhere, whatever I fancied. LOL.

My response did not appear but it's not about what others should do meaning go through years of testing just to be trusted by you. I love Taurus people, I do but to put others through emotional roller coaster while it's being viewed by you is not completely fair, is it? Meanwhile, always remember that others are testing you as well. It goes both ways.

It's exactly why we test people. You don't even know it. And it's done on purpose. We also need stronger types not weaker...

Yes I do know! First hand! I have been dealing with a Bull and I am still being tested but slowly I am pulling back. I can only take and give so much without getting anything back, know what I mean? It shouldn't have to be this hard especially when it's about your feelings. So until I get what I want, if I ever do; I'm living my own life and keeping my options open. 🙂

People born in May tend to be more prone to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and recurrent depressions. Less so in April but still high. Spring is a peak season for seasonal affected disorders.
Where did you get that from? (I'm born in May)

I think that would be best lol. Personally, I think once a Taurus has their life together and figured things out, they'll test people less, because they are more secure with themselves and where they want to go. Much like returning to their original true position during their younger days (assertive, dominant and visionary). Its just that life bogs them down and they get lost in their way. After all, Taurus is supposedly one of the more fixed and most stable sign in the Zodiac. I think its only true that what you saw in the first place and was attracted to is there, its just developed differently for everyone (you can either be patient on them to work it out, or find someone who has it better).

I think Forrest Gump weren't kidding when he said life is like a box of chocolate. Only some people get the "In RDD an almost significant May peak (OR=1.04, 95% CI=0.99–1.1, p=0.08) and a significant November deficit (OR=0.93, 95% CI=0.88–0.99, p=0.02) were observed", RDD laced ones.

I'm a Taurus sun with Pisces venus and Leo moon. I feel things very deeply, and struggle with anxiety in the very least.

I feel that, at least for me personally, opening up and trusting someone can be difficult, unless I "sense" that they are a kindred spirit. Even so, I've been badly burned by that sense of security.

There are days when I feel that nothing is good enough, no matter how hard I try. *shrug*
I have a Gemini in Venus and its killing me. The fact that Taurus wants stability, Pisces is emotional and Gemini is bipolar... I'm like a walking multiple personality disorder time bomb waiting to explode.

YES, I hate it so much when people tell you that they understand your pain, your past only to blow up when you show symptoms. Its like dude, I understand you have cancer but don't want to deal with the cost, the time waiting on you for chemo or your bitter mood and sickening body. YOU CAN'T SAY YOU UNDERSTAND, when really all you are doing is only knowing (because you're curious) and not coping/ understanding/ believing.

Met a Taurus girl online, looking at her picture make me so emotional. She doesnt look sexy, has big knockers or whatever just that simple calm innocent demeanor. I think Taurus are really stable people which gives off very positive vibe, i can tell u guys are as stubborn as aquas too.
Been working out here as well! Hoping to be the ideal earthy simple lumberjack kind of guy lols.

You may be right. Patience is so hard to come by although I know that I have been but I have a fear of being patient and getting nothing in return after all that I have given to him. So, in order not to get depressed I try and keep myself busy. It's very hard to let go of someone that means a lot to you but in this case, I don't have a choice.

i am familiar with these thoughts but you are not truly giving if you expect something in return. you give because it is right not because you will eventually receive a reward.

You are right. Absolutely correct. I don't expect anything in return at all. So I will rephrase that and say that I am afraid that I have opened myself up, opened my heart (for the first time in many many years) and he pulls away without an explanation. That's what hard and I keep myself busy yet when he comes back around, I block what I feel for fear of the same results. Dealing with a Taurus Bull is not easy emotionally but I have kept my mind occupied with other things and my future business. So I am staying busy to say the least while drinking wine. 😉

i do understand what you are saying. i really do. i deal with the same emotion quite often. to me, i rationalise by reminding myself that a life lived closed is not a life lived. it's incredibly hard to do that when you don't know what awaits you on the other side. remaining closed, you can predict the outcome. it's comfortable but we're here to push ourselves. the growth in of itself makes it worth it. so it doesn't matter what he does. open yourself up for you. the strength you'll gain will trump whatever his response is. 🙂

Lately, what I've been doing to these people is bite my tongue and nod and smile. Surprisingly, it actually works but is killing me. Since, I'm so used to being an active listener always, looking for problems and figuring things out. When sometimes, its good just to listen to someone else's problem without analysing it or trying to find the silver lining from it.

Meh, not gonna do it often though (unless that person is super special to me), its way too tiring to pay attention and not do anything about it.

Have to agree with Jeane on this one. Some of the choices I've made in my life that ended up hurting me the most, has turned out to be some of the most valuable experience I've gotten to grow and fix myself. All in all you have to think of it this way (I'm still in my twenties go figure): You only live once, you can either laugh and cry the hardest or just do everything in moderation,but either way life goes on. During my early teens I thought, getting someone angry, having an ex will haunt me for life, but what I realised is that the world is so big and its only as small as you make it. With the internet, facebook, e-mail, these forums and other websites, you can practically meet someone new instantly. I'm planning to take my masters in a few years in another country, and I can't wait how many more new people I will meet and so on and so on.

My opinion is to let this person hurt you/ into your heart so you can either move on and change your mind/ move on to find someone who won't hurt you or find out that he is the love of your life. Either way, you deserve someone that will be consistent and stable for you, if that is what you're looking for. If he can be that good, if he can't then don't force it or expect him to change.

You are right. Absolutely correct. I don't expect anything in return at all. So I will rephrase that and say that I am afraid that I have opened myself up, opened my heart (for the first time in many many years) and he pulls away without an explanation. That's what hard and I keep myself busy yet when he comes back around, I block what I feel for fear of the same results. Dealing with a Taurus Bull is not easy emotionally but I have kept my mind occupied with other things and my future business. So I am staying busy to say the least while drinking wine. 😉
i do understand what you are saying. i really do. i deal with the same emotion quite often. to me, i rationalise by reminding myself that a life lived closed is not a life lived. it's incredibly hard to do that when you don't know what awaits you on the other side. remaining closed, you can predict the outcome. it's comfortable but we're here to push ourselves. the growth in of itself makes it worth it. so it doesn't matter what he does. open yourself up for you. the strength you'll gain will trump whatever his response is. 🙂
Have to agree with Jeane on this one. Some of the choices I've made in my life that ended up hurting me the most, has turned out to be some of the most valuable experience I've gotten to grow and fix myself. All in all you have to think of it this way (I'm still in my twenties go figure): You only live once, you can either laugh and cry the hardest or just do everything in moderation,but either way life goes on. During my early teens I thought, getting someone angry, having an ex will haunt me for life, but what I realised is that the world is so big and its only as small as you make it. With the internet, facebook, e-mail, these forums and other websites, you can practically meet someone new instantly. I'm planning to take my masters in a few years in another country, and I can't wait how many more new people I will meet and so on and so on.

This is great advice. It has been very difficult and challenging to say the least. I never thought of it this way. Unfortunately we aren't speaking at the moment but I will keep this in mind for sure. Thank you both!
