Ode to Taurus
Whether you get down with astrology or not, life lessons from a Taurus will always come in handy.
Slow like honey, intentional and refined. With an unearthly ability to sit still and assess before making any sudden moves. Some say standoffish at first but that’s seldom the real truth. They hide well enough the anxiety the rest of us buzz around with like shiny cuff links. Mellow as if perma-stoned (maybe actually baked, too, though). They have a quiet calm like those first warm nights in mid May when you realize you can be outside in the dark jacket-less without shivering. If we’re being honest, sometimes I’m jealous of their ability to stay grounded while I stumble excitedly through a story told with too many hand gestures and filler words. And run on sentences. The Taurus energy in my life has taught me patience, though most of the time I buck y’all. They‘re often the matadors to my bullshit. You won’t change their mind no matter how hard you try, but should you land one as your people, that trait will be on your side.
