Just keep me away from Leo men.

May 6th here

"fat and lazy? heeeeyyyy were you peekin at my profile pics? i used to think this was true of our sign but then i met a few skinny tree climb'n ones...what's yer theory on that?"

My theory on that is that, given a Gemini ascendant, say, or a lot of fire in one's chart, appearances can, of course, be different from the standard stereotype. Usually, you will find a Taurus to have thick, wavy hair, and that even the thin ones are very sturdy. Usually. But not always!
I feel that the word 'lazy' holds a lot of judgment. Most Tauruses I know can be very hard-working individuals, but when it comes to down-time, they are more likely to rest and enjoy a fine meal than to go spelunking or racing dirt bikes, or whatever. Again, there are certainly exceptions.
I, for one, will not ever be confused for a person who works quickly. I just won't. But I might be the one who works steadily and avoids the mistakes that the others have to go back and fix for themselves. Most of my co-workers have told me that they like working with me because I am so calming. I might not be noticed for being a dynamo, but the quality of my work (whatever that might be) has always been important to me. Lazy? On the surface, most likely. I am not particularly driven to dissuade anybody of the notion of my lassitude, but most people figure out after a while that I am actually getting a great deal done.

Yep, I think the ascendant has a lot to do with the appearance and personality. Oh, and genetics of course...

Tee-hee.

hell yeah. im curious as to what this negative stigma lindsey mentioned is about. i havent heard anything negative about tauruses myself and find them to be awesome people.

May 12th.... best day ever

I'm a May 17th Gal. It sort of has a really nice ring.

Meh, I don't think there's a huge stigma. But I think people misinterpret what 'stubbornness' means here. Not necessarily being a ****, but having our own agenda, and be willing to pursue it despite obstacles, and we're quite unlikely to be willing to redrum everyone who stands in our way. We'll just walk around them. ;)

Yay! Happy Birthday to me today!

And to Jessica Alba, Penelope Cruz, and Jay Leno. :D

Happy Birthday to All Taureans.......Mines was on the 21st and my younger brother was on the 28th. I was feeling creative and wrote him a poem...

After I finished the poem, I emailed it to him, although I did agonize over the ending.

<<I hope I am right,
You know sometimes my memory takes flight,
But whatever you decide to do,
I want you have fun too!

I hope you have a great Birthday,
Cause time ain't gonna wait anyway,
So eat, drink, and screw if you are able,
Enjoy your life now, before you're no longer agile.............

I had changed the last line to:
<<Enjoy your life now,before it becomes boring and banal..>>

But it just did not feel right so I ended up with this:
<<Enjoy life now, do it while you are still capable..>>

Although a bit lame, he was tickled by it because I usually forget the date......
