  Taurus - Pragmatic Sensualist or Stubborn Stick in the Mud?

  I'm betting this pic threw everyone off, including you Taurus'! The image that comes to mind when hearing Taurus is of a big lumbering cow or bull. Many people don't realize that Taurus is ruled by the planet of beauty, Venus and beauty is something natural to them and something they strive for.
  Petr Ilyich Tchaikowsky, himself a Taurus, was born on May 7th* 1840. Many people do not realize that Tchaikowsky was a homosexual and his self loathing drove him to attempting suicide on more than one occassion. One of these attempts shows his vulnerability when during the Russian winter he went naked into the Arctic like Volga River attempting to freeze himself to death.
  Tchaikowsky himself would dismiss any artistic merit attributed to the score he wrote for the ballet "The Nutcracker". It was only this year, when listening to the purity of the children's chorus sing during the "Waltz of the Snowflakes" that I exclaimed "This music is so.........so.........PRETTY." And so it is. Being Venus ruled, Tchaikowsky wrote music that in its entirety is sheer beauty itself. It was a natural expression of his Taurus artistry. If only he could have delighted in it as all of us do every time we hear or see "The Nutcracker" performed.
  *Johannes Brahms, another composer of "sheer beauty" interestingly enough has Tchaikowsky's birthday of May 7th!
