Taurus...the desire to be...the appreciation of earthly sensation. Spring seeks and finds fullness. The air is rife with the melodies of life...in the rushing of the stream and the harmonious trill of the bird. The Earth is lush and green...an inviting place. The community tends to crops and hands are dug deep into the soil. Domesticated animals breed. May Day is an abandoned celebration of sensuality and delight in all that the Earth has to offer.
...And it was morning as God stood before his twelve children and into each of them planted the seed of human life. One by one, each child stepped forward to receive the appointed gift...
"To you, Taurus, I give the power to build the seed into substance. Your job is a great one, requiring patience, for you must finish all that has been started or the seeds will be wasted to the wind. You are not to question nor change your mind in the middle nor to depend upon others for what I ask you to do. For this, I give you the gift of Strength. Use it wisely." ...And Taurus stepped back into place.
...Then, God said: "You each have a part of My Idea. You must not mistake that part for all of My Idea, nor may you trade parts with each other. Each one of you is perfect, but you will not know that until all twelve of you are One. Then, the whole of My Idea will be revealed to each of you."
...And the children left, determined to accomplish the job assigned to the best of their ability, that each might receive God's gift...but none fully understood the task undertaken or the promised gift and when puzzled, they returned, God said: "You each believe that the other gifts are better. Therefore, I will allow you to trade." And, for the moment, each child was elated, considering all the possibilities of the new mission.
...But God smiled as he said: "You will return to Me many times asking to be relieved of your mission and, each time, I will grant your wish. You will experience countless incarnations before you complete the original mission I have prescribed to you. I give you countless time in which to do this but, only when it is done, can you be with Me."
As the Bull I took the clallenge I cast the seed, I cast some seed to the wind. I nurtured and tended to the growing seed until they were able to stand alone. Plodding each day from sun to sun doing the job that needs doing. Steadily progressing no matter what BS was thrown on the path in front of me. The reward at the end of the path was the realization that my work is making the world a better place. The seed I cast became four lovley lives. Each with their own patterns and habits. Each with there own ways. All raised with love and appreciation of hard work.
